Hi i was just wondering if anyone knows how long the waiting usually is for vulva biopsy results, I have been waiting for my results for almost 4 weeks now should I be worried and how long does it usually take?

thank you

    Hi ,

    I would give the consultant secretary a ring to chase the results. They can email the lab and find out what the hold up is. 
    take care

    Hi

    i had biopsies 5 weeks ago today.  I was told results would be 4-6 weeks.  I did think it might be sooner rather than later as they haven’t been doing many biopsies due to the pandemic. I was waiting since January.  I guess I was wrong!  My view currently is no news is good news, so I shouldn’t worry too much.  I know it’s a pain waiting but if the results were in and there was any issue they’d have been in touch, it might just be your consultant is quite busy.  Take care.

    Most consultants are ringing their patients but you should get an appointment slot so you know when to expect the call. Did you call the secretary?
