Suspected uterine polyp

Hi all, 

I am new here and not had a cancer diagnosis however, I am really worried as I have been referred urgently for a hysterocopy next week for a 2 cm growth in my uterus which was found after a scan. The consultant marked it as USC which I know means urgent suspected cancer as my husband is a consultant surgeon. He’s told me that’s just a fast way to find out but I am nervous he’s playing it down !!   I have been having a bit of irregular bleeding and pelvic pain for a few months . I am so worried as the word cancer fills me with fear after seeing my dad die from it two years ago .

  • Hi there, I think I’m in this boat too. I’ve been bleeding since November and was told last Monday I have 2 small growths in my womb. Although the radiologist said she suspected fibroids my GP is not happy as my bleeding has been going on for so long and I have pelvic pain for 2 months. I am 50 but not menopausal yet. 

    Although im worried I’m trying to stay positive. I will be having another scan in 5 weeks to see if there is any change. 

    I hope all goes well for you x 

  • Hi Everyone

    I am at the other end of this. In April 2018 I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer after a hysteroscooy and biopsy. Just to say I’ve finished treatment and having regular check ups now. I know how much I worried before my diagnosis, waiting for appointments  and results. It’s only natural and to say don’t do it is like asking someone not to breath. However time does pass and trying to keep busy and doing things you enjoy can help. If not come here and someone will always listen and support. People on here kept me sane. If any of you ladies would like to ask me more, please feel free to post  here or send me a friend request.

    it is true that if cancer is diagnosed early prognosis is good. There is a good rate of success for treatment for womb cancer if caught early. Hoping everyone’s news is good and sending a virtual squeeze from my hand to yours.

  • Dear Sundial, I am so happy to hear you are at the other end of this journey and I’m glad you are on the mend.  Thank you for your kind offer to chat to us.  I hope I am not just over reacting but feel ignored by the gynaecologist. I am thank my GP is supportive and I am grateful for this group and people like you

  • Hi,

    ive been bleeding since December. After sex I bleed like I’d been cut open. It has hurt during intercourse for a while.

    i have had two scans and was told that my endometrium womb lining was thick when they re scanned it was thicker. 23mm and I’m on my period so I’ve been referred for a camera in my uterus. On the scan they found no lumps. They have said it could be polyps but I’m really worried. I’m 32 never had children but I’m very worried. I have polysytic ovaries. I’ve had lower back pain and lower tummy pain. 

    What were your symptoms? 

    Thank you 

     

    love to all and hope

  • Hello I'm just going through the same thing first they found a erosion which they treated with silver nitrate, then the same week I had a scan and now seen a 10mm polyp, and waiting on getting a camera to look at the polyp and thickening of the womb , worrying my self sick to the point  I'm not eating sleeping !!! Did you find out what yours was ? I'm 37 had 4 children so scared it's cancer ! 

  • Hi Sundial,

    After removal of multiple polyps a few weeks ago I am still awaiting results from biopsy. What symptoms did you have prior to diagnosis please if you don't mind me asking? As i seem to have constant bleeding each month & feel like im in a viscious cycle even after having the polyps removed.

    Its causing so much stress & anxiety for me.  

     

    Thanks

  • Hi there,

    I just wanted to touch base with you because I am really worried. I have been waiting due to covid for longer than my gyno wanted and just wondered o your symptoms during your wait for the removal of the growths and biopsy. I am having terrible pain In my back, belly, and legs especially when on my periods. Very very heavy clots in the bath and constant throughout the first 3 days if not more. The pain in the left side of my pelvis is quite bad. 
     

    I hope you don't mind me asking about what symptoms you had, I feel it would help to know.

     

    I am 35 years old and had cervical dyxlacia which is burning of cancer cells from my cervix 2 years ago before this issue so I'm more concerned than ever now I am going through this. 
     

    The scan showed the growth is about 3cm, they named it a polp.

    Thanks
