Patient's question:
Hello Doctor, is it necessary to have a hysteroscopy surgery for endometrial polyps? I had a thorough gynecological examination at the hospital a few weeks ago and was found to have endometrial polyps. The doctor recommended me to undergo hysteroscopy surgery. Therefore, I would like to ask, is this surgery mandatory?Doctor's answer:
Yes. If the ultrasound suggests there are obvious strong echo formations in the endometrium, and this is observed repeatedly after the menstrual cycle has ended, then it is likely to be an endometrial polyp. Since blind scraping cannot remove the root of an endometrial polyp, a hysteroscopy surgery should be performed. This allows for a clear view of the polyp's location, and an electric loop can be used to remove its root to prevent recurrence in that area.
