Hi,

Endometrial polyps if causing symptoms need to be treated, if you are having excessive bleeding, pain during periods, and also these polyps could be due to excessive progesterone, which could also be a a cause of endometrial hyperplasia ( excessive thickening of lining of the womb). These need to be checked as rarely hyperplasia can lead to cancerous changes.
So best would be to get a hysteroscopy done to both visualize and remove the polyps, just a Dilatation and curettage would not be helpful.
Also do send the removed polyps for histopathology.
the procedure can done under general anesthesia, it will not be painful.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
