Does uterine polyps affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my wife has been carefully examined and found to have uterine polyps. However, she suddenly got pregnant at this very moment. I am very worried that this might affect the fetal growth and development. Will uterine polyps affect pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine polyps need to be examined for their number and size. If there are only a few polyps, just one or two, and they are small, they generally do not affect the fetal growth and development. If there are many polyps, and they are relatively large, they may easily lead to placenta implantation or placental abruption. This generally does not affect the fetal growth and development. However, if there is any vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain during pregnancy, it is essential to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
