Endometrial polyps, does this condition cause heavy menstrual bleeding?

Patient's question:

I've been feeling that my menstrual flow has been relatively heavy recently, and it usually lasts about 5-7 days. Additionally, the color of my period seems abnormal, appearing darker. I had a thorough examination at the hospital and was diagnosed with endometrial polyps measuring 1.91.91.4. The doctor mentioned that my menstrual flow is excessive and asked if surgery is necessary.

Doctor's answer:

Endometrial polyps can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, which may also be accompanied by menstrual irregularities. A menstrual period lasting 5-7 days is generally considered normal. Endometrial polyps can affect childbirth. If you don't have a plan to get pregnant at the moment, surgical treatment may not be necessary for now. Medication treatment can be used first. If menstrual bleeding continues to be heavy and the menstrual cycle is irregular, hysteroscopic surgery may be required.
