hello,
thank you for asking this question
Polyps are bulging growths in the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium. They are formed from the overgrowth of cells in the normal tissue lining the uterus, which then extend into the uterine cavity. They may also be found in the uterine cervix, and are usually benign (non-cancerous). Polyps are more common in women in their 40s and 50s, and can develop in both pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women.
Like fibroids, it is not clear what causes polyps. Being obese puts you at greater risk of developing polyps, as does hypertension. Having polyps may also cause you to have difficulty conceiving and puts you at higher risk of having a miscarriage if you’re pregnant.
Small polyps that don’t cause any problems may resolve on their own, and don’t need to be treated unless the risk of uterine cancer is present. Polyps causing heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding and/or containing cancerous cells will have to be removed surgically, via hysteroscopy – the insertion of a scope that allows visualisation of the uterine cavity from the inside. Polyps may recur after they have been removed. Curettage, a procedure in which the lining of the uterus is removed, can be used to cure endometrial polyps in most cases.
