A member asked:

If i had uterine polyp would spotting between periods be all the time or could it be occasionally?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Wayne Ingram answered

Both: If the polyp does not have an epithelium (covering) then bleeding will occur constantly. Most polyps bleed occasionally after tampon insertion/removal or intercourse.

Dr Zimon agreed
