i a morbidly obese and carry a lot of it in my tummy area but i have never had a problem with gyn exams (sorry guys - i promise im going to get that personal lol) - i went to this well respected gyn for only the 2nd time (first time he seemed to have no problem) and he said it was hard to do a good thorough exam so he wants to take a look c and do a biopsy """JUST TO MAKE SURE HE ISN'T MISSING ANYTHING"""  - He would not elaborate any at all about the test other than it might hurt adn when i asked again why they were doing it he said the same thing

Is he a great doc just covering his bases cause i am overweight or i am wondering if he saw something he didn't like - i am nervous now.

thanks for any words and responses

also - he also came out of another room actually complaining about another patient being long winded :(

 hi,
He or she may even want to do a biopsy so that they can examine some tissue from your uterine lining. There are four stages of uterine cancer and it is best if caught in Stage 1. Sometimes these exams and biopsies are harder to do if a person is obese.
The doc will suggest this as a solution in  stage1 of uterine cancer . It is likely that you will go through two treatments at one time to fight uterine cancer. For example, you may have surgery and then your physician will want you to have radiation treatments also just to be on the safe side.

everything but the pap has come back and 3/4 so far are great news - i had a tv ultrasound and she did not see a need to even do a biopsy at all!!!! woot woot - she doesn't think that one will show anything either but still waiting on those results
