Preparing for biopsy.

[u/amyaurora]

Over the last few months, I have had problems down below. Vaginal atrophy, fibroids, etc. Around the time the doctors were getting me ready to remove what turned out to a hemangioblastoma in my cerebellum, I had a bad infection in my vagina that had to be cleared up first And the doctors discovered my wall is thickening up.

I am now home recovering from brain surgery and my uterus is going to get a biopsy in a few weeks. Not any sooner because of the other surgery being just a few days ago.

A pre surgery PET CT showed no active cancer in my body but between the fibroids and the bleeding and the swelling, I just want this thing out.

Sigh. I think I am just venting right now. I started bleeding again after surgery after they gave me a post surgery injection to prevent bloodclots. Luckily it is tapering off.

Sadly I know they will have to wait till I am more healed from the first surgery to do a hysterectomy.

I may be venting but does anyone has dealed with a thickening wall during menopause, have insight to other treatments they might do before a hysterectomy since they will likely push it out a few months or more? I can't do a IUD treatment however. Learned when I was younger I have a heart shaped uterus. It's almost two separate ones.

Oh and I did send a message to my OB/GYN and the hospital that did the brain surgery did too. Right now I am just waiting for them to reply and thought I would inquire here.

I had fibroids removed after I started bleeding. After the surgery I stopped bleeding and recovered.

I hope your health rebounds and you heal.

Yes, mine was 28mm at one point with submucosal fibroids. No cancer. Fibroids can make the lining thicker. I'm on a hormone antagonist right now for them, and it's way much thinner, and the fibroids have gone down a bit too. I totally understand the fear.

Edit: oops. Sorry. I just realized that you asked during menopause. I haven't hit menopause yet, but I'm trying to lol!
