Can endometrial polyps be surgically removed? How are they treated?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Polyps are often caused by long-term chronic inflammation, which leads to the hyperplasia of the cervical canal mucosa. Polyps can be categorized into cervical polyps and vaginal polyps. Both types can occur near the cervical canal and project towards the surrounding area of the cervical os, or they may be exactly located at the cervical os, potentially causing cervical stenosis or deformation of the cervical canal. This can hinder the normal ascent of sperm, all of which can affect fertility. Cervical polyps are most commonly mucosal polyps formed by the hyperplasia of mucosal epithelium. Once discovered, such polyps should be surgically treated.
