Period/bleed after 13 months of no period

after 13 months with no periods I had a sudden bleed for four days. I spoke with the dr and they sent me for a us transvaginal scan.

the scan showed a small cystic area, part anechoic fluid,!part low levels echoes. Appearances may represent a right dermis cyst or a haemorrhagic cyst. Other pathology also cannot be confidently excluded. Suggest further investigations. No obvious decal fluid noted.

when the local dr called me he said he doesn’t feel there is any issue. When I said about the further investigations he said no he has no concerns. At which I then pushed to get him to give me a referral to a gynaecologist which he reluctantly did.

I understand that cysts can just lie there dormant and you can live happily with them, but it’d be nice to confirm it’s definitely a cyst… or am I being a drama queen??

Always better to be safe and get things checked fully, for your peace of mind if nothing else x

I would insist on getting it checked out. Can't be too careful x

Thank you for replying.sorry I didn’t explain myself properly, when I said about the further investigations he said well I can put you on referral for a gynaecologist…. Haven’t seen that yet…

Chase the surgery, reception will be able to see if the referral has been made.

Or, if you have funds, go and see the gynae privately. They will be able to access the scan.
