Post menopause - polyp removal
Posted , 7 users are following.
I've been post menopausal for about 5 years now. After going to GP with watery discharge (clear) and sometimes mixed with blood, I have a large polyp to be removed next week. My transvaginal scan showed 2 large fibroids and ovaries couldn't be seen. Don't know what to make of this, anyone else had anything similar?

I have a polyp which needs removing, having it done in a couple of weeks. Polyps can cause post-menopausal bleeding, and are usually nothing to worry too much about, but it is best to have them removed. Fibroids are unpleasant but are not dangerous at all. My sister had a huge one - the size of a grapefruit - and had to have a hysterectomy.
Its good youre having the polyp removed. Are you having the fibroids removed as well?

This may just be a guess, but my first thought is that your ovaries have completely atrophied 5 years past menopause. Meaning that they have just shriveled up. They've shrunk, so to speak, and that's why they aren't visable on the scan.

yes I have just one polyp. Now its about 10 days till I get it removed. I had almost forgotten about it - other family issues distracting me. Perhaps thats a good thing!
