Patient's question:
I am a patient with endometrial polyps. I discovered menstrual irregularities last year. Many times, a detailed vaginal ultrasound examination showed uneven echoes of the endometrium, suggesting the presence of endometrial polyps. In August of this year, I underwent a diagnostic dilation and curettage. The results showed fibrosis of the endometrium, and it was recommended to have a hysteroscopy. On December 14 of this year, I had a hysteroscopic endometrial polypectomy. The examination results showed fibrosis of the polyps, which were negative. My period arrived on December 25, and I stopped bleeding on December 29. However, I still have a vague abdominal pain. I want to know if it is okay to take short-acting birth control pills after the removal of endometrial polyps?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial polyps, after surgical removal, cause damage to the endometrium, so it is necessary to take birth control pills irregularly to promote the repair of the endometrium and enhance the growth and development of the endometrium. Take birth control pills continuously for 21 days. On the fifth day of the menstrual period, take the medication for the next menstrual cycle and take short-acting birth control pills to promote the complete recovery of the endometrium. This can prevent intrauterine adhesions.
