All biopsies negativ: That's great news to be celebrated! Do you have a family history of breast or uterine cancer? Are you BRCA positive? Have you had mammograms or colonoscopies done? Why are you petrified? Speak to your doc about your fears and address them. You seem to be partly doing that already.

Small: With all the negative biopsies you had, the odds of you having cancer are very small. As you approach menopause, your cycles will become irregular but you can be rest assured that afterall the negative biopsies, your chances of malignancy are small. Sometimes endometrial cells are incidentally identified on Pap smears.

Heavy bleeding. Endometrial biopsy showed polyp. Hysteroscopy/polypectomy done and Dr says my uterus lining looks irregular and has some scarring. Never had a D&C. What does irregular mean? Could this be hormonal? Im 45 and FSH is 66
Does discharge from uterine polyp appear when wiping or can it only be on panty liner? Seeing occasional yellowish tan spots, but never on toilet paper when wiping? Had D&C/Hysteroscopy year, and just had my yearly paps/check up and all was good.
