Polyp: From the Journal of OB/Gyn April 2003 509 patients had endometrial polyps and 4 (0.8%) had cancerous polyps on histopathology. Another area to consider is that most endometrial hyperplasia endometrium, polyps or fibroids are secondary to estrogen dominance. Weight change, diet, looking into xenoestrogens in your diet could be all modifiable factors to help the polyp go away.
