My doctor says that I have a uterine polyp, and I'd like to find out more about them.

Uterine polyps are small growths in the uterus. They can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Polyps are usually found during a pelvic exam, but they may also be detected by ultrasound. If your doctor thinks you have a polyp, he or she will likely perform a biopsy to determine whether it is cancerous.
