Hello and thanks for posting

I’m sorry to read about your situation and can appreciate how stressful it is waiting to find out more.

Womb polyps are very common especially in post menopausal women and in the majority of cases are usually harmless . But they can cause unpleasant sometimes such as heavy bleeding, clots and a thicker womb lining.

A general anaesthetic is often used simply to make removal easier and more comfortable for you.

I know it's easier said than done but try and take it one step at a time until you know more. Some people find talking it through with family and friends and keeping busy can sometimes help. Also try and focus on what you can control right now by eating a good diet, getting enough rest, and doing some gentle activities that you enjoy.

I hope you know more soon.. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
