Hi,
I went into hospital in Dec 2022 as my uterus was 4.4 i was 55 and gone through menopause the results all clear no further action
i went in again in jan 2024 as i had a small bleed in nov 2023 ultra sound showed it was now 6.9 but they said not to worry as they only worry when it gets to 11(i dont want it to get to 11)
just had my results in an this is what it said
"This patient underwent a hysteroscopy and biopsy under general anaesthetic 23.1.24. This showed an atrophic endometrium and cervix. The histology results support this finding - the sample was scanty with no evidence of neoplasia. No further input is required."
i guess this makes sense to them but not me ?
Also the pre op nurse asked if i had been offered the marina coil ? No i had not
I spoke to a nurse on here and she sent me some very good information which also stated that you should be offered coil or the pill i have been offered neither i had no clue until i did my own research,
why have they not informed me ?is this standard to mis out this info twice ?
i know i should feel relieved ..i think, if i have understood letter, not really too sure,?
i feel i need to see my doctor and even email the surgeon but i dont want to come across as rude, but i want to also try and stop this getting bigger its not even being monitored which the info i got from here said it should be ,
is my hospital failing me ?
i know i asked the first time round if i could just have a hysterectomy but they said no,i asked why it was getting bigger if no polyp or fibrod found they said sometimes being over weight?i am 2 stone over weight,sorry for long post i just need to sound off as i dont like to worry family friends plus they all think i should be happy but im just scared.
Any advice would be really welcome thanks for taking time if you got this far x
I was offered a Mirena coil after I was sent home from a planned hysterectomy due to high blood sugar..I had it put in and must say I hated it for the 3 months it was there, I had bleeding every day, I was glad when I had my hysterectomy and it was removed at the same time..I had complex atypical hyperplasia in a polyp (precancerous cells) and that was probably why I was offered it.
Contact your consultant and ask why you have not been given the choice to have one.
thank you ,yes i will defo see my gp its just trying to get an appointment at the moment but thanks for replying x
