Hello. May I ask why did you have a positive pelvic washing? I’m just curious as this wasn’t offered to me. Thanks

Hi Angierivas1 - I understand that pelvic washing is usually done during a hysterectomy when uterine cancer is diagnosed. They flush the pelvic area with saline to check the fluid for cancer cells. If it came back positive, cancer cells were found.
