That is superb advice, and it's exactly what I've been doing to protect myself in regard to OB-GYNs and postmenopausal bleeding, which 90% of the time has a benign (noncancerous) cause, such as uterine and/or cervical polyps, and 99% of the time, they are completely harmless. Yet doctors try to terrify women into thinking that postmenopausal bleeding is likely due to endometrial cancer, which is the cause of postmenopausal bleeding only 10% of the time. Or even if doctors have determined that uterine and/or cervical polyps are the source of the bleeding, they want to do D&C hysteroscopy, often under general anesthesia. Any surgical procedure carries risk, which often exceeds the risk of doing nothing. Fortunately, I have a Ph.D. in Science and Medical Communication, and I know how to do research!
