What Are Chances Of Polyp Being Cancerous?

Hi. I am a 51 year old woman who had a cervical polyp removed approximately 3 months ago. I am still having bleeding after sex so my doctor had a sonogram done and it showed that I still have thickening of the lining. She thinks that the polyp may have grown back, even though it is rare, or it may be something else. What else could it be and if it is the regrowth of the polyp what does that mean? My doctor said that I have precancerous cells, what are the chances that if it is a polyp that it will be cancerous?

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your polyp may be cancerous if it is regrown after surgery. So you should go for biopsy and histopathology examination of that. If you have completed your family and you are ready for surgery then hysterectomy is advisable. It will remove all the worries.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
