Brief Answer:
a week
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Usually the bleeding and cramps should resolve in a weeks time.
It is normal to have these symptoms after a polypectomy.
Do not worry.
You should get the histopathology report of the polyp.
If you have excessive bleeding during periods or endometrial thickening on ultrasound you should go for a hysteroscopy 3 months from now.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
