Transvaginal ultrasound

I had a transvaginal ultrasound yesterday because I have started spotting for 10-15 days immediately after my period (for about a year now) I’m 47. I was expecting them to say it’s a fybroid, how ever she said they are recommending my doctor sends my for a hystoscopy as they said they think it may be a fybroid in my womb lining and due to the nature of where it is they want a biopsy to be sure. I am apsolutly beside my self with worry not for the procedure but the outcome. Any positive advise would be welcome right now please.

Also in my state I can’t remember if she said: 

I am recommending your gp sends you for a hystoscopy because the womb lining should be smoth and I think you have a fybroid  on it but can’t tell due to the thick lining of you womb and the position of it.

or

all of the above but the fybroid should be smoth and it’s not so we need a biopsy to see what it is.

any thought on this please? 

thanks

    Hello Tazman, 

    I am sorry you are going through such a stressful time following your transvaginal ultrasound. It's good you went to the doctor's about this and that they are looking into it. Try not to panic though if you can as it may just be a fibroid as they suspect but it's good that they are being thorough and doing a biopsy. Keep well away from the temptation to look things up online as it will only make you believe the least likely and scariest scenario. I am not sure exactly what was said to you but having the hysteroscopy will enable them to determine with certainty what it is and will hopefully give you some clarity even though it is such an anxious time for you now. You should usually get the results within 2 weeks. Waiting for test results can be worrying and there are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    Other members of our community will have been through something similar and I hope that they will come along and share their story with you. 

    I am keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern.

    Best wishes,
