Biopsy Insufficent but polyp found

D&C, Hysteroscopy and Polypectomy was completed end of last week. Report came in my health portal and just says endometrial currettings: Polyp fragment and Background Secretory Endometrium. The doctor told my husband my uterus was riddled with polyps after surgery, he was very surprised and they looked angry. Should there be more to a report? This just seems very generic to me and I haven't learned anything new based on the surgery.

@mmd226 I’m wondering what you mean that « they » looked angry. The doctor? The polyps?

In reference to the report in your portal, did the report come from pathology and was it signed off by a pathologist (doctor)? If yes, then when you talk with your doctor here are the questions to ask:

1. Were the polyps and endometrium « stepped through »? That term, stepped through, means that the tissue was sliced and examined throughout the tissue. My partner is a pathologist and he walked me through the procedures that should be used when tissue is received in the lab for pathology.

2. You are asking that the tissue that was removed be examined, under microscope, beyond the rather cursory look at the surface of the tissue.

When do you see your doctor again?
