Cervix Polyp?

[volcomkitty]

I wasn't sure whether to post here or in Body after baby issues...anyways...

So I finally made myself go in and have my overdue papsmear today (yay) and my doctor informed me that I have what looks like a polyp on my cervix. She said it's nothing really to be concerned about and didn't say much more. But it's something that's not meant to be there, so it's got my brain ticking over.

Has anyone had experience with one? Of course I've been googling, but the info was a bit vague in a sense, and I'd much rather hear from a 'real person'.

Dr also confirmed that yes, I DO have a slightly prolapsed cervix as well. All in all, it was a great appointment!

I was told I had one too, ages ago. I could feel something so went and got it checked out.. My GP said that they could be left alone, but I have heard something about keeping an eye on them in case they turn cancerous, so I went to a gyno to get it off, and turned out it's not a polyp, but a tear because i laboured with a cervical stitch..

Anyway, I would get it off it mine was indeed a polyp if that answers your question lol. I'm sure it's an extremely minor procedure with the gyno.

I had a polyp removed at the gyno about 15 years ago and it just felt like period pain afterwards. I have another one now which isn't a problem but my GP has a squizz at my pap smears. I used to always spot bleed and it was because of the polyp when it was touched (during a pap ) or after 'relations'.

Back in 2009 I had a horrendous time with what I thought was AF - one time the bleeding went for 9 wks Anyhoo, I saw the gynae & he said I had multiple cervical polyps, that were causing the bleeding, so I had a hysteroscopy where he removed them, and i've never had a problem since.

Thanks for your replies ladies. Assuming that it is one, I think I'd rather get it removed, just for my own peace of mind.
