I got my biopsy results from the Lab but missed a call from the doctor.  I won't be able to speak to her until Friday now.  Does anyone know how to interpret the results.  I've been looking it up but keep getting conflicting informa

ENDOMETRIAL

BIOPSY

:

FRAGMENTS OF BENIGN ENDOCERVICAL POLYP

.

SCANT SUPERFICIAL FRAGMENTS OF WEAKLY PROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM, PREDOMINANTLY SURFACE EPITHELIUM.

FRAGMENTS OF BENIGN ENDOCERVICALTISSUE.

Biopsy was done because I had a day of spotting 17 months after last period.

    Barb I'm obviously not a doctor, but those words don't look bad in any way.  "Weakly proliferative" and "benign"  tissue isn't indicating anything thing bad.  I'd say relax until you talk with your doctor.  

    Sounds like you don't have a lot of estrogen in your body.

    Hi

     I am not a dr either I was a nurse but I did hospice so totally the other end of the spectrum it doesn’t sound bad again when you speak to your dr they can explain it much better sometimes a surge in hormones or the polyp can cause a bleed as well considering you were 17 months into menopause this whole thing just sucks doesn’t it I’m in perimenopause and I feel like a alien has taken over my body I just hang onto hope that it will get better hang in there and let us know what the dr says

    And Barb, I may have missed some of your background story, but I’ve know several women more than a year past meno who have had a random “period”.   I know we’re always told to be cautious, but it often is meaningless. Just one final hoorah.

      This is my second time around with this.  Not to go into the whole story but in August 2016 I was 13 months without period.  Went for ultrasound and biopsy...nothing but a hormonal surge.  Then Feb 3 of this year, I started spotting for a day...just one sticking day!....and had to have the ultrasound and biopsy again.  Then I just got these results.  I'm not really worried....haha....but just wish I didn't miss the phone call from the doctor so I know exactly whats going on.

      Oh ok, so this is your body’s way of doing it.    My last year I was on a 6 month cycle. LOL.  That slow decent isn’t so bad.  And the good news is I bet you’re feeling pretty good because you’re still producing something. Even if it’s sporadic.

      Sorry if this is getting repeated but my computer is acting up.

      So here I go again!  Long Story short....2 years ago after no period for 13 months, I get my period.  All tests came out negative.

      6 months ago after no period for 17 months....I spotted for a day.  All tests came back negative.

      2 weeks ago, all pms symptoms and boom!  I get my period.  Trying not to panic but of course there is always a voice in the back of my head that says "panic!" 

      I do not want to go through all tests again!  Help!

    Basically you are looking at a result that says yes we found some things but they are harmless and I'm certain that is what your dr will say on Friday. If there was anything nasty that needed immediate treatment you would not be waiting for a callback from your dr they would be ringing and ringing you. So dont panic you'll make yourself feel worse and one last piece of advice STOP GOOGLING this can make you think that you have allsorts of things that you dont have and can aggravate anxiety issues. Hope this gives you some reassurance until you speak to your dr hun. XXX

    Spoke to Doctor and all is good!  Like you ladies said, I am still producing some estrogen.No mention of a polyp either.  Guess that's why I shouldn't try to diagnose myself.  Making an appointment to go to a psychologist today.  I have to learn how to control my health anxiety.  I am almost 59 and feel like I spent half my life worrying about things.  Those things will always be there so I need to get control of my emotions.  Hopefully it will help.
