If you are post menopausal they will always further  investigate if lining is over 4mm and there has been bleeding..I had this PMB in 2019, scan, then a biopsy which was clear then hysteroscopy where polyps were found, had to be removed with a general due to position, all clear.

Fast forward to Jan 2023 and it happened again, scan (lining 8mm up from 7mm in 2019), hysteroscopy with biopsy taken, womb lining clear, but polyps found, back in to have them removed under the Myo ure procedure so I was awake but BP too high, so sent home, BP sorted and hack again for polyp removal with Myosure, this time they found atypia hyperplasia in one of the polyps, that’s pre cancerous cells, recommended treatment was a hysterectomy because it can turn into full cancer and there is a 40% chance that cancer will still be found once womb etc sent off for biopsy.

Got a cancellation for hysterectomy in June but my blood sugars were too high so sent home and told to have op in September to give me time to get blood sugar down and in the meantime I had a mirena coil put in and another womb biopsy taken, that was normal.

I had my hysterectomy on Monday and came home on Tuesday and am now taking it easy at home, although I look like I’m having triplets! 

So, whilst they can tell you everything looks ok, they can’t be 100% until they have taken biopsies…I was told at all of my hysteroscopies that everything looked ok but cells only show up under a microscope.

Hoping everything turns out good for you x

I hope you recover soon,you have been through a lot .

I am having a hystercopy, biopsy and smear( have tried three times to do a smear and not enough cells each time).

I've been told that biopsy results can take 5 weeks though I would imagine those patients with cancer take preference.

Thankfully I haven't had a bleed since August though continue having period type cramps on a daily basis.

Nobody takes preference, my first biopsies in 2019 were back in 2/3 weeks, this year the first lot were back after 2 weeks but the results with the hyperplasia took over 5 weeks and I was tearing my hair out! Last womb biopsy took over 4 weeks, guess it depends how busy the labs are, my hysterectomy results I’m not expecting for around 5/6 weeks as there is a lot to dissect.

I came home looking like I’m expecting triplets ! Hoping everything will settle down soon 

Thank you for telling me this,

I would have been assuming if I didn't hear from them fairly quickly that all was fine.

It's better to be informed and prepared so thanks again

I sort of assumed that too, but a conversation with my consultant told me it’s not the case, there is also the MDT meetings to consider, a lot of hospitals have MDT’s as standard and so if your results come back the day after the weekly MDT you have to wait until your results are discussed at the MDT the following week.

The waiting is the worst…I’ve got another period of it now until my hysterectomy results are back and hoping nothing nasty was lurking there, I’ll be pleased to see the back of 2023!

I will be thinking of you,and hope your results are good news.

Sounds like u have been through an awful lot hope that u don’t have to wait too long . How are u coping with the pain ? 

The broken arm is more painful than the hysterectomy if I’m honest..my tummy is still swollen but the trapped wind has now all gone, that was really painful..I’m just glad to have it all out the way and just hoping the results are ok…I’ll be back in hospital again for the pinning of my arm before too long I suspect…happy days, said nobody ever!
