Biopsy post menopausal bleeding
« on: March 22, 2025, 10:24:48 AM »

Is something up? So January I had Hysteroscopy for post menopausal bleeding, I’m 56 and 2 years in to menopause. Not on HRT. All looked fine,  took a biopsy as was in there! Had cervical polyp which was removed and fine.  no more bleeding since, biopsy came back as inconclusive. Got a letter to say happy with results and nothing furher needed. Then last week I get a phone call to say lab has requested another biopsy as there are cell changes  :-\ . What does this mean, I was so taken back I didn’t ask. I have not been put on two week fast track so think that is it’s not urgent. Anyone else had something similar, I’m a bit concerned now. Thank you

Of course R U concerned.  I would ring the Dept and ask for a clearer explanation because they are telling people that every day without thought about how patients may be worried!

I had 'changes' in a non-sinister breast lump at histology so I required more surgery to clean out any cells left behind followed by radiation.  Although what you have been told mayB routine it's best to make a list and ring the Dept or your GP.  Let us know how you get on.

Could it be that the polyp result was inconclusive but the biopsy of the actual womb lining has now shown cell changes? Two separate results?

Not sure, wish had asked at time. Dr did say womb lining was fine and no need to redo camera, so hoping just being extra vigilant and procedure, which I’m fine with. Thanks both

Many of us don't ask at the time, myself included!  As a medical secretary U would think that I had more nonce  ::).
