Does it matter if the polyp is left untreated?

If the polyp diameter <1cm, and the patient does not have obvious symptoms, can not give any treatment for the time being. Patients are advised to wait for observation and closely monitor the progress of the disease.
For larger polyps, if left untreated, abnormal uterine bleeding, irregular menstruation and other phenomena may occur, and serious patients may develop malignant lesions. It can affect the patient’s health and quality of life, so it is necessary to deal with it in time.
Patients with large polyps can take oral progesterone and other drugs as prescribed by the doctor to shrink the polyps. Curettage and excision can also be chosen to directly remove the affected area.
It is recommended that patients with endometrial polyps, timely medical treatment, improve the relevant examination, under the guidance of a professional doctor to clarify the cause of the disease, and actively cooperate with the doctor to carry out targeted treatment, to avoid delaying the condition.
