Endometrial polyps cannot be eliminated by medication; some medications can be used as adjunctive treatment to surgery, but surgical treatment is required to cure the disease.
Endometrial polyps are glandular hyperplasia originating from the endometrial layer in the uterine cavity. Depending on the origin and characteristics of the polyps, they can be categorized into functional polyps originating from the mature endometrium, non-functional polyps originating from the immature endometrium, adenomyomatous polyps, and postmenopausal atrophic polyps.
If the endometrial polyps are small (<1 cm in diameter), there is a certain probability that they will disappear naturally. The choice of medication needs to be under the guidance of a doctor, including hormonal drugs, such as megestrol and levonorgestrel, which have a certain role in preventing the recurrence of polyps after surgery.
For larger, symptomatic endometrial polyps, surgery can be used, such as hysteroscopic removal of polyps.
It is recommended that patients with this disease consult a doctor in a timely manner, after a clear diagnosis, follow the doctor's instructions for appropriate treatment.
