Large uterine polyp removed

Hello, I had a large polyp removed today, I was originally referred to hospital as I had very heavy bleeding and was anaemic. Ultrasound showed thicker womb lining which they said is caused by HRT. Biopsy of lining was clear. Had hysteroscope two weeks ago which showed large polyp near cervix which was removed today.

They have said this should stop the bleeding but I wish I'd asked if I'll still bleed because of the thickened lining, also they'll send me results of the tests on the polyp. I'm concerned that there could be something wrong with the polyp even though the lining biopsy was clear. Has anyone had similar experiences? Thank you x

  • Hello Mandalou

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with health problems recently. It's positive news that your biopsy of the uterine lining was clear although I can understand that you may still be concerned whilst waiting for the polyp biopsy results. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for those results. 

    I'm unsure about the question you're asking regarding bleeding. If you have concerns then it would be a good idea to get in touch with your GP or the clinic where you saw the specialist who will be better placed to help answer your query. 

    I hope that you have more positive news soon. 

    Best wishes
