Two-week pathway for polyps

[TotallyTasteless]

I have anaemia and uterine polyps. My GP said she was referring me to gynaecology. I said nervously “it won’t be urgent will it?” She said it would be, otherwise it takes forever. Seeing the referral letter, it doesn’t have 2WW on it so it isn’t an urgent referral.
Was she wrong to think she could make it urgent or should it be urgent?

Theyve done away with 2ww now

Around here gynae urgent is within 18 weeks

Mine is this month

My GP told me all gynae related matters get triaged anyway on being received to the hospital.

I'm allowed to chase Gynae dept on the 16th October for an appointment if I have not heard by then, referral made June this year. Initially looking at the hospital website/league table it was 12 months wait but the GP said more 6 months.

My GP put in the referral I was having heavy, erratic periods when only one of these facts is true so I guess you could check they've not made a mistake? I'm sure I have heard of some women on the two week referral for my problem.

2 ww system ended august this year .

You get seen within 28 - 30 days now if urgent / if could be bad bad

If some abnormal results at drs first

New system

Thanks for all these replies. They were about five weeks after my post and somehow I missed them.

Have u been seen now

Yes. I had a CT scan to rule out anything gastrointestinal and it appeared to show a tumour on my ovary so I got an urgent referral to gynaecology and had an MRI scan. That showed it was actually a pendunculated fibroid. I then saw a gynaecologist who removed the polyps.
So I bypassed the gynaecology queue or at least came in by a different route.

Amazing
Glad it got sorted
