Can women with endometrial polyps still have an IUD?

Patient's question:

Medical History Description
On February 3, 2012, it was diagnosed as an endometrial polyp of 0.4 cm in Harbin during the period when menstruation was about to occur. The doctor recommended performing the procedure 3-7 days after menstruation. Therefore, on the 20th, an ultrasound was conducted with a measurement of 0.9 cm. The doctor suggested performing a hysteroscopy. I mentioned that I wanted a more conservative treatment, so the doctor recommended removing the IUD first to see what kind of help it would provide: Is the IUD and polyp related? Is it necessary to perform a hysteroscopy for the polyp? What size of polyp cannot be treated with a hysteroscopy?

Doctor's answer:

Hysteroscopic technology serves a dual role in diagnosis and treatment. In the sealed uterine cavity and abdominal cavity, physicians can observe the screen to diagnose and perform surgical operations, thereby significantly reducing the risk of surgery. Cervical polyp diseases that cannot be cured once or in the short term through traditional physical and medication treatments can all be treated through hysteroscopic surgery to achieve the goal of treatment. Finally, during the treatment period, patients need to maintain a regulated diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
