A member asked:

I'm 28, premenopausal. periods regular. do get occasional mid cycle bleeding. might have 1cm polyp in lower part of my uterus. what are the chances of it being cancer if i really got a polyp? i probably had it for long time.. at least 4 months.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cancer unlikely: Polyps are almost always benign (not cancer) in woman in their 20s. Best wishes!
