Small amount of retained tissue after ERPC

[Mung]

I went to my EPU today after being given the advice to contact them on here. I have no 'symptoms' of having retained tissue other than the bleeding, so I thought they'd just check me out and send me away. Anyway, they took swabs and then did a scan and found a thick womb lining and a very small amount of tissue with a blood flow to it. So, basically, they have given me another appointment in a week, at my request and then I will probably have to have another ERPC.

Dpes anyone have any experience of this? Do I have any chance of this bit of tissue coming out on its own? I am sick of the bleeding, so a huge part of me just wants it all over with, but it seems crazy to have a general anesthetic just for this. The doctor was very reluctant to wait any longer than a week due to risk of infection.

I am so fed up of all this now

Check with your insurance provider - you may not need a GP referral (might be worth investigating who to go and see first).

Its all getting more complicated and I am slowly losing faith in what I always thought was a good health system. I had a call tonight from the ward sister and she seemed to not know what I was going in for... Why can't they just improve their communication a little?

I thought I might take the DCs with me if I go next week, that way they might squeeze me in more rapidly once they have 2 children running around the place

Good luck Mung,hope it gets sorted ASAP.
