This seems a long time to wait?

Hi Everyone, Is it commonplace to have to wait 6 weeks for a pelvic ultrasound? I understood it was a 2 week referal...I am stressed enough as it is.

I guess it depends on where you are and the healthcare there. And also why you are having the ultrasound. I didn't wait that long.

Hi Wainright
I think it probably depends on your symptoms. In the UK, if they suspect cancer they put you on the 2 weeks express cancer pathway, which means you'll be seen within 2 weeks. If it's something else, you probably end up having to wait longer. Hope that helps. xx

Hi becky & jane,
I was referred by My GP after having a pink discharge 5 years post menopause.

Then I think I'd look for somewhere else. 6 weeks isn't typical as far as in concerned. But I'm in the US.

Hmm... I would at least have a conversation with your GP, ask why they've referred you and why the appointment is 6 weeks away. Or request a second opinion from a different GP. What area of the country are you in Wainright? J x

May I ask why your gyne isn't involved in this? My gyne setup all my ultrasounds which were about a month out.
