Title: gynecologist visit
Post by: am# on October 21, 2017, 07:49:22 PM
Hi i would say been peri for about a year during the year missed 2 periods but then they always come back , i was referred to gynecologist as i'd had some continuous bleeding for about 6 weeks not much just a stain , my periods are heavy for 2 or 3 days , my gp thought it was all hormonal but prefered it was checked out .
The gynecologist gave me a transvaginal ultrasound and then said would do biopsy from uterus as he could see a  mass of mucous , he said he thought it was as my period was due but wanted to check it out , that was tuesday and now i'm abit more worried as my period hasnt come :-\ , i had a clear smear in june ,but he said what he took was much further up .
I have an appointment to go back in december , and the way it works here(i live abroad) if they find anything in biopsy they call you to go back earlier.
Has anyone had anything similar , i'm on not hrt or anything but he did prescribe me something to take if my period is heavy.
xx

I think that if the Consultant was at all concerned you would have been given an earlier appt. - maybe ring the Secretary for reassurance?

Thankyou CLKD , my period now came and my gp has assured me if anything important came up in biopsy they would ring me with earlier appointment.

I have also started taking tranexemic acid , i hope for no side effects.
