Hello ladies

just had my hysteroscopy where the consultant said he could not see a polyp and there was nothing concerning. He showed me the screen and it just looked like candy floss, white and fluffy (3 weeks post ablation). He took a number of biopsies. Different consultant to tiesday, this one said he was concerned about my abdominal distension and wants an urgent ct.

  • Hi Aimee

    I think it’s sensible that the consultant has suggested a Ct scan, as this will give more information. Hopefully you won’t have long to wait for it-let us know how you get on. I hope your pain levels are improving now-it’s very wearing to live with pain all the time.

  • Good morning 

    the new trust is certainly thorough! I will keep you all up to date. I’m wondering if anyone has experience of the fluffy candy floss / cotton wool appearance of the endometrium at hysteroscopy? I didn’t expect it to look like that.

  • It’s good they are being thorough. I didn’t look at the screen when I was having my hysteroscopy, so sorry-no experience to share with this.

  • Yes. I had the white fluffy "candy floss" which looked like it swayed a lot with the water they pumped in. I've had a hysteroscopy twice by two different consultants and neither seem bothered by this at all. After polyp removal consultant returned my biopsy to the Path Lab twice as he was so surprised by my Polyp results so I think if this had been a signal of something wrong he wouldn't have done that even if he hadn't let on to me. When I was prepping for this I looked at some YouTube videos and saw the same on those examples.

  • Hi, yes that’s exactly what mine was like. He said there was no polyp there and took some biopsies. I had an ablation 3 weeks ago & presumed that would have cleared anything within the uterine cavity. Did you have a biopsy of the endometrium too ? What was the outcome for you ?

  • Still on the morphine and it’s helping. Although I have more pain after hysteroscopy

  • I didn't have any other biopsy as they thought it was just a basic polyp removal and a quick fix. I'm having hysterectomy at the end of the month so it will have a full biopsy then and I'll report back. Sorry you're in so much pain.

  • Hi yes I had the fluffy candy floss too have a read of my bio xx

  • Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. How are you now ?
