What should I do if the endometrial polyp recurs?
Endometrial polyps are polyp-like changes that occur due to overgrowth of the endometrial lining, primarily related to high levels of estrogen in the body and hormonal imbalances. Additionally, oral consumption of some health supplements containing hormonal medications can stimulate the formation of endometrial polyps. Patients with hypertension or obesity are among the high-risk groups for developing endometrial polyps. Since endometrial polyps are related to estrogen levels, there is a possibility of recurrence. Once endometrial polyps are suspected, it is crucial to undergo a hysteroscopic examination at a hospital for confirmation. If the polyp is larger than one centimeter or if there is continuous bleeding during menstruation, it is necessary to promptly undergo a hysteroscopic polypectomy. Post-surgery, medications are required to prevent the recurrence of endometrial polyps.
