Waiting time for Hysteroscopy

Hi all,

Just curious how long it took from the consultant saying they want to do a Hysteroscopy to getting the actual procedure? 

I’m 42 years old and had issues for a while. About 3 years ago diagnosed with Adynomiosis after an ultrasound and MRI. Was fitted with Mineria coil. 2 and a half years on I am still bleeding inbetween periods and my periods last for at least 10 days - it has been gradually getting worse. After doctor checking coil and appeared to be in right place referred me for ultrasound just in case. Ultrasound showed thickened lining. Results said an enlarged uterus with endometrium abnormally thickened measuring 22mm. I was referred to a consultant and after 5months of waiting mover from local NHS hospital to One Health as told wait would be shorter. Another 2 months on have been seen by a consultant and told they want to do a Hysteroscopy and biopsy to check for cancer. 5 weeks on no appointment. I am fed up of waiting and just want it all over and done with. 

Any advice? I have emailed to follow up but not heard anything.

  • I hope you manage to get sorted  , the waiting for stuff to happen is painful when you just want to know what is going on and get treatment to help. Please keep up posted on how you get on and glad you have at least had the procedure. 

      you are right. Will ring them today. 

  • So an update. I rang department direct and was told there are no appointments available and they cannot give me any timescales. I sent a message to my doctor who phoned me to say he was livid and had sent a very snotty letter to them. (I can not fauto him at all has been very supportive) That was yesterday. They called me today and I have an appointment book. It isn’t until the end of feb - but it booked! Yippee - I might be able to move on.  

  • That's good news much better than not having a date ,there's nothing worse than just wondering if and when you will get an appointment and thinking they might have forgotten about you well done for persevering ,I hope you get good results .
