Other polyps?: If your dr. Recommends a cervical polyp removal on the or, it is relatively standard to assess the uterine lining with a tissue sampling - to evaluate other abnormalities and possible polyp removal. However, if a pelvic ultrasound and in office endometrial biopsy are normal, and you have no abnormal bleeding and the polyp can be removed in office, key question is - why hospital and gen. Anesth?
