"   Question I had a smear test because I have occasional blood spotting between periods. Six years ago, I had treatment for abnormal cervical cells.  This time the nurse said she could see a polyp in the area where I\u2019d had the treatment six years ago. Although polyps are benign tumours usually, I&amp;#039;m worried it could be more serious.   Answer Polyps are extremely unlikely to be serious. They are \u2018overgrowths\u2019 of normal tissue.  They can cause bleeding however and you&amp;#039;ll probably be advised to have it treated \u2013 the treatment shouldn&amp;#039;t be that much different from the treatment you had for you abnormal cells previously.
