Procedure
Uterine polyps are small growths that form due to the overgrowth of cells in the uterine lining. Oftentimes, small, asymptomatic polyps do not need removal and they can resolve on their own. However, patients who experience polyps that manifest painful symptoms or abnormal bleeding may be candidates for removal.
When is This Procedure Necessary?
What To Expect
Patients can request to be under anesthesia throughout the procedure, but it is often performed while the patient is awake. The surgeon will insert the hysteroscope through the vagina to reach the uterus, allowing the surgeon to examine the polyps up close, without the need for incision. Using the view of the hysteroscope, the surgeon will utilize specialized tools to carefully remove the polyps, and will often collect them for diagnostic testing.Â
Following the removal of polyps, individuals may notice light bleeding or spotting for a few days and are advised to avoid strenuous activities. Recovery time is usually quick, with most patients able to return to their normal activities within a day or two. It is essential to follow all post-operative instructions provided by your healthcare provider and attend any follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.
