Why am I being forced to have another vaginal ultrasound and uterine biopsy when I just had them in 2024, they were clear and I have no symptoms.
55 and still in perimenopause. Was forced to get a vaginal ultrasound and uterine biopsy in 2024 before my OB would prescribe HRT. Mind you, I had no irregular periods at that point and no symptoms to warrant a biopsy. I did them and of course everything came back fine. I take the HRT. I have a call with a new OB (Kaiser) to get updated refills. I started to have irregular periods, missing a month here and there. I went 5 months without a period and then got another period. All periods are normal, no spotting, no long-time bleeding etc-NORMAL. My doctor is making me get both the ultrasound and biopsy AGAIN just 2 years later. I got a song and dance about how that 1 period could be a sign of cancer. I thought a perimenopause symptom was literally irregular periods with the other mood changes. She gave me a small refill for the estrogen patch and progesterone but is refusing to give me the TRT I have been taking leaving me to stop cold turkey while I wait for them to schedule the damn biopsy. This seems crazy to me. None of my friends have had to get these tests when they had irregular periods during perimenopause and they certainly didn't have to get them in order to get their medication. What gives. Please, any OB/GYN out here help me understand why a healthy 55 yr old with no symptoms outside of peri is being denied medication and forced to do these tests again.
