Patient's question:
Do you need surgery to treat endometrial polyps? What are the effects of endometrial polyps on pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial polyps are protrusions caused by excessive cell division of the endometrium, consisting of endometrium, stroma, and blood vessels. They are usually caused by endometritis, induced abortions, or other intrauterine operations such as hysteroscopy. Small polyps can be removed directly through curettage, while larger or more numerous polyps require hysteroscopic endometrial polypectomy. Endometrial polyps primarily interfere with the implantation of the fertilized egg.
