Do uterine polyps require surgery?

Intrauterine polyps are common in women and can cause irregular vaginal bleeding, which becomes a problem for the majority of women. Currently, the treatment of endometrial polyps in the uterine cavity is based on the size, number and clinical symptoms of endometrial polyps. In general, if the endometrial polyp is single and less than one centimeter in diameter or if there is no vaginal bleeding, then it can be temporarily treated without surgery. Patients are advised to observe regularly. If the polyps are multiple, if the polyps are larger than one centimeter in diameter, or if the polyps cause vaginal bleeding, then patients are advised to undergo surgery. The surgery is a minimally invasive hysteroscopic procedure, which is not very painful, so there is no need to worry about it. Some patients say I have a polyp, can I not have surgery? It is important to note that endometrial polyps are larger and are a kind of lesion, and after surgical removal, further pathological examination is needed to exclude the possibility of malignant lesions. Therefore, when endometrial polyps are found once surgery is needed, it is best not to delay the diagnosis and treatment. In addition, endometrial polyp is a disease that is prone to recurrence. Therefore, the possibility of recurrence of endometrial polyps still exists after surgical treatment. Re-surgical treatment is needed if necessary. In summary, when endometrial polyps meet the indications for surgery, patients are advised to undergo surgical removal treatment as soon as possible.
