Patient's question:
What are the reasons for the repeated occurrence of endometrial polyps? Can this condition heal on its own? Will it affect having children?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial polyps are primarily caused by endocrine factors. Estrogen can force the endometrium to proliferate, leading to menstruation, and thus the formation of endometrial polyps is closely related to excessively high estrogen levels. Inflammatory factors, such as long-term gynecological inflammation, irritation from intrauterine foreign bodies (e.g., intrauterine devices), childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infections, surgical operations, or mechanical irritation, may all contribute to the recurrent occurrence of endometrial polyps. Prolonged inflammatory stimulation can cause the polyps to grow larger. It is recommended that you seek early diagnosis and treatment. For small, asymptomatic polyps, temporary intervention may not be necessary, as some polyps can spontaneously regress.
