Yes: Cervical polyps can easily be removed in the office in most instances. Birth control should have no effect on polyps of the cervix.

Question 2

what causes 2 periods in a month? i've read online that hormone, polyps, etc can be causes. each period lasts 3-4d like normal.i don't take birth control

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Most common is hormones not working properly please see your gyn for a workup and treatment as you should only be having 1 period a month.

Question 3

can uterine polyps be treated with birth control pills?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: There is at least a theoretic rationale for this but no data.  Whether this is even worth considering depends on the certainty of the diagnosis, the size, and the associated symptoms.

Question 4

how to stop vagina polyp bleeding? birth control pills?

Accepted Answer

If you have a polyp: That is bleeding get it medically checked. Oral contraceptives are not the answer.

Question 5

in general...how likely is it for polyps to reoccur after polypectomy and a d&c??? on syeda birth control now for management of pcos. should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Polyp recurrence: Both endometrial and cervical polyps can recur. Endometrial polyps can recur more frequently in untreated PCOS patients because of the irregular anovulatory periods with excess estrogen secretion.  Endometrial polyps can progress to endometrial cancer if untreated.

Question 6

i have had abnormal monthly bleeding for 3+ yrs. i tried birth control pills, had a hysterosonogram which showed polyps and fibroid. i had a dnc and the abnormal bleeding stopped for 3mths, then it came back. md stumped. ideas?

Accepted Answer

Dysmenorrhea: At age 30, the likely causes are the cervical polyp and/or the fibroid. These tend to bleed and heal and bleed again. If the D&C debrided all the tissue, then it is a mystery. Possibly, the procedure left behind some abnormal remnants of the fibroid, and may need to be re debrided. Sometimes, ocs are prescribed for individuals who continue to have abnormal periods. If that doesn't work, D&C again?

Question 7

hello, i have endometrial polyp and my doctor told me to take contraception with ethinylestradiol/drospirenone 0, 03 mg/3 mg for 1 year, will that help?

Accepted Answer

in my opinion no: In the US if you have an endometrial polyp it should b removed by doing a simple in office hysteroscopy, sometimes u may need an in office Myosure to remove it , BC pills will not make an endometrial polyp go away, u want it removed because it can cause abnormal bleeding, infertility and possible misc if u do conceive.

Question 8

does birth control help to thin endometrial lining?

Accepted Answer

YES: YES. Oral contraceptives can regulate your menstrual cycle.

Question 9

my period slowed down then picked up again, can endometrial tissue block blood flow during a period? will this be temporary and should it pick up again? my periods have done this before but been awhile. im on birth control too?

Accepted Answer

Variation: What you described seems to fall within the normal variation of flow in a period. As long as you are not bleeding excessively, you may watch and wait.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
 Wish you good health!

Accepted Answer

Details: It sounds as though you have had a thorough evaluation by a doctor. The doctor with all the details is the best one to ask. Birth control pills are commonly used in this circumstance to provide cycle regulation.
