Hi, I had a lesion removed from vulvar (labia majora)  last week- ended up being more than expected - 2 lumps taken off rather than one so looks like someone has taken a big bite out of my labia

Consultant said follow up appointment will be in 6 weeks by which time histology report should be back. 

Just wondering is 6 weeks usual wait time to receive histology results? 

I wasn’t aware that the surgery would be so extensive and include removing part of the labia majora  - not sure if this was planned or the result of removing more than anticipated. Wasn’t aware they’d removed so much when the consultant came round & forgot to ask if the operation went as planned - i was still feeling very content from the general anaesthesia and whatever they’d given me.

I know the consultant thinks my insurance companies rates are too low (work insurance policy) so am wondering if they are trying to save time by combining the routine follow up with the histology results.

That’s why I’m wondering if it does take 6 weeks to get histology results back? 

aware that it’s very unlikely to be anything malignant in the vulvar area but would still like to know either way
