Polyp chat

Hello... Im beside myself with worry and suffer with really bad Panic attacks and Anxiety.

I have been having pelvic aching and weeing more often so I went to the doctors and they did a urine sample which showed white blood cells and blood... I was spotting at the time. 

I have a grape size polyp so because of my anxiety my doctor took it off .

Now in my head , I have something more sinister.

I hadxa,smear Aug 2019 and an Ultrasound Nov 2020 in which was Normal.

I cry everyday,  sleep all the time as I can't cope with the wait for results.

  • Hello Joshua09, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. It's normal to be worried and I hope you won't have to wait too long for your results. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be.  It's good that this polyp was taken off and there are so many possible explanations as to what it could be so don't assume it is something sinister. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
