Can endometrial polyps be detected by ultrasound?

Patient's question:

After taking medicine for endometrial polyps for a while, I am now ready to go for a follow-up examination. Can endometrial polyps be detected by ultrasound?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, if the endometrial polyps are quite prominent, they can be identified through ultrasound echoes. However, it is still better to undergo hysteroscopic surgery to remove them. If left untreated for a long time, there is a possibility of causing inflammation. Some may experience clinical symptoms, such as excessive menstrual bleeding or prolonged menstruation. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo relevant examinations.
