Polyps

Posted , 7 users are following.

Few weeks ago I told you I had post menopausal bleeding they gave me a smear that's normal and I went for an ultra sound up to check my womb. Well she told me there was a polyp on the lining of the womb and took a scraping which were described as a biopsy got a letter yesterday normal cells.

Now I went up to hospital on Wednesday I thought to get it removed and was told that the polyp would need to be removed by General anaesthetic but she went ahead and got her young male gynaecologist to probe where it was and get a biopsy.

I will now get to my point why didn't they leave it and get it checked when they were going to remove it was this just practise for the younger doctor. This waiting for test after test has got my anxiety off the charts.

Sorry for whining but it's better than lifting up an item and throwing it through my window to relieve my anxiety and much cheaper. xxx

      They said they would not fit the coil .

      You know something I am sick of it all they forget that there is a person in front of them all they said was it needed to be taken out under General anaesthetic cause it was larger and the biopsy from the scraping of the womb was normal and when I said would cancer be within the polyp if there was any, since the first biopsy came back clear she said it was just a small amount they took.

      I am still wondering why they took a biopsy of the polyp since it is coming out anyway and they could have checked it then. I still think it was to give the younger man a chance to take a biopsy and using me as the dummy.

      Hope you are well....Heather x

    A little update of my pigging polyp saga.

    I am on a waiting list which the letter said could be 12 weeks or more for a procedure, what procedure I ain't got a clue as they told me days ago I couldn't have one as my bmi is too high to have the polyp removed under General anaesthetic. I was supposed to get the merina coil fitted but they said no to that as well.

    So the saga continues of Heather and her menopausal bleeding and who will pull their head out their ass and actually help me.............Good health to everyone and don't let the b******s get you down. xx
