Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What is an endometrial polyp?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial polyps are commonly found in patients with menstrual disorders or endometritis. They are a benign condition that generally does not resolve on its own and require hysteroscopy or surgical removal. Endometrial polyps are foreign bodies that can affect the implantation of the fertilized egg, leading to infertility. The formation of endometrial polyps may be related to inflammation, endocrine disorders, especially excessively high estrogen levels. Therefore, it has nothing to do with consuming Ginkgo biloba.Endometrial polyps are typically treated with hysteroscopy or surgical procedures. However, ultrasound is not very accurate for diagnosing endometrial polyps. It is recommended that you undergo hysteroscopy for a definitive diagnosis. Additionally, tissue samples should be taken for pathological examination.
