@bocabuckeye First I'd like to share that I'm really relieved that you did not listen to your first doctor who told you to return in a year if you still had symptoms. This is such an odd recommendation that I haven't heard before. I have read and been told by more than one medical provider that whenever there is postmenopausal bleeding it should be taken seriously and investigated. Not all postmenopausal bleeding turns out to be cancer but this is an early symptom and why take the chance?

What you describe as postmenopausal bleeding, pain and cramps in the pelvic area is what I experienced prior to my D&C and hysteroscopy. All of those symptoms went away after the D&C. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer (adenocarcinoma FIGO Grade 1). Within a week after diagnosis I had a radical hysterectomy and the cancer was staged as 1a.

I am so glad my gynecologist listened to me and followed through with all the imaging (ultrasound in my case, no MRI), and hysteroscopy and D&C. I did not have bloating or pain anywhere else prior to my diagnosis.

Since your procedure is tomorrow please tell your gynecologist about these new symptoms that have developed. I hope your findings are benign and that there is a rational explanation for the new symptoms.
