Ayaan Johnson, a 28-year-old marketing manager,...
Ayaan Johnson, a 28-year-old marketing manager, had been trying to conceive with her husband for over a year. Her cycles were always heavy and painful, but recently she began experiencing light, irregular spotting between periods, which filled her with anxiety. During a pre-conception check-up, her OB-GYN, Dr. Evans, performed a pelvic exam and discovered a small, cherry-red cervical polyp. Dr. Evans explained that while such polyps are almost always benign, it could be contributing to her spotting and potentially interfering with conception. She recommended a simple polypectomy in the office. Ayaan was nervous but hopeful. The procedure was quick; she felt only mild cramping during the application of local anesthetic and the removal. Pathology confirmed it was a benign endocervical polyp. Within a cycle, her spotting stopped. Emotionally, Ayaan moved from a place of fear and frustration about her fertility to one of relief and renewed optimism. Removing the polyp felt like removing a tangible obstacle on her path to motherhood.
