I have extremely heavy bleeding with my periods since having a hysteroscopy/D+C in March to remove polyps. My periods are much worse than before. I don't have any medical savings left to go see my gynaecologist. What should I do?

Had a hysteroscopy, my gynae said everything looked normal apart from a very small sessile polyp at the entrance to the uterus. Could this have been confused with a cancerous tumour? I dont think it was removed at the time. Endometrialbiopsies taken?

I can only get into see a gynecologist here within 6-12 mths because my situation isn't urgent.(small uterine polyp). My mother(menopausal)just had precancer removed from her uterus and cervix. Does that put me at a higher risk of precancer or cancer?
