Are endometrial polyps serious?

Whether endometrial polyps are serious should be determined based on the specific situation. If the endometrial polyps are small and there are no other abnormalities in the body, they are usually not serious. If the endometrial polyps are large and the body has discomfort, they are very serious.

Endometrial polyps are a common gynecological disease. If the estrogen level in the body keeps rising, it will cause the endometrium to thicken. Long-term stimulation will cause the endometrium to overgrow, thus forming polyps. If the endometrial polyps are small after the disease, there are no obvious symptoms in the body and they are discovered by chance during examination. With effective treatment, the condition can be controlled, the recovery is better, and it is usually not serious.

If the endometrial polyp is large, the patient has abnormal uterine bleeding, discharge of bloody secretions with a strange odor, and other abnormal symptoms, and the polyp continues to grow, cancer may occur. This phenomenon is more serious and requires surgical treatment such as hysteroscopic polypectomy, curettage, and hysterectomy. After the operation, you should pay more attention to rest, go to the hospital for regular checkups according to the doctor's advice, and observe the recovery of the disease.
