All I know...is that during a pap test these were found...and they need to be removed to be tested.

polyps? maybe

Polyps are small, fleshy pieces of tissue, usually benign, but occasionally may contain cancerous areas

i had polyps once and they did a laproscopy and removed them
One day surgery.......in/out

Ya, same here. I was in/out within two hours for the procedure, painless with a good ob/gyn. Then I had to have a pap test done every three months until I had three consecutive tests show normal. Been fine ever since and it's been two years now.

Next time have the doctor write it down for you
and
give you pamphlets about any conditions
the doctor has noted.

That way, you won't be mis-informed.

Knowledge is power!

Keep us posted on the plans for treatment.

Hugs!
