I had some post-menopausal bleeding and the GP referred me under the two week wait. 15 days later I had an ultrasound where the consultant couldn't find anything of concern, but as she hasn't been able see everything she needed to see, she referred me for hysteroscopy.
If I was willing to have the procedure without anything, I would have been having it at the next appointment, still on a two week wait. But I absolutely refuse to be awake for it, so I have had to be referred to general gyne, for them to arrange the procedure.
The gyne appointment is exactly 15 days after the scan. No doubt insisting on GA means that the hysteroscopy itself will be even more delayed.
If I go private, will it be any faster?
I know that the vast majority of 2ww referrals find nothing of concern. But I cannot forget my colleague, who was having a hysterectomy 6 weeks after reporting an instance of post-menopausal bleeding - cancer had been found.
And please, don't turn this thread into a discussion of how easy or how hideous you found your hysteroscopy. I know. I've read the threads. I'm anxious enough already. I don't need more. I just need it to be soon.
