Well I posted a little whole ago now, my mum had been experiencing some light-medium bleeding and she had finished her periods 11 and half months previously - leaving her on the border line of post menopausal.
I've read on the internet that ANY post menopausal bleeding is abnormal & should be investigated.
She went to the GP & he referred her for an emergency appointment at the hospital which turned out to be 2 weeks later but an investigation.
She went there on monday, they did an ultrasound, found nothing there except a cyst on her ovary that had bled into itself apparently.
Then she went for the other tests which involved a scrape inside her womb/uterus area - the doctor performing it said her womb lining was quite thin & he took a few samples of biopsy "to be on the safe side". Which is worrying.
I'm not sure what to do now, my poor mum is patiently waiting for the results, but the wait is killing me, I've never been a good one for this kind of thing.
When do biopsy results normally come back in?
The doctors & nurses at the hospital didn't seem too worried about the whole thing but you just never know do you? Other than that she's in pretty good health, walks alot, always keeping busy & is currently going through the hot flushes and insomnia of the menopause but it doesnt seem to slow her down, if something bad was in there surely she would feel worse?
Also one more thing to add, when she had the light bleeding she said it felt like a period, because her breasts became quite tender and sore but now that the bleeding has gone (stopped after 3 days) she doesn't have that feeling anymore. If it was the dreaded C word she would have just bled surely?
Hoping someone can help :( I'm going out of my mind with worry, if its not myself, I'm worrying about someone else!
