Question 1

can you tell me how is a urethral polyp healed?

Accepted Answer

Removal: Urethral polyp can usually be removed by trans urethral resection. Performed by a urologist with a cystoscope under general anesthesia. Good Luck

Question 2

whats the percentage of urethral polyps being cancerous?

Accepted Answer

POLYPS: By definition they are benign or at worst pre-cancer. A polypoid form of urothelial cell cancer would be what it is called if it were not benign. There are a few rare other types of cancers of the urethra.

Question 3

69 yearold woman diagnose with urethal polyp  i am on anastrozol tab, 1mg, is this conected ?

Possible: This condition is associated from low estrogen or a treated urethra caruncle therefore occurs commonly in post menopausal woman.Since Anastrozole blocks estrogen this could play a role.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Where is the: polyp?  In general there is some probability that a polyp anywhere might be malignant, more info is needed.

Question 5

can you help me understand my us report? "there is trace free fluid in pelvis. suspected 0.9x0.3cm echogenic nodule identified in endometrial cavity with trace free fluid, likely endometrial polyp versus intracavitary fibroid. neoplasm not excluded."

Accepted Answer

: The ultrasound report identifies a mass consistent with either a fibroid tumor or a polyp  (benign "neoplasms") which may be the reason the ultrasound was ordered, as both may cause bleeding between menstrual events.  See your GYN physician who ordered the ultrasound for guidance.  "Free fluid" in the abdominal cavity is a frequent and essentially normal finding.

Question 6

i had a ct scan with contrast done recently on my abdomen and pelvis. the abdominal wall was unremarkable and no distended bowel loops on the gi tract section of the report. would this ct show abnormalities if there were polyps in the gi tract?

Accepted Answer

: Polyps in the GI tract typically do not show on a CT of the abdomen. These polys are diagnosed with a colonoscopy that a GI doctor would perform. So, if you are concerned about polyps, see a GI doctor and get a colonoscopy. Good luck to you!

Question 7

did a sonography of usg pelvis. results showed 3 fibroids & 1 polyp,  retroverted uterus & calcification of 1 fibroid.diagnosis? hi.sonography of usg pelvis showed: normal bladder, but retroverted uterus(106x73x59mm). endometiral echo seen in midline(10.7

Accepted Answer

You : You haven't indicated what symptoms lead to the ultrasound, but i'm guessing it was abnormal bleeding.  That's a common complication of endometrial polyps, which are benign growths on the lining of the uterus.  They are usually addressed by removal though the vagina.

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors of uterine muscle that can cause bleeding, pain, or pelvic/abdominal fullness.  The fact that one of them has calcium in it means that it's started to regress spontaneously.  Treatment of fibroids depends on a lot of things, including the severity of symptoms, patient age, and plans for future fertility.  Treatment can range from waiting for menopause to doing a hysterectomy.

The polyp may be causing you some bleeding and the fibroids may be causing you some discomfort, but t good news is that the findings suggested by the ultrasound are benign.

Question 8

what causes people to get polyps?

Accepted Answer

Genetics environment: Genetics and to a greater extent environmental issues and personal habits can contribute to polyp formation.

Question 9

do sinus polyps cause symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Depending on the size and the accuracy of the diagnosis, polyps within the sinuses can cause, PND, fullness and pressure in the face and nasal discharge.  If the polyps have grown into the nose, symptoms may include nasal blockage and anosmia (smell and taste disturbance).

Question 10

what is the real cause of endometrial polyps?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal: Polyps are usually an overgrowth of normal tissue.  This on ocassion can degenerate to malignant tissue.  Endometrial polyps are usually found on scrapings of the lining of the uterus or by looking into the uterus with a scope.  Biopsy will tell one if it is of concern or benign.  It has to do the the very fast turnover of the uterine tissue due to monthly menses.
