Patient's question:
What are the effects of treatment?Doctor's answer:
Disease Analysis: The main symptoms are increased menstrual volume or irregular uterine bleeding; polyps are observed or palpated at the cervical os, and the uterus is slightly enlarged; hysteroscopy or fractional curettage can be performed, with the obtained tissue or removed polyps sent for pathological examination to confirm the diagnosis and differentiate it from conditions such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding, submucosal uterine fibroids, and endometrial cancer.Guidance on Treatment:
【Treatment Measures】
Cervical dilation, polypectomy, followed by scraping the entire uterine cavity, can remove diffuse small polyps and send them for pathological examination. Regular follow-up should be conducted postoperatively to monitor for recurrence and malignant transformation, with timely intervention. In recent years, some have successfully treated small polyps through hysteroscopic surgery or laser therapy. For patients over 40 with significant bleeding symptoms that cannot be fully resolved or frequently recur with the aforementioned treatments, total hysterectomy may be considered.
【Etiology】
The formation of polyps may be related to inflammation, endocrine disorders, particularly excessively high estrogen levels. Most scholars believe that polyps originate from immature endometrium, especially the basal layer.
Lifestyle Management: Endometrial polyps can cause infertility, but since you are 44, you only need to pay attention to the above matters. It is hoped that treatment can be initiated as soon as possible.
