polyp in womb!

[purplebee]

I found out yesterday that the persistant pain inside and intermittent bleeding was down to a growth in my womb called a polyp. Ofcourse I googled and found out it is another word for tumor. I have a one-year old and now I am petrified it's cancer. There, I've said it. Has anyone had polyps before? Can anyone reassure me? I'm seeing a gynocologist privately tomorrow as I am so worried.

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but it came up in a search about polyps.

I have three apparently, but although removal has been mentioned, it wasn’t stressed iyswim. My periods are horrible; really heavy and painful. I’m almost 52 and have thought that they’ll stop soon anyway, but they’re still going.

Is removal painful? If you’ve had it done, would you bother at my age?

I’m off work with it (and the accompanying stomach upset I always get)- something I try not to do at all costs, but today I had no choice as I’m completely depleted.

Hi all,
Im new here im 37 with two boys ages 8 and 6. Im looking for a bit of reasurance i guess as iv have been having pain on and off for years in the pelvic area and after a scan (internal and external) was initially fobbed off by the Dr telling me its IBS as nothing showed up.

Following a horiffic time on holiday with extreme pain i decided i needed to get it sorted once and for all so i decided to make a diary of the times it occured and went back showing there was a pattern to it relating to my cycle. I then got referred for another scan and had bloods done for cancer signs and all the other usual bloods (all clear thankfully !!) but i have now had the results of the scans back and it has stated i have possible cyst on ovary, a polyp and fluid filled elongated fallopian tube !. Has anyone else had this at all ?. I was sterilised about 5 years ago so i think that the problem with my tube was caused by the op (adhesions) but im a bit freaked out that its all of these things at once.
I had an idea there may be an op on the cards and i now have to have a camera up "there" and a biopsy. I honestly just want it all taken away rather than the pain and the stress its causing !

all help and experiences are greatfully received :).

the last few periods have not been too heavy either.
i am super scared its something serious... and then im worried about kids :( im reading and most women only get polyps after 40... and when they are menopausal....

Hi there, don’t worry. I’m in the Same situation. I have mid-cycle spotting with mild cramping. It’s been happening for ages. After a few tests it was discovered I have a Uterine or womb polyp. Apparently they are very common or popular, so welcome to the gang. I want children in the next year or 2 as I am now 38. The doctor has said no need to remove as it isn’t near the cervix or Fallopian tube so won’t stop conception. If I struggle after 6 months of trying they may look at removing it. I read they raspberry leaf tea can help to shrink them. Thanks to everyone on this thread - really good to know you’re not doing this alone.
