Endometrial Polyp :
An endometrial polyp is described as a non-cancerous, benign growth that forms on the endometrium or inner lining of the uterus. This polyp attaches to the endometrium through a stalk and thus extends into the uterus. The significant signs of endometrial polyps are irregular menstrual periods, bleeding or spotting between periods, vaginal spotting or bleeding after menopause, infertility, bleeding after intercourse and unusually heavy flow during menstrual periods. The risk factors associated with endometrial polyps include high blood pressure, taking drugs to treat breast cancer, receiving hormone replacement therapy, and being overweight. Endometrial polyps are identified by conducting various diagnostic tests and operative procedures like transvaginal ultrasound, endometrial biopsy, hysteroscopy, sonohysterography, and curettage. The treatment plan to manage endometrial polyps includes taking medications to relieve symptoms and keep the hormones balanced, and surgical methods like hysterectomy and uterine polypectomy, to remove the entire uterus or only the polyp.
