What are exactly Cervical polyps?!
Question: Hi...well after no period since December of last year, and after 2 blood tests, 2 home tests, 2 urine tests (doctor's office as well as the blood tests) The doctor then sent me to make me a pelvic ultrasound and well they made the ultrasound then the doctor asked me if I was trying to have a baby or If I wanted a baby, and also asked me If I was sexually active so I said I didn't want a baby now, and yes I was sexually active, but the question about the baby scared me, why did he ask that? Anyways, after those questions they inserted something inside to check the cervix I think and it kinda hurt, and I asked so many times if there was something wrong because they looked suddenly so serious, but they didn't tell me anything! Then they told me that my doctor was going to call me in a few days to tell me the results, but while I was putting my pants on I heard one of the nurses say "how do you you spell polyps" (or something like that)...Can my lack of periods be related to polyps?

Yes it is possible that they are the reason you're not regular. My sister has the same condition and they had to surgically remove hers.Cervical Polyp is a projectile growth originating which that start on the surface of the cervix or endocervical canal. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) and is often called the neck of the womb. Cervical polyp can be associated with Chronic inflammation, increase estrogen levels that the body does not respond well with, or local congestion of cervical blood vessles. Cervical polyps are small, soft, growths that protrude from the mouth of the cervix. Cervical Polyp are very common. They occur most often during pregnancy. Women of any age may have cervical polyps. A polyp that arises from the glandular epithelium of the cervix.Cervcal polyps is very common in the ages of 20 and over who had children. It is fairly common to find one single polyp and in some cases 2 more are found. Large polyps often produce symptoms. When symptoms are present, the most common symptoms are:
Bleeding between periods.
Abnormal, heavy bleeding during your menstrual cycle.
Bleeding after menopause.
Discharge, which can be foul-smelling if there is an infection.
Abnormally heavy periods ( menorrhagia ).
White or yellow mucous discharge (leukorrhea).
Between menstrual periods.
After menopause.
After douching.
Cervial Polyp Disease are not related to transmitted diseases but are very rarely related to cancer. Cervical polyps are non-cancerous which can block the cervix and cause problems getting pregnant. The cause of cervical polyps is not well understood, but they are associated with inflammation of the cervix. Only a single polyp is present in most cases, but sometimes two or three are found. They are rare in females who have not started menstruating. They can also result from long-term (chronic) inflammation, an abnormal response to an increase in estrogen levels, or congestion of blood vessels in the cervical canal, the causes of Cervical polyp are :
A hormonal imbalance during adolescence or menopause is the most common cause of heavy menstrual bleeding.
Uterine fibroid tumors are another very common cause of excessive menstruation.
Cervical polyps are small, fragile growths that begin in either the mucosal surface of the cervix, or the endocervical canal and protrude through the opening of the cervix.
Endometrial polyps are typically non-cancerous, growths that protrude from the lining of the uterus.
Cervical polyps need to be removed which are surgery best traetment options. Polyps can be removed during a simple, outpatient procedure, the main treatment are below :
Removal of the polyp. It is done as an outpatient procedure.
electrocautery or laser vaporization.
Antibiotic therapy is usually prescribed because many polyps are infected.
Most cervical polyps are benign, the excised tissue is usually sent to a pathologist for microscopic examination (some cervical cancers may have appeared as a polyp )
He or she may put a type of paste on the cervix to control any bleeding.
Removal of the polyp's base is done by electrocautery or with a laser.
Large polyps and polyp stems that are very broad usually need to be removed in an operating room using local, regional or general anesthesia
Sorry i haven't been in your situation but found this info!!
A polyp is a growth, usually a benign one, which protrudes from any mucus membrane in the body.
Your polyp emerges from your cervix, the neck of the womb, but they are also to be found in the nose (nasal polyp) and sinuses, the ear, the stomach or the as polyps in the colon.
At the cervix they are almost always benign, whether they come from the cervix or from the lining of the uterus itself, and either can sometimes cause bleeding after intercourse.
The good news is that they can be easily removed by your doctor, sometimes even by your GP if the polyp is small and entirely visible.
Other polyps, especially those within the womb will need to be removed surgically under a general anaesthetic, but the tissue is usually sent away for microscopic analysis just to rule out any tiny chance of malignancy.
Good luck and don't worry! Wait for your results...best wishes
