Cervical Polyp

I went for a smear test a week and a half ago and the nurse was unable to do the smear due to a large polyp. I have had an urgent referral and now have my outpatient appointment at gynaecology this week.

 

My letter iust tells me the time of my appointment and where to go. Can anyone tell me what will happen at this appointment? Will the polyp be removed?

I’m really scared at the moment thinking the worst and it might help if I have some idea about what will happen at the appointment.

 

  • Hi, could you give the number on your letter a call and ask them what to expect at your appointment? I had a letter to attend gynae after scans revealed something and I was asked a stack of questions and then had an intenal examination and attempted hysteroscopy but that is to look into the womb area whereas it sounds like your polyp is outside that area.  But I would give them a call and at least put your mind at rest. It's awful though - all the waiting and the unknown.  Hope it all works out for you x
