A member asked:
36 years old and just been diagnosed with an endometrial polyp of 11 x 6 mm. going through surgery in december. is there a risk it can be cancerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely !: Polyps in the uterus are commonly non cancerous. They can be easily removed by outpatient hysteroscopy. The tissue report (pathology) will give you the final diagnosis.
