Question : I've been having vaginal bleeding and I got Pap smear and an ultrasound. The pap came back negative but the ultrasound came back with thickening of the uterus. They will be doing a biopsy I was suppose to do this week but I got a boil at upper thigh and went to urgent care. They looked and then I got SMZ/TMP taking one in the morning and one at night. I couldn't do the biopsy until I heal up from the boil. I think the boil part is okay . But
Because when I was passing urine I wiped and no XXXXXXX light blood but this time I look into the bowl it looked like a clump of stuff. It was pinkish in nature. I will be doing the biopsy on the 18th of XXXXXXX should I tried to get it sooner? Thanks

Brief Answer:
In case of continues bleeding, consider getting biopsy sooner.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
The commonest cause of Post menopausal bleeding is a condition known as atrophy. Another common cause of PMB is development of a polyp on the cervix or inside the uterus (womb).
Treatment depends on the cause. I would have suggested you to see for one to two days and if bleeding occurs, would have asked you to get the biopsy sooner if possible, as you need at least two days to get the biopsy report.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
