Do multiple uterine polyps need treatment?

Whether or not multiple uterine polyps need to be treated depends on the patient’s age, symptoms, size of the polyp, and whether or not there is a possibility of cancer. For patients with no obvious symptoms and small polyps, no treatment is needed and they can be observed and followed up; for patients with serious symptoms, large polyps or the risk of malignancy, they can be treated with medication and surgery. 1. Medication: Hormonal drugs can be used to reduce the size of the polyp and relieve bleeding symptoms, such as progesterone and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, etc. However, they are usually short-term solutions and can recur once the drugs are stopped. 2. Surgery: such as hysteroscopic polyp removal or curettage, which is to remove or scrape polyps through instrumental guidance during hysteroscopy and is suitable for symptomatic patients, asymptomatic patients with risk of cancer, single polyps larger than 1.5cm in diameter, multiple polyps or infertile patients. Secondly, hysterectomy can also be used for patients over 40 years of age with a higher risk of malignancy, and hysterectomy is generally recommended for treatment. So once the uterine polyps are multiple, you need to go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor for reasonable treatment.
