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 a heart defect. A year ago, I was diagnosed with endometrial polyps and underwent hysteroscopy. Up to now, I have not 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 filling the uterine cavity hinder 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) Complications with tubal or ovarian inflammation can lead to obstructive or anovulatory infertility.
Recommendation:
If endometrial polyps are detected and treated in a timely manner, the chances of pregnancy are relatively high.
