Hysteroscopy biospy

Hello,

I'm just trying to get some reassurance and maybe chat to some people going through the same thing/waiting. 

Around 2 months ago I had an internal ultrasound and it was noted that I had thickened areas in my uterine lining and possible polyp. I was referred to gynaecology and had my appointment today. My symptoms are bleeding between periods and heavy bleeding after a bowel moment (from vagina) and on/off cramping throughout my cycle.

I had a hysteroscopy and the gynaecologist took 2 biopsies of 2 separate areas where he said there are 'unusual growths'. The room went silent. Once I had got dressed I asked the gynaecologist what the liklihood is that it's cancer and he basically didn't really want to give me an answer but said its possible it is or its possible that it's tissue that could turn cancerous in the future. 

I wish I would of asked more questions but after being in discomfort and bleeding from the hysteroscopy and biopsies I wanted to just leave. 

I have been booked in for a follow-up appointment for 6 weeks time and the gynaecologist said that it takes around 2-4 weeks for the biopsies results to come back so if it's anything "bad" then he will ring me before the 6 week follow up..

I'm just feeling super stressed and upset. I'm 32 years old and planned to start a family in the next year.

  • Hi Amber 567,

    Sorry to hear you’re going through this also. I’ve just had a similar experience of internal scan few months back and then a hysteroscopy on Friday there to remove polyp and investigate thickened lining that was picked up on internal scan. Similar symptoms to yourself also and pain when having bowel/ bladder movements as well as feeling like a have a constant uti. 

    The wait is horrible and it’s only been two days

  • Hello, the wait is horrible isn't it

    I'm still bleeding quite heavily after the hysteroscopy I had on Wednesday, I'm wondering when it might calm down a bit. Had quite a bit of pain and clots too
