Will endometrial polyps transform into cancer?

Patient's question:

Will endometrial polyps turn into cancer?

Doctor's answer:

An endometrial polyp is a growth that attaches to the inner wall of the uterus via a thin stalk. Clinically, it is referred to as a uterine polyp. Therefore, polypoid masses in the uterine cavity can be submucosal fibroids, endometrial polyps, adenomyomatous polyps, or malignant polyps. The treatment of polyps is typically based on surgical treatment and removal, which is relatively accurate. It can also be treated with a decoction of large doses of coconut seeds or with traditional Chinese medicine to expel phlegm and resolve stagnation, although it also has a certain effect.
