Q: the Doctor Said "biopsy" - Anyone Had a Uterine Bi

I have been having problems with irregular periods since dec. Last month my period ran from feb 2 - feb 27. My family doctor did a pelvic exam and ordered an ultra sound which I had about two weeks ago.

My doctor then called me last week to tell me that I have a cyst on my right ovary and a small fibroid inside my uterus, nothing to worry about but I should go see a gynocologist for monitoring of them.

Today I went to see a gynocologist. The gynocologist said she doesn't think I have a cyst, in fact she isn't sure what it is. She said I have a growth thats about 3.5 cm with a stalk that is either attached to my uterus and laying against my right ovary or its attached to the ovary and is just laying against the uterus. Since she isn't sure what the growth is, she wants me in for a biopsy on monday.

My mother died from breast cancer and the thought that whatever it is thats there could be cancerous just scares the beejeebies out of me!

I'm praying that whatever it is, its not cancerous and can be treated pretty easily (like meds and not surgery).

Anyone here been thru this type of thing and what were the results?

Hi,

i just had a biopsy about 2 weeks ago because of irregular paps. The biopsy is really nothing to be scared of. You may feel a little pressure on your female parts. It's nothing that hurts. :wink: (((don't worry!!))) I also have a question too-- I was just told that from my results of the biopsy I have severe cancer cells in my cervix. The doctor can perform a colposcopy and hope that the cancer cells do not return or he can do a hystorectomy on me. I am worried about the side effects of the hysto. I am 25 have 3 wonderful children and have the tubes tide. I feel that my family is complete. Does anyone have any input on this?

I was unable to get the biopsy done. My cervix would not open. The doctor wanted to know if there was any remote chance I was pregnant. He said my body is acting like its pregnant.

I just had an ultra sound three weeks ago and it didn't show any pregnancy plus my bf is fixed. So no chance at all.

He said the next step is to do a d and c, he needs to put me under anthesia and treat me like I am getting an abortion. Geeze I sound like fatfamily!

I have my uterus, etc but I do not have any babies in me and yet my body is acting like I do. Go figure that one out!
