Patient's question:
Endometrial thickness Endometrial polyps Hysteroscopic scraping surgery It has been a month since the menstruation came. Today, I went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. The doctor asked me to take progesterone for 10 days and have another menstrual period. On the fifth day of my period, I had an ultrasound. I wonder why I have already had a scraping of the uterus, why I still need to take progesterone? Is it because it wasn't scraped clean?Doctor's answer:
The formation of endometrial polyps is directly related to inflammation, endocrine disorders, and excessively high local estrogen levels or progesterone insensitivity in the endometrium. During the menstrual period, the surrounding endometrium peels off, while the polyp does not. Under the long-term effect of estrogen, polyps may potentially become cancerous. Prevention is key to postoperative care. Solutions vary depending on age and fertility advice.
