Hi I'm sorry I'm probably worrying myself unnecessarily, I've already posted about waiting for a scan as I've had post menopausal bleeding and I'm going for an urgent scan on Tuesday next week, I was just having a check around today inside and felt a possible lump inside vagina, I can't remember feeling this before, perhaps because I'm already in the system and waiting for a scan I'm imagining all sorts, but will they be able to check this on the ultrasound next week? sorry if TMI, i'm still bleeding from vagina, started last friday, which was why I phoned my GP on monday and then she referred me urgently for scan. I'm imagining all sorts whilst trying to be rational and sensible and telling myself that according to the leaflet, post menopausal bleeding is common and is often nothing to worry about [or so the leaflet tells me!]
sorry if im rambling I'm just scared.
thanks for taking the time to read this xx
Hi katyemz46 I'm sure if you mention this when you have your scan on Tuesday they'll get a gynae nurse to take a quick look.
Normally when an ultrasound is done a gynae sister will look at the results and decide if a hysteroscopy and biopsy should be done. However we've all got wise as to how painful this can be an opt to have it done under GA/Epidural.
Try not to fret about this all weekend, easy to say, impossible to do! We've all had these worries and normally they turn out to be nothing.
Sending big hugs, Barb xx

Thanks Barb, I will mention it on Tuesday, just to be sure, as you say I'm sure I'm probably worrying about nothing, I'm just trying to be rational and sensible,though not always successfully! I've not had a smear done for ages, stupid I know but you know how time goes past and you think, oh well I'll phone them etc and then you forget and time again goes past so quickly! thanks again , will try not to overthink! Partner is being amazingly supportive so I'm lucky there, we've not said anything to anyone because we don't want to worry them unnecessarily
thanks again
