I haven't had a polyp but I did have some pre-cancerous cells on my cervix when I was in my 20's. I had my cervix frozen and all my paps have come back normal since then.
(no symptoms—only caught on a pap. You GOTTA get a yearly pap!!!)

If it will stop the bleeding then I think it's worth it. If you're at risk for on-going bleeding in the future then I would do something more permanent....especially if you're going to be without health care.

I know that surgery really upsets you, so I'm pretty sure you wouldn't entertain the thought of a hysterectomy, but that's the decision I made.

I cannot handle these 15-16 day periods. You tolerated it a lot longer than I have. I've only gone through it two months. My surgery is scheduled for June 19th.

Goodbye uterus, goodbye cervix.....I won't miss you one little bit

Wow. That is serious.
Good luck.
I know women who have had hysterectomies.
I've never heard anyone say they regretted it.
I'd be too much of a chicken to go that route.
But if I could just magically make it all disappear, without surgery, I'd do it right now!
