Is An Endometrial Polyp A Serious Concern?
Question: Hi there, I have recently had a scan which shows I have a Endometrial polyp :size 8mm x 7mm x 5mm. Is this serious? Many thanks
Brief Answer:
Detail below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
An endometrial polyp or uterine polyp is a mass in the inner lining of the uterus.
They often cause no symptoms. Where they occur, symptoms include irregular menstrual bleeding, bleeding between menstrual periods, excessively heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), and vaginal bleeding after menopause.
Endometrial polyps measuring more than 15mm were associated with hyperplasia.
So there is nothing serious , you can go for surgically removed using curettage with or without hysteroscopy.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
