Patients with endometrial polyps, if they want to manage their condition, the majority is due to an infection. This is because the recurrence of endometrial polyps can occur during endometrial inflammation. The treatment for endometrial polyps generally requires hysteroscopic polypectomy at a hospital for symptomatic treatment. Patients with endometrial polyps generally experience menstrual disorders. Therefore, when managing, it is crucial to be aware that endometrial polyps can easily recur. Prevention of infection must be emphasized during management. Furthermore, endometrial polyps can lead to changes in menstruation. This generally affects fertility. Thus, after hysteroscopic polypectomy for endometrial polyps, it is essential to properly manage inflammation and provide appropriate treatment. Intercourse should be avoided within a month after the polyp removal surgery. If there are any abnormal conditions, it is necessary to seek hospital treatment for symptomatic management.

Can endometrial polyps cause bleeding?

Endometrial polyps can cause irregular vaginal bleeding, which can manifest as non-menstrual vaginal bleeding or menstrual vaginal bleeding, leading to prolonged menstrual periods and incomplete menstrual discharge. These conditions are generally caused by endometrial polyps. Generally, if endometrial polyps occur, it is recommended that patients undergo a hysteroscopic examination to assess the number and size of polyps. If necessary, surgical removal under hysteroscopy is required.

Can endometrial polyps recur?

Endometrial polyps are a common gynecological condition. Generally, when detected, endometrial polyps need to be surgically removed. After treatment, there is still a chance of recurrence of endometrial polyps, although the chance is not particularly high. Some patients may have a higher chance of recurrence, which varies from person to person. If endometrial polyps recur, further surgical treatment may be necessary. Under normal circumstances, oral medication can be administered post-surgery to help possibly prevent the recurrence of endometrial polyps. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

Can endometrial polyps cause bleeding?

Endometrial polyps can bleed, which is due to the proliferation of the endometrium resulting in a polyp-like tissue formation. This tissue sticks to the endometrium and thus has blood vessels on it. If women experience this, clinical symptoms will present as irregular vaginal bleeding. Such bleeding mostly occurs after menstruation has ended, followed by renewed vaginal bleeding, and the amount of bleeding can increase after physical activity. If this condition occurs, it is necessary to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to first rule out if it is caused by endometrial polyps.

Symptoms of endometrial polyp malignancy

When endometrial polyps in women undergo malignant transformation, it can lead to a large amount of vaginal discharge. This discharge may be accompanied by a foul odor, which could possibly be due to an associated infection. Additionally, when endometrial polyps undergo malignant transformation and form tumors, their growth rate accelerates, and the blood supply may not meet the growth needs of the polyps. This may lead to localized ulceration and bleeding, causing women to experience irregular vaginal bleeding. This bleeding can manifest as blood streaks in vaginal discharge or as persistent vaginal bleeding. As the tumor gradually enlarges, it increases the pressure in the uterine cavity, leading to abdominal pain in some women.

Can endometrial polyps be cured?

Women with endometrial polyps can be completely cured. First, endometrial polyps are benign lesions, which may be due to abnormally high levels of estrogen in women, leading to proliferative lesions. It is possible to completely remove the polyps through hysteroscopic endometrial polyp electrocision surgery. However, after surgery, some women may experience recurrence. To prevent this, periodic oral progestogen medication can also be administered to prevent recurrence. Some women may have endometrial inflammation, leading to the recurrence of endometrial polyps. In this case, broad-spectrum antibiotics can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment to prevent recurrence. (The use of drugs should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor.)
