A member asked:

Can a polyp keep endometrial lining from shedding? u/s showed normal ovaries but endo stripe of 19. biopsy only showed polyp. bled 3 mo now/bad cramps

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It may be time for a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) or sono HSG to ensure there isn't another process occurring. There are many causes of uterine outlet obstruction.....some more serious than others. Begin with a pap smear, See your ob/gyn of course, before doing anything else.
