I am55 years old and went to the Monday with severe cramping after having a period that lasted over a month. They discovered i have an ovarian cyst and a uterine polyp. They are both over 2 centimeters in size. Can you explain the process on removal?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
In general, masses on the ovary are called cysts while growths on the cervix or uterus tend to be called polyps.
Ovarian cysts are common in women and often do not cause any symptoms at all, however, they sometimes can cause pain or pressure in the pelvic area.
Endometrial polyps are removed to treat the abnormal bleeding but also because of the potential risk of cancer.
Removing a cervical polyp is a relatively simple procedure that can be performed in the office.
Uterine polyps polyps can be removed surgically through a hysteroscopy. A general anesthetic is sometimes required for this procedure. Uterine polyps, once removed, can recur. It’s possible that you might need to undergo treatment.
Hope my answer was helpful,if you have any other question I will be glad to answer,thanks!
