During a routine smear (which has come back clear - no issues) the practice nurse identified an ‘enormous polyp’ on my cervix. I have been referred for an appointment to have it removed and have been told there’s quite a wait.
It bled for the first time for a few days after the smear, but has not bled since.
Prior to this, I’ve had unexplained constipation for several months. More recently, I’ve also started needing to pee at night, have developed low back ache and a general ‘heavy’ feeling of discomfort, combined with what feels like sporadic period pain.
Dr Google says this sounds more like a fibroid than a polyp so my questions are - has anyone had similar symptoms to mine with a polyp and has anyone found out a suspected polyp is actually a fibroid?
Any advice appreciated. I am early 50s.
