How Likely Are Uterine Polyps To Recur?

default
Posted on Fri, 16 Jan 2015
Question: How likely are uterine polyps to recur? I am 48, non smoker, bp 118/78, bmi 25-26,
I had a benign 1 sesame seed sized uterine polyp removed in July 2013. I am going for a transvag ultrasound on Tuesday because I spotted (the size of a quarter) in November.

I know only the test will show for sure, but statistically is it likely I could have a new uterine polyp in 16 months?
