Your ultrasound pelvis showed 1.2cm focus in ednometrial cavity. May represent a polyp. Advise gynaecology review.
The annual medical health screening was postponed till Dec due to busy schedules and contemplation to change to another hospital. Even with a schedule fixed for 18th Dec, I had almost wanted to change the date due to busy scheds yet again. Nevertheless, an inter-menstrual bleeding “told” me to proceed with the appointment which I am glad I did.
Health screening review day:
As above, I had a scare when the doctor told me that. Polyp? Need to consult a gynae? Which gynae? When should I go? All these questions came to my mind. But with a reference to a colleague’s case recently, I decided not consult any doctors immediately for fear in making any rash decisions. After all, I wasn’t feeling unwell prior to the review.
Seeking the gynae’s opinion:
Got a gynae contact – Dr Chua from a trusted colleague and made my appointment a week after. As the scan done from the health screening wasn’t too clear, I had to sched another appointment with the gynae – specifically 12 days after my menses.
Actual scan day:
Doc Chua did a scan again today and didn’t see any polyp from the scan – good news! However, sensing that I was still concerned about it, she suggested that I jot down my menses cycle for the next 12 months. She also mentioned that polyp is usually 99.9% benign and if I don’t feel any serious discomfort or is affected by the inter-menstrual bleeding, all should be fine!
After this whole scare, I realized that one should always “listen” to your body. If it’s sending out signs, even the slightest, we shouldn’t turn a blind out to it. As the saying goes – always better to be safe than sorry….
When writing this post now, I realized there’s a main word which I missed out during the whole time – MAY represent a polyp.
