Uterine Polyps Treatment in India

Endometrial polyps are tiny tissue growths that originate from the uterine lining, or endometrium. Polyps usually range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters, and they can be round or oval in shape. They have a large base or a tiny stalk that attaches them to the uterine wall.

Endometrial polyps come from the lining, which is likewise delicate and mostly composed of endometrial tissue, in contrast to uterine fibroids, which originate from the uterine muscle layer. Endometrial polyps typically affect women between the ages of 40 and 50, although they can also affect younger women and women who have gone through menopause. Fertility work-ups and imaging tests may unintentionally reveal asymptomatic polyps.

There are majorly 6 types of uterine polyps. Let’s understand them briefly. 

Endometrial Polyps: This kind develops in the inner lining of the uterus which is also known as endometrium. They are the most common type of uterine polyps.

Cervical Polyps: These grow on the surface or inside the cervical canal which connects the uterus to the vagina.

Sessile Polyps: These are flat polyps attached directly to the uterine wall without a stalk. 

Pedunculated Polyps: Polyps attached to the uterine lining by a thin stalk or stem.

Benign Polyps: These are non-cancerous growths that make up the majority of uterine polyps. 

Precancerous or Cancerous Polyps: These are rare types of polyps which can contain abnormal or cancerous cells, which is mostly common after menopause.

Endometrial polyps are thought to be caused by hormonal imbalances, mainly excessive oestrogen stimulation of the uterine lining, though the exact origin is yet unknown. Because estrogen causes the endometrium to grow, aberrant localized overgrowths may develop if estrogen levels remain high for an extended length of time without progesterone balancing impact.

Among the contributing elements are: 

• Hormone fluctuation, especially with regard to the transition to perimenopause.
• Obesity, which is increased synthesis of estrogen, can result from excess body fat.
• Diabetes and hypertension are some metabolic diseases that may be linked to abnormal endometriosis.
• Long-term exposure to estrogen increases the risk for women over 40.
• Tamoxifen raises the risk and is used as a therapy for breast cancer. These kinds of abnormal growths may also be more common in women who have used hormone therapy, had irregular periods, or suffered infertility.

Uterine polyps may be diagnosed using the following tests:

Ultrasound: When inserted into the vagina, a thin, wand-like instrument produces sound waves and an image of the uterus, including its interior. There may be a region of thicker endometrial tissue or an obvious polyp.

Hysterosonograph: Also known as sonohysterography, it is a related technique in which a tiny tube inserted via the vagina and cervix is used to inject salt water (saline) into the uterus. During the ultrasound, the saline causes the uterus to enlarge, making the inside of the uterus more visible. 

Hysteroscopy: In this a thin, flexible, illuminated telescope (hysteroscope) is inserted into the uterus via the cervix and vagina. Hysteroscopy makes it possible to see within the uterus.

endometrial biopsy. A sample is taken for laboratory analysis using a suction catheter placed into the uterus. An endometrial biopsy may confirm uterine polyps, however it may also miss the polyp.

• Irregular menstrual bleeding or spotting between periods
• Heavy or prolonged menstrual flow
• Difficulty in conceiving or fertility-related issues
• Pelvic pain or discomfort in some cases
• Increased risk of iron deficiency anaemia due to heavy bleeding
• Possibility of recurrence after treatment
• Rare risk of precancerous or cancerous changes in the polyp
