Ovarian Cyst and Polyps - how long do biopsy results take?

Hi everyone, I have been diagnosed with 2 polyps, and a cyst on my ovary. The reason I went to get it checked out was because the last 6 months I have been have bleeding between my periods. 
last Tuesday I had the polyps removed via a hysterscopy and a biopsy. They said they would check the ovary again in 2 months. They checked my Ca125 and it was in the normal range. I have been worried about the biopsy and polyps they sent off. How long do you normally wait for the results. Also is it odd I have a cyst too? 

  • Hello Cooper66 and welcome to the community.

    The wait for results does seem to be a bit longer than usual at the moment due to the pandemic but it can also differ depending on what part of the country you're in.

    If you're worried you could try getting in touch with your GP or the department that carried out your tests but fingers crossed you won't be waiting much longer.

    We'll have our fingers crossed for good news Cooper.

    All the best,
