Worried, just had a hystoscopy & biopsy

Hi,

 

I'm worried and I'm wondering if there is anyone else that has gone through anything similar...

So I keep bleeding between periods, I've always had a bad history with periods and have been going to the doctors complaining for years- but not all the time I don't like to mither. 

 

I have had a number of smear tests, I am 29 years old, the first being around 25 I think which came back for HPV then ended up being nothing on the latest smear test.

 

Anyway at the start of July I was fed up of periods lastign 8/9 days and then bleeding in between, sometimes filling a pad! So I was asked a lot of questions had a blood test which came back normal for hormone levels. 

 

I was then sent to have an ultrasound, the doctor couldnt see anything so this changed to an internal.

You know when you lie there and it feels like forever and that something isnt right, thats how I felt. Once it was done it was like the doctor would look at me. On the way out his assistant advised that I would hear from my GP within 5-7 days.

 

I arrived back at work and 4 hours later I recieved a call from my GP advising that I was being referred to gynacology. I had my appointment the other day, before I lay down I was advised that there would be a camera and biopsy- (having had one at my smear test a few years before I already know that they are not nice at all and possibly the worst pain I have personally felt so far).

 

I lay down and cried right away, I have been so wound up by it all thinking the worse. I won't lie the pain wasnt good at all for me. Following this I had to have a blood test too.

 

I guess I'm looking for somewhere where I can write all this down, somewhere I can say I am scared and not put pressure on family to say its ok it won't be anything. I'm hoping it wont, be but I am scared.

  • Hello Bex91,

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your biopsy results. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
