Polyps in the uterus
Polyps are grape-like growths that are sometimes found in the lining of the cervix or the uterus. There can be one or several polyps at the same time. They occur in 10-20% of pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women who’re examined for bleeding disturbances, and they are usually benign.
- Symptoms
-
Even though the polyps are usually benign, they can cause a good deal of problems for some women, such as:
- Bleeding between periods
- Bleeding during or after sex
- Vaginal discharge – heavy and watery
- Treatment
-
The polyps are removed. We do this either with a small telescope, or in a keyhole operation after dilating the cervix.
You will be sent to a hospital for operation.
