Can uterine polyps fall off on their own?

  Uterine polyps is a more general term. They are divided into two parts: cervical polyps and endometrial polyps. Cervical polyps with long and thin tips may fall off on their own with the discharge of menstrual blood. Endometrial polyps, on the other hand, have a wider base and do not usually shed easily on their own.  In the case of cervical polyps, contact vaginal bleeding may occur. These women usually visit an outpatient clinic, where a gynecologic examination will reveal a tongue-shaped, brittle mass on the cervix. The gynecologist will usually choose to remove the cervical polyp and send it for pathological examination. If the pathological examination results are consistent with the diagnosis of cervical polyp, it means that it is a benign chronic inflammatory disease and can be treated with oral medication and vaginal topical medication to prevent recurrence.  Endometrial polyps usually manifest as increased menstrual flow, prolonged periods and thickening of the endometrium. Usually patients often present with an anemic appearance when they come to the clinic. Diagnosis is confirmed by diagnostic curettage or hysteroscopy to obtain the endometrium for pathological examination. The treatment is usually regular progesterone to allow the endometrium to shed periodically and regularly to prevent the endometrium from proliferating too much and forming endometrial polyps.
