I searched polyps/fibroids and found this thread. It was actually very helpful in my questions. But I'm curious if any others have experienced anything like this. We have new members and this thread is 4 years old.
I was just diagnosed (I guess that's what you'd call it) with a polyp (or possibly a fibroid) and two smaller fibriods. My doctor wants to go in and remove the polyp/fibroid. I guess she wants to do this because I have been having constant, and sometimes severe, bleeding since the end of July. She said it is an out-patient procedure and the recovery time is a couple of days. I do not know the details of the surgery because I have not met with the doctor yet. I was supposed to last week but she got stuck in surgery. I have an appointment on the 26th, but my boyfriend (and myself) think I should not have to wait that long. So my doc left me a message yesterday (kinda surprised since it was Sunday) and said I could go ahead and schedule the surgery and would meet with her the day before to go over details.
Anyway, I guess my main question here is will it really be two days recovery time? And is this painful? I see in the thread I posted above some said it was painful while some said it wasn't. I guess I'm just scared because I've never had any kind of surgery except oral surgery and a cryo procedure on cells due to HPV (that was painful, but not too bad).
Any information would be appreciated.
