PCOS diagnosis
Posted: 05-11-08 01:46am

So, I'm just looking for a little support. I was just diagnosed with PCOS, the my doctor wanted to do a biopsy just to be sure that I didn't have any cancerous growths. I'm terrified. I'm a 29 year old grad student, and it would be finals week! Its hard to concentrate on anything except what I'm going to find out.

It is hard to concentrate when you are expecting news from your doctor!

PCOS and cervical abnormalities are two different diagnosis. Have you tested positive for HPV?

I don't know that I've been tested for HPV. No one mentioned it. I don't know how a person gets HPV either, but if its an STD, I'm a virgin.

I do have the PCOS diagnosis. The biopsy was just done on top of that diagnosis.

I misunderstood, I apologize. So it was a uterin biopsy?

I am not very knowledgeable on that, but I do know that waiting is the hardest part of any testing.

Good luck!!
