Clinical information

• Endometrial polyps are benign growths that develop in the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium). They are considered among noninflammatory disorders of uterus and may coexist with benign endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial hyperplasia.
• Common symptoms include abnormal uterine bleeding, such as heavy menstrual periods, irregular bleeding between periods (irregular menstruation), and post-menopausal bleeding. Some women may be asymptomatic and only detected through uterine and adnexa procedures.
• Risk factors for endometrial polyps include age (more common in women during their menstrual cycle years), obesity, hormonal imbalances, and tamoxifen use.
• Diagnosis often involves a pelvic examination, transvaginal ultrasound, hysteroscopy, or endometrial biopsy to confirm the presence of polyps. Findings may sometimes show endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia or even early signs of endometrial cancer.
• The exact cause of endometrial polyps is not fully understood, but hormonal imbalances and chronic inflammatory diseases may play a role.
• Treatment options include hysteroscopic polypectomy (procedures for non malignancy), hormone therapy, or, in some cases, surgery. Treatment choice depends on the size, number, and symptoms associated with the polyps.
• While endometrial polyps are usually non-cancerous, they can cause fertility issues and may be associated with a slightly increased risk of endometrial cancer in some cases.
• Patients with endometrial polyps may need regular follow-ups to monitor their condition and ensure that new polyps do not develop. Occasionally, polyps may affect nearby structures such as the left fallopian tube or cause fallopian tube torsion.
• Most endometrial polyps are benign, and the prognosis is generally good after appropriate treatment. However, recurrence of polyps is possible.
• There is no guaranteed way to prevent endometrial polyps, but managing risk factors such as obesity and hormonal imbalances can help reduce the likelihood of their development.
