: The saline ultrasound usually gives a clear picture and a small amount of blood will not interfere. A negative study is very reassuring. While no study should be considered 100% sensitive, polyps in menstruating women like yourself are relatively common and usually resolve spontaneously.

Age 56. No periods for two years. Just had 1 day of bleeding. Went to Gyn. Transvaginal ultrasound result: Textbook Uterus. Should I have more tests?

A member asked:

I read online that 3D/4D transvaginal US can confirm uterine polyps. This possibly avoids Saline ultrasound or further invasive testing. Is this true?

A member asked:

Does removal of uterine polyp with d&c completely stop bleeding b/w periods?

A member asked:

I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks and d&c early February and the obgyn who did the surgery noted I have arcuate uterus but she couldn't tell how deep the cavity is. Does MRI do a better job evaluating or Saline ultrasound?

A member asked:

Can a uterine polyp shrink or disappear in a month? I'm praying my possible polyp is no longer there at the Saline ultrasound.
