Post menopausal bleeding

Hello

At 57 i have a history of heavy periods, or so i  thought! Had a hysteroscopy, d&c, and was fitted for mirena coil about 8 yrs ago and for the 5 years i had the coil i had no bleeds and no problems. Once that came out i was back to square one, bleeding heavily and clotting every 6 weeks. My Gp referred me to gynea who did a number of transvaginal scans and a couple of d&cs in the past years but covid meant a lot of cancelled clinics. Anyways, following another transvaginal ultrasound in jan i i was referred to see a Gynacological oncologist. He did a d&c and hysterascope, and told me i had fibroids and a large polyp that he couldnt fully remove, and that i i was pass the menopause. Thankfully those tests came back clear, but due to bleeding and fibroids i i needed a hysterectomy. Had that 5 weeks ago, but when i rang for results i i was told my case is being discussed at an MDT meeting this week and i have an appointment to come in after that. im wondering what they may have found in pathology that the d&c didnt show, or perhaps an MDT meeting is routine - although i do know of others in hospital with me who just got a call to say everything came back clear. Anyone else had a diagnosis after a clear d&c? Thanks for reading.
