Postmenopausal bleeding

Did you get scan result straight away or did result go to your gp x

I was given the result straight away by the sonographer, but my GP was surprised by that as he said they often don't.  He wasn't aware that I already knew the result.  I came to the conclusion that it's down to the individual sonographer and whether they wish to tell the patient or not.  I don't think it means anything, either good or bad x

 

Did you get scan result straight away or did result go to your gp x

The result of the scan showing polyps was given to me right away. I actually wish they had not given me the results, as I had many questions that they could not answer. They can saying they can only give me the results, but I would have to discuss my questions with my doctor.

Luckily, I get in to see my doctor four days later.

As far as the biopsy, that is going to take 1 - 2 weeks.

Michelle,

Did you go yet, or is this later today? I wish you luck. I feel for you, as I was also very nervous.

Iv been this morning x

Did it go okay? I mean as far as the test.

Yes but the bleeding a worse since the inside scan x

Oh, I'm not surprised if you were already bleeding. Try to rest. I hope it is better today.

Ok thankyou x

Hi Michelle, Just checking to see how you are doing...

Doctor has just rang me told scan showed slight thickening so got to have a biopsy but she said I have nothing to worry about I can't believe it I'm in shock as iv been I'll with worry x

Oh, I'm so happy for you. If it's nothing to worry about, I'm sure it's managable!

I'm waiting for the results of the biopsy. It's so hard not to worry.

I said is it cancer then as I have to have a biopsy but she said they do it as a precaution so you will be fine I'm sure x

The scan did show polyps. They told me not to worry about the biopsy either, but I do.

my gastro said when he does mine if I have any polyps he would remove them during the coloscopy and they routinely take several different bisopies . Did they remove yours?

I had a sonohystogram, which scans the inside of the uterus. I was awake; no pain killer what-so-ever! So, no, they did not remove them. Then I had a biopsy--again, no pain killer at all. Now they want me to schedule to have the polyps removed, but I am waiting for the biopsy results before I make any decisions.

I want to talk to some others who have actually had polyps removed. I was told they can come back.

Yep, had that one too....haha...Im so happy for you, I know its such a load off your mind, even though you had nothing to worry about...this thickening is also quite common for us menopausal women...Take care and go treat yourself to something nice... GOD Bless....

 

Debbie, I thought you was on my diverticulitis forum which I thought you had a coloscopy lol so that was not meant to go to menopause list sorry !

Hi Debbie I to have been told I have polyps and cell changes I'm waiting for a D&C hope you get answers take care xx

Hi Kerry,

All these different answers. I was told a D&C will not remove polyps. They have to snip them out and a D&C can slide right over them and not remove them. Unbelievable the differt advice we receive.

Hi Debbie yes that's right I'm having polyp removed and a D&C had I have thickness of the lining and changes in the cells from the biopsy I had xx

Oh I see. They are doing the D&C due to the thick lining, but will snip out the polyp at the same time. I hope it all goes well. Good luck!

Thank You Debbie stressing me out now x you take care xx let me know how you go xx

Kerry,

You will be fine since they are putting you out, right? Everything I heard about polyps are that they are extremely common and rarely cancerous. I hope I didn't stress you. I am just trying to learn the reasoning behind the procedures they put us through. I hope you are feeling okay in the meantime.

I also found out postmenopausal bleeding is quite common. My gyn says he sees it all the time, and does about 4-5 biopsies every day. Plus, it's obvious from all the replies you received!

O no you haven't stressed me out sorry if it came across that way no I'm stressed because of all the waiting and tests plus not ever having anethestic more scared of that if I'm honest xxx

I am afraid of anethestic too. I completely understand! They want me have the polyps removed but I haven't made a decision yet. Waiting for more test results first. Very stressful!

Hi Hun if it weren't for the fact I had some cell changes and a slight thickness to my lining I would be cancelling my procedure for sure but I can't take the risk xxxxx stay in touch xx

Hi was just wondering how you are getting on have you heard anything yet x it's been 4 weeks since I was told I needed a d&c and a polyp removal but had no date yet but 6 weeks since I had biopsy results the waiting is making me ill when I rang they said I'm on the list 😱Praying for us all 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

No, still waiting. I only had the biopsy 10 days ago. I was told the results take a few weeks.

So you are waiting on a D&C? It seems long but where do you live? I notice a lot of people wait a long time for procedures.

I'm in the states and they are fairly quick. So damn quick that I saw both my GP and my GYN the same day. Had five appointmens within two weeks.

Hi Debbie that was quick x I'm in the uk 🇬🇧 I just got off the phone my procedure is the 22nd march a day case that will be exactly 12 weeks since my biopsy results so I'm hoping that it's a good sign that there as been no rush nervous a state can be thought of the anethestic xxxx praying for a good result 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻For us all

Hi Debbie so I had my d&c and biopsy 22/3/17 I had a spinal block so that was great 👍 no polyp was found but I have thickness to the lining so now waiting and praying I'm ok xx hope you are sending 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Oh good. You are so lucky they can do a spinal block. I'd rather have that than be put under general anesthesia. Anyway, my diagnosis is polyps, but there has not been anymore bleeding. Going to keep an eye on things, but not rushing into anything.

So, I hear a lot of women have thickening of the lining. What do they do for that? I thought that was why they did a D&C. My docs will not do a D&C for polyps.

Hi Debbie so the ultrasound picture looks like I had a polyp in August but the hytroscopy in January I had and biopsy said some changes so forward to yesterday the surgeon said there was no polyp but performed a d&c to thin out my lining and sent to get tissue tested for a better test has if it is any thing bad the would no has the uterus has been cleared of all cells xx some times a in office only picks parts of lining and can be miss cells has it won't cover the the whole uterus this d&c is the final test if nothing found then it's final if you get me xxx hope you are well let me know how you get on I have to wait for results now xx 🙏🏻🙏🏻 For us both xxx
