  • Hello and thanks for your post

    Post menopausal bleeding can have a range of different causes and most won't be linked to cancer but the important thing is that this is going to be investigated. You can read more about post menopausal bleeding here.  As well as a thickened uterine lining being a possible cause other things like polyps in the cervix, fibroids or thinning or inflammation in the vagina can also cause bleeding.

    I think you mean that you are waiting now to have a hysteroscopy where they can take a closer look at your uterus and take biopsies. The NHS website has some information on having a hysteroscopy here.

    I can appreciate that it is an anxious time, but it is not possible to presume anything at the moment until more is known. 

    I hope everything turns out to be okay. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
