Scared of cancer due to endometrial polyp
Posted , 2 users are following.
Where do I start....
I'm 33, 34 in a few months and since I had the covid vaccine my periods have been up and down. They disappeared and then returned and became lighter, but when I get stressed they either disappear or just last for a long time.
Last January I went through a ton of stress and my period lasted 18 days.
This January I again went through a ton of stress as I nearly lost my mum and I've been bleeding/spotting since.
I had a transabdominal ultrasound done, not transvaginal and they found what they believe to be an endometrial polyp.
I've now been put on a 2 week pathway to check for endometrial cancer. I haven't stopped crying since. I have severe health anxiety and to say I'm terrified is an understatement.
My GP said that this is just precautionary and most polyps are benign, I went and saw a specialist gynecologist and she said in her opinion she would not be alarmed at all and with everything in consideration she personally wouldn't have done a 2 week pathway but said my GP probably done it thinking she was being helpful. The gynecologist really tried assuring me that with my age and such the chances were very low of something sinister.
I feel so scared. I really hoped my hormones would come back a bit unbalanced and that would be the issue but the GP and the gynecologist have said they look fine.
I've posted all my symptoms below I just need to hear some stories of comfort or reassurance right now please.

from what I understand the vast majority of uterine polyps are benign. You have a lot of symptoms of anxiety, which you are probably going through now.
Keep in mind that when we have anxiety, the mind tends to go to the negative thoughts. Those thoughts are not based on reality, but only on fear.
start calming your mind down. And be persistent. if you can a couple of times a day, relax and listen to relaxing calming meditations for overthinking, anxiety, etc..
I will send you a private message.
