Worried - bleeding after menopause

I have been taking HRT for 6 months, I had started my menopause over 20 years, since taking HRT I’ve started to bleed. Long story short, I had a scan which showed that my womb lining has thickened to 5:3, also have a cyst which is unusual at my age of 56. The Doctor has advices I have my ovaries and fallopian tubes removed. 

I have to wait for 3 weeks for by biopsy results and I’m really worried.

Has anyone experienced this too?

Thank you all 

  • Hello Shamin, 

    This must be a rather stressful time for you as you have learned that you need to have your ovaries and fallopian tubes removed and having to wait weeks for biopsy results can be nerve-racking so it's normal to be worried and I hope that you will get these important results very soon. 

    I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have similarly experienced bleeding after taking HRT or who have also had their ovaries and fallopian tubes removed and that they will share their experience with you. While you are waiting for results, I thought I would share with you our helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that you get these biopsy results very soon and that it turns out to be nothing of concern. I hope that the surgery to remove your ovaries and fallopian tubes goes well and that you will recover quickly. 

    Best wishes,

  • I'm almost in the same position. I've been in menopause and haven't had a period for 3 years. Last week I started bleeding heavily with large clots. I'm getting up 4 or 5 times to change my clothes. My doctor has referred me for urgent appointment and the notes say suspected cancer.  I'm really worried and can't stop googling
