Is it necessary to have surgery for endometrial polyps?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

When the endometrium has polyps, it can affect the implantation of the fertilized egg, leading to infertility or miscarriage. Moreover, during pregnancy, the hormone levels in the body rise, and there is a possibility of polyps becoming malignant. Therefore, it is essential to remove the polyps before pregnancy. Endometrial polyps can be removed using hysteroscopy or treated with instrumental scraping of the uterine cavity. After the surgery, a pathological examination is sent to rule out the possibility of malignancy.
