Hello everyone, I am 63 and have been post menopausal since I was 51. I am new on here but have been reading your posts and have found them very helpful. I do have a delima at the moment which I know I can't change but wondered if anyone had had the same experience, sorry it is long winded.
I started having a brown discharge 2 years ago which is constant but not heavy. My GP refered me to a consultant and i had all the tests that you all had, they found a small fibroid and all biopsys were fine. The consultant recommend I have a hysterectomy and a pelvic floor repair on my bladder as it needed a repair. I was all set and had my appointment for the op then it got cancelled because of covid 2020. I moved county's at the end of last year and my new doctor referred me to a new consultant at a different hospital and my notes were forwarded from my old consultant. I have had a consultation with the new consultant and a vaginal ultrasound, which I am waiting for the results. I am now being told I don't need a hysterectomy as it has not proplsed enough and she can do a pelvic floor repair if I want her to. She has also put me back on vaginal tablets (hrt) which I was on over two years ago and only stopped about 4 months ago to see if the discharge went away, it turned pink instead of brown. So I have gone back at least two years in treatment. I was lucky enough to talk to my previous consultant and all he said was some consultants are more conservative with the treatment and that I shouldn't have moved, I only moved as I was reassured that I could just swap hospitals, and I would have had to start the buying and selling all over again, very stressful.
So am I alone in thinking I should have the same diagnosis with the new consultant and be having the same operation, I was under the impression I could choose what hospital I have my operation at after diagnosis.
What are your thoughts on my situation?
