My internist diagnosed a cervical polyp. I have an appointment wtih the gynocologist in a few weeks. Do you know what he will do? Will I first get a biopsy?

I have had cervical polyps before and my Doctor just took them off and yes he did biopsy them, but he took them off in his office, I barely new he had taken them off!!

Thanks for the information. It relieves my fears. Do you think the gynocologist will remove the polyp on the first visit?

My Doctor always just took them off during my pap test Because my polyps were on the outside (as I think most are) it was a pretty simple procedure.

Good luck!!
Let me know how it goes!

The gynocologist removed the polyp on my cervix this morning. It was not painful; he basically twisted it off. I am good to go now!
