Patient's question:
I have had two natural miscarriages, and once I was pregnant until the seventh month, but had to terminate the pregnancy because the fetus had heart defects. A year ago, I was diagnosed with endometrial polyps and underwent hysteroscopy. Up to now, I still haven't been able to get pregnant. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial polyps can affect pregnancy.The mechanism by which endometrial polyps cause infertility is as follows:
1) Polyps fill the uterine cavity, hindering the retention and implantation of sperm and zygotes.
2) Polyps combined with infection alter the intrauterine environment, making it unfavorable for the survival of sperm and zygotes.
3) Polyps obstruct placental implantation and embryonic development.
4) Combined with tubal or ovarian inflammation, they can cause obstructive or anovulatory infertility.
Guidance:
If endometrial polyps are detected and treated promptly, the chances of pregnancy are relatively high.
