Hi Ladies
I had some post-menopausal bleeding whilst on holiday a few weeks ago and am just looking for a little reassurance please. It all started with really sore , swollen boobs and feeling a bit snappy just like with PMS then had some dragging pains and finally next day I had a brown discharge and a light bleed lasting about 5 days, it felt exactly like a light period. The problem is I'm 56 and take HRT (Estradot 50 and Urtogestan 100) and haven't had a natural period for 4 years.
Anyway GP referred me for a vaginal ultrasound scan which was carried out within 2weeks of my GP's appointment. Dr said womb lining was 4mm and normal. 2days later had an appointment with Consultant who 'offered' me a further test which I don't know the name of! I just said 'why not!' And he proceeded to draw off womb lining with a narrow, clear tube. Not pleasant and had a lot of cramping pains and another light bleed afterwards, this was sent away for tests. This was 8 days ago and I'm feeling very anxious now. Will they give me the results by letter and does anyone know the name of this procedure and how long will I wait for the results?
