After having increasingly painful and heavy periods over the last 12 months I went for an internal ultrasound at the end of March where they believe that they found a 6mm polyp in my uterus lining. I was told it wasn't anything to worry about but that I'd be referred to a gynaecologist to look at it further. It's been a month since then and I have not had any appointment through from the gynaecologist. I spoke to the hospital who have it on their system and they have told me that my gp has sent me for an "urgent" referral to them, but the appointment has not been triaged yet. When I heard the word urgent I immediately panicked and asked how urgent this was, and they explained it wasn't as urgent as a 2 week referral but it was urgent, and I could be waiting 4-6 weeks. What could this mean? If it is urgent surely I should be seen more quickly? The longer I wait the more i am worrying!
Any help/advice is really welcomed- TIA!
