Uterine polyps are benign growths of the endometrium, the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus. While most are harmless, in some cases they can cause symptoms or affect fertility, making their removal necessary.
WHAT ARE UTERINE POLYPODS?
Polyps are formed due to excessive growth of cells in the endometrium and can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. They can be single or multiple and occur most often in women over 40, but can also affect younger women.
SYMPTOMS THAT MAY CAUSE
- Irregular or heavy menstruation
- Bleeding between periods
- Pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen
- Difficulty conceiving or repeated miscarriages
In some cases, polyps may remain asymptomatic and be detected incidentally on a gynecological ultrasound.
WHEN IS POLYPOD REMOVAL NECESSARY?
Removal of the polyp is considered necessary when:
- Causes heavy or prolonged bleeding.
- It affects fertility.
- Atypical or malignant cells are suspected.
The safest and most effective removal method is hysteroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure that allows for precise removal of the polyp without incisions.
CONCLUSION
Most polyps are benign, but monitoring and early detection are important. If you are experiencing unexplained bleeding or difficulty conceiving, contact your gynecologist for a personalized evaluation.
