Possible reasons for abnormal uterine bleeding secondary to endometrial polyp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. Douglas Lawson answered

Endometrial polyps: endometrial polyps are friable ( which means they bleed very easy) If you see one sticking out the cervix and touch it with a swab they begin bleeding very quickly
