waiting for biopsy results after hysteroscopy

hi i had an hysteroscopy  last week as I have been having pelvic pain  which sometimes feels like pressure pushing down then other times a throbbing.  anyway i started bleeding very heavy   that I was taken to hospital  i had an internal scan   which detected a fibroid and a polyp  they said i need a hysteroscopy  to investigate further when i had that done  after the consultant  said that my womb was smooth one side but very rough  the other he took a biopsy  and said that he can't say what it is until results but that they will be  checking for cancer i am going out my mind waiting.

  • I rang hospital my results have been back since the 13th of March. I spoke to consultants secretary and she can't tell me results as consultant hasn't looked at them yet they have been sitting on his desk for a week and he still hasn't looked I have been so stressed with worry still in pain every day how can they treat people like this
  • Hi Loopylou67, Hope you have got your results now? Hope everything ok.x  I have got a hysteroscopy/biospy on 26th march, im proper scared and worried. How was it for you? And how did you feel afterwards. Getting quite anxious about it now. My nurse wanted me to have 1 or 2 weeks off work, is that really necessary, only got two days off to rest, when nurse heard i only had 2 days off, she didnt look too happy. What can i do when i cant afford to be off. Sorry for the long message, just nice to talk to someone who has gone through the hysteroscopy already. Thankyou in advance.

  • Hi I have one tomorrow, I was ok but now I am feeling very nervous are you going to be awake ? I am as I want this growth thing sorted ASAP and didn’t want to wait another month for a general anaesthetic 

  • hi Murray 71 I am still waiting for results   the procedure its self wasn't painful it was uncomfortable and I had cramping pains after     I went to work next day. but just made sure I took it easy.    if u are having a polyp  removed they can do that while u have the  procedure they couldn't do mine as they couldn't get to it as one side of my womb was very rough. why they took biopsy  which I am hoping I get results  this week as it's been 3 weeks now.   good luck with your appointment let me know how it goes x

  • Hi everyone I have an appointment to get a polyp removed by hysteroscopy procedure 10th April. Slightly nervous now about the procedure and then it’s the waiting on the results. I have had no symptoms at all, the polyp was discovered when I had a scan done investigating pelvic pain but that pain has now settled but I think they still need to remove the polyp and do a biopsy. Please god you all get the results you want to hear.

  • It was very painful, maybe just my anatomy as I know others have been ok under local . No polyp but very thick womb lining and the surgeon fitted a coil. They didn’t say much, just have to wait for the results now !!

  • hi sorry to hear it was painful. hope u get results quickly. I rang hospital again today as I know they have had results back since 13th still no one can tell what results are consultants secretary  now on annual leave no one seemed  to  know  where consultant  was just got passed from one dept to another all I want is results of biopsy  so if clear move on to next step of what's causing pain

  • Goodness, you must be very frustrated. Perhaps you could speak to the hospital PALS team, (Patient advice and liaison service.) They can help find information for you. 

  • I wouldn’t be happy with that ! Ask to speak to the head of the surgical department. That’s not on leaving you worrying all that time !!

  • I have tried   everything   I cant wait another week I am putting on a front to my kids pretending I'm ok   while in pain  and worrying cant concentrate at work  it's making me I'll with worry

  • Ask to speak with the clinical director and explain what’s happened. Usually another secretary would cover if the other is on annual leave . 

  • I have been to my doctors today and she rang hospital while I was there and my biopsy  has come back   nothing to worry about something to do with endometrial glands which wouldn't cause pain been having.  so doc then sent me for   xray on lower back and pelvis and now have to wait for appointment for laparoscopy  but relieved 

  • Brilliant news!! You must be so relieved  

  • I am   I cried with relief.  i had been putting of my wedding plans as didn't know what results would be. still in pain   but at least now cancer of womb has been ruled out.     i hope your results are good news too x

  • I did something stupid last night and watched a YouTube video of a lovely lady who had uterine cancer . Well it was almost identical symptoms to me. Bloating, bleeding, pelvic pain and worse of all I was only telling my mum last week how unbelievably tired I have been . I am bloated right up again as we speak , I am going to prepare for the worse and anything other is good news. I told my husband I hadn’t been feeling right he’s a Dr and thinks I am a hypochondriac ( which I am ) but something is not quite right

  • I think people know their own bodies and know when something is not right.    you shouldn't watch stuff like that on YouTube though because there are so many things that have same symptoms. i feel bloated alot  in pain every day sometimes not to bad but it's there then other days  the pain is so intense  where i am curled up in a ball and the pain when at its worst is also in my lower back and my left leg in the groin area. i constantly feel tired    i used to be so active  now i can just about manage to carry a bag of shopping without it feels like its pulling my insides out.  i constantly need to pee and without being gross my bowel movements are   very  irregular can go days without  releasing my bowels. still now at least i know what it's not now have to eliminate all other things but it's a slow process  if i could afford to go private i would
