Hi, I posted about three weeks ago due to ongoing symptoms over the last year, I have bled everyday for a year (pre menopause) bright red blood and clots, waited 5 months for a scan which detected something which they couldn’t determine either polyp or other it said.
last week back hip and pelvic pain escalated to the point where I couldn’t walk properly and I was haemorrhaging blood, I was admitted to hospital in the gynae ward. On the first day they attempted biopsy but too much blood so sent me for another scan as the consultant felt that the scanners could pin point it better than original scan.
Scan came back and they said my uterus is expanded mid to lower section by a heterogenous lesion, may be a pendulacated prolapsed submocous fibroid or a polyp on a stalk but they need to rule out cancer. They managed to take a biopsy the next day, I was in distres and crying not at the biopsy but because I had to walk from my hospital bed to get it done and in extreme pain. Morphine wasn’t even cutting it I just need whatever this is out!
i was discharged so on bed rest at home on various opioids I’ve signed for a hysterocopy plus polypectomy plus myomectomy depending what it is. My discharge letter says I’ve been booked for one but not given a date and no idea of how long just told I’m on emergency list. I’ve also been given tablets to slow the bleeding.
has anyone experienced similiar? How long does biopsy usually take and urgent hysterocopy? I’m really upset this has been left so long and has now escalated to this point.
The scan says my lesion is 3cm and expanding the lower to mid section of uterus nothing has been mentioned about lining at all, cervix is attached to my vaginal wall or has moved but looks health despite having lletz loop incision 14 years ago.
I took the hysterocopy by local so I would get it done quicker but not sure if it will be successful removing whatever it is
