The endometrial polyp is a fibrous proliferation of tissue lining the uterus from the inside. Polyps are not a threatening condition for women, if the histological examination does not prove the malignancy of education.
To reveal a polyp it is possible only at US. And in connection with the fact that the frequency of research increases during pregnancy, polyps are often found precisely in the process of development of pregnancy. This does not mean that the polyp arose after conception, it could develop until the time of fertilization, but not be visible to ultrasound.
Fibrous polyps of the endometrium are characterized by the proliferation of tissue towards the uterine cavity, napiform, so it is defined as a polyp "on the foot", which distinguishes it from other formations of the uterine cavity.
The characteristic signs of the polyps of the endometrium (with its considerable size) are:
- Stitching, cutting pain during menstruation;
- slight bleeding in the period between menstruation;
- unsuccessful attempts to become pregnant;
- violation of hormonal balance;
- prolonged, profuse menstruation.
What is the risk of endometrial polyps?
The greatest danger is the polyp of the endometrium as a precancerous condition. In case of its degeneration, progression and malignancy, the newly formed foci of uterine cancer quickly metastasizes to surrounding organs, and especially to the substance of the brain.
Pregnancy and polyps of the endometrium are directly related, both in frequency of detection, and for reasons. Polyps can occur after delivery with incomplete cleansing of the uterus from particles of the placental tissue. And if there is a polyp before the onset of pregnancy, in connection with the hormonal reconstruction of the mother's body, the polyps may undergo involution. With the onset of pregnancy, the polyp is not a threat to its pathological course or interruption, but it can serve as a hindrance to conception.
Removal of the endometrial polyp is recommended in pre-conception detection, if there is no need to delay the timing of surgery and there is no threat to the health of the future mother. If the pregnancy has already occurred and a tumor has been detected, removal of the endometrial polyp is recommended only after delivery to avoid prenatal, purulent-septic infection and other complications.
Pregnancy after removal of the endometrial polyp comes faster than with its presence in the uterine cavity, since in
Scraping of the endometrial polyp is recommended in a hospital with hysteroscopy followed by a control of the condition of the polyp bed, as cases of bleeding and relapse are not uncommon.
Of conservative treatment, duffaston is most commonly prescribed in the endometrial polyps, since correction of the hormonal status is a treatment and prevention of recurrence of the disease.
