Answers:
When it is polypoid or sub mucous fibroid intermenstural bleeding occurs.If the polypus is large the bleeding is profuse and almost continuous. If it is infected the discharge may be with pus and with offensive smell. Red is fresh bleeding and the brown is late bleeding. Since you have already being diagnosed as having fibroid you need not worry, other wise we have to think of possibility of co-incident uterine cancer. Better to have a checkup again.

The spotting probably would be from the fibroid. as for the chances of cancer developing in a fibroid: 0.5% of all fibroids may turn malignant. It is rare in women under 40 years. It is more likely to occur in postmenopausal women - the symptoms being a sudden growth in the size of the fibroid, pain and post-menopausal bleeding. Didnt understand what u said about the comment he made- "lever 3 b4 cancer"? But if you are not satisfied with ur current doc, u could always seek a second opinion. Since you have had an episode of severe bleeding earlier, it goes without saying that it would be best to be safe than sorry. Get the fibroid treated properly- whether with the medications or a surgery like myomectomy/hysterectomy- that only ur doc can tell you.
