What Does The Ultrasound Regarding The Uterus Indicate?

I m a 31 year old female who has had moderately heavy periods since the first onset when I was 12. My new GYN requested I have an abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound which showed a 3cm cyst on my left ovary, and a small, subtle hyperechoic area in the fundal endometrium measuring 8mmx3mmx8mm , which was read by the radiologist as a possible polyp. Six weeks following that I had a follow-up ultrasound in which the ovarian cyst had regressed, but the possible polyp was still persistent - rule out polyp, hyperplasia, or malignancy. Yesterday, I had an endometrial biopsy and am now awaiting results. I m SO worried! My GYN said she just needs to look into it further , which I completely understand and appreciate. Is it likely that if it s just a polyp that it would still be there 6 weeks later? She also said maybe this is just how you are! Meaning what? Maybe my uterus just has a small area of tissue that is more dense than the rest? I m not sure I have 100% faith in her, so any input or potentially putting me a little more at ease would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. In the current scenario, you have to wait until you get the report to plan further management. A polyp can remain as such for several cycles especially if it is long enough, though rare. For a better idea of your uterine cavity, hysteroscopy is preferable, provided you are a suitable candidate. Thus, areas of varied density can be identified, biopsy taken wherever necessary under observation and polyps removed. Endometrial ablation is also thus possible. Hope your query has been clarified. Wish you good health.
