Does exercise during menstruation lead to endometrial polyps?

Patient's question:

I want to get pregnant. In May, during the 4th to 6th days of my menstrual period, I did 40 sit-ups every night. During the menstrual period, I did 100 jumping jacks once and slow running once. Could these exercises cause endometrial polyps? There was no increase in blood flow, and no lower abdominal pain. However, four days after my period ended, I went to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound, and they said the endometrium was uneven and suspected endometrial polyps. Could these exercises cause endometrial polyps? The doctor at the hospital told me to come back immediately after my next period ends for another color Doppler ultrasound. What kind of examination can confirm an endometrial polyp? What kind of treatment has minimal trauma?

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Exercise does not cause uterine polyps.
Medical Advice: Small polyps can be removed through hysteroscopic surgery or laser treatment. In severe cases, the cervix should be dilated to remove the polyps, followed by scraping the entire uterine cavity to remove diffuse small polyps and send them for pathological examination. Regular follow-up should be conducted after the surgery to monitor for recurrence and malignant transformation, and appropriate treatment should be administered in a timely manner.
