Wait for results: The biopsy will tell you and your doctor can advise you.

Postmenopausal bleed: Post menopausal bleeding can lead to cancer in 10% of cases. You have to wait for the biopsy results to get a final answer. My advise is not to get anxious until you get final results. Even when it comes to the worse nowadays in most cases when it is detected on time there is treatment for this. F/u with your gyn provider as recommended.

I recently had a uterine biopsy done, and my results were inconclusive. I am a post menopausal woman, and my results did say something about "suggestive pyometra". Is this cause for concern? Also, I think I may have polyps. Please advise, and thanks?
