Post Menopausal Polyps

Hi there

Feeling very emotional, super anxiety and can't sleep or eat!  Last June i had some post menopausal bleeding, I was 58 so had a hysteroscopy to get it checked out!  Results came back "as i suspected it might biopsy sample taken at your recent appointment has been reported by labs as containing insufficient material for analysis. This is nothing to worry about especially as ultrasound, scan and hysteroscopy were reassuring.  I am happy to discharge you from clinic at present, however please attend GP if you have any further bleeding"

Then on 21st January 2022 had another bleed which was only very slight and short!   I reported to my GP and she said she would refer me to hospital!    6 weeks later and not having heard anything re appointment i had another bleed which lasted 3 days - I called my GP and turns out she hadn't referred me in january as she had dictated letter but omitted to press send!    She said she would refer me straight to hysteroscopy-   I had hysteroscopy on 24th March and the scan showed a possible polyp but she couldn't get to it by hysteroscopy-   she referred me to the myosure clinic to get it removed!    I am still waiting on that NHS appointment but i decided to go private as i couldn't wait!   Consultant when he did scan saw the polyp and arranged for me to hsve hysteroscoy with myosure!    I had that done privately on thursday and i was told i had two polyps, one very small and other about 1cm!   I had these removed and am presently awaiting the results of the polyp biopsy which i'm told could take 10 days -   I am beside myself with worry, i can't eat or sleep,  i am jittery and i feel my whole life has been out on hold!   I turned 59 in March -   I have been on HRT for 5/6 years but decided to just stop taking altogether which i did last thursday!    I'm sick with worry and rang doctors for something only to be spoken to a very unsympathetic male doctor who was quite curt with me!    I dissolved into tears and he just wanted off the phone -   got another week to wait for results and don't know how i'm going to cope

 

 

  • I'm sorry your going through all this. It's not a nice place to be. While it's worrying and stressful there is nothing you can do to change anything right now. Breathe deep dont let your mind run away with imaginings of what may be. When I was in that waiting time I knew it could all get crazy but the time right now is just a time of unknowing so get creative be busy sing, today is today. Sending you loads of love and hope that it all turns out OK... however OK may look xxx

  • Thank you,  feeling very overwhelmed!  I had the hysteroscopy with myosure on Thursday and strangely apart from straight afterwards i had no bleeding at all for nearly two days then slight bleeding started, nothing major, then it disappeared again and is now back as a pinkish discharge but i feel the discharge is smelly - i don't know whether i'm  just being paranoid or whether i should phone the hospital tomorrow and say?  I also feel a slight throbbing in my cervix too,  just don't know what is normal and what warrants investigation?   Trying to get anyone to give an opinion in the medical world is impossible, just makes my worries balloon

  • Call them and ask. They may want to check you haven't got an infection after the procedure. Cheering you on xxx

  • Thank you Rainbow, so need someone to talk to right now as feel so isolated x

  • Just checking in and seeing how your doing x

  • Hi Petrolrainbow,

    Not good to be honest, having flushes now starting around 7pm and last night woke up saturated!   I decided last Thursday to come off HRT totally and stopped taking the tablets, don't know whether this is cause or ongoing stress and anxiety!  I also rang hospital yesterday i had the myosure hysteroscopy in as i had pink discharge which was smelly, i had to drive over to get antibiotics in case of infection!   Today on a walk i started bleeding again, not heavily but don't know whether still as a result of hysteroscopy and polyp removal, result of possible infection or severe stress! once again rang hospital and was told normal especially if infection and that when i finished antibiotics it would cease!   Don't know what to believe and what not to!  I have to force food down as it's like a swear word and i dread going to bed as i know i'm going to wake up in the early hours!  To think i have another week to wait for results and it will only improve if good news!    am a wreck
