<\/p>\nEndometrial polyps are among the most common disorders of the female reproductive system, seen at various ages\u2014particularly during reproductive years and after menopause. They occur when the uterine lining (endometrium) grows excessively and abnormally, forming a soft protruding mass inside the uterine cavity.<\/p>\n
Although most polyps are benign, in some cases they may cause problems such as infertility, abnormal bleeding, or\u2014rarely\u2014develop precancerous changes. The important point is that many women may live with this condition for years without noticing any clear symptoms.<\/p>\n
Sometimes the only sign is mild spotting or slightly irregular periods; however, even this small symptom can indicate a treatable polyp that can be easily removed through a simple procedure.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An endometrial polyp is a soft, usually noncancerous growth that arises from the lining of the uterus. Its size can range from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Some women have only one polyp, while others may develop several at once.<\/p>\n
Polyps are generally round or oval and may attach to the uterine wall through a narrow stalk or a broad base. In some cases, they grow large enough to extend through the cervix and become visible during a physical examination\u2014such cases often require prompt removal.<\/p>\n

Although endometrial polyps can develop at any age, certain conditions increase the likelihood:<\/p>\n
Many polyps cause no symptoms and are often discovered incidentally during routine ultrasound or infertility evaluation. When symptoms do occur, they may include:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Accurate diagnosis is typically achieved through a combination of imaging and direct visualization techniques:<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 A special probe is used to assess the thickness and contour of the endometrium. This is the first and simplest diagnostic step.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 A sterile saline solution is infused into the uterus to separate the walls, allowing clearer visualization of polyps.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 A thin, camera-equipped instrument is inserted into the uterus, allowing the doctor to see the polyp directly. This method is both diagnostic and therapeutic.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 In cases suspicious for malignancy, a tissue sample is taken for microscopic examination.<\/p>\n

– Regular monitoring without immediate intervention<\/p>\n
– Use of progesterone therapy or hormonal IUD<\/a>s to control symptoms<\/p>\n In most cases, no. However, about 5%\u2014especially in postmenopausal women or those with a family history of uterine cancer\u2014may show precancerous changes. Even benign polyps can cause chronic bleeding, anemia, or infertility.<\/p>\n Case 1 \u2013 Postmenopausal Bleeding<\/strong><\/p>\n A 54-year-old woman presented with spotting three years after menopause. Ultrasound revealed thickened endometrium. Hysteroscopy was performed, and a 1.5 cm polyp was removed. Pathology was benign, and bleeding resolved.<\/p>\n Case 2 \u2013 Long-Term Infertility<\/strong><\/p>\n A 32-year-old woman with two years of infertility and no other symptoms underwent SIS, revealing a 1 cm polyp near the implantation site. After removal, she conceived within three months.<\/p>\n Case 3 \u2013 Heavy Menstrual Bleeding<\/strong><\/p>\n A 40-year-old woman reported heavy periods and anemia. Two polyps were identified and removed via hysteroscopy. Her bleeding normalized afterward.<\/p>\n Case 4 \u2013 Protruding Cervical Polyp<\/strong><\/p>\n A 38-year-old woman complained of a foreign body sensation after intercourse. Examination revealed a pedunculated polyp protruding through the cervix, which was removed in the clinic. Symptoms resolved immediately.<\/p>\n Endometrial polyps are common but treatable. Early diagnosis, proper treatment choice, and appropriate postoperative care help preserve uterine and reproductive health. Any abnormal bleeding should always be taken seriously.<\/p>\nDefinitive Treatment:<\/h3>\n
