What Is The Treatment For A Polyp In The Uterus?

I had a pap test come back with abnormal cells and my gyn also found a polyp which originally he thought was on the cervix. I went for a recheck and he checked my uterine lining which is 10 ml thick. Now he thinks the polyp is probably from the uterus which prolapsed to the cervix. I am going to see a gyn/onocologist

Hello and welcome,

Polyps in the cervix and uterus are very common. Irrespective of where they come from, the treatment is removal.

As of now, it is best to get a Dilatation and Curettage [ D and C ] or a hysteroscopy for removal of polyp as well as a curetting of the endometrium [ uterine lining]. The samples then will be sent for examination under a microscope and further management will be decided upon the report.

So do not worry. They are common and easily removed and treated.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
