What is a Uterine Polyp?
Uterine polyps are growths that occur in the lining of the uterus. It’s sometimes called endometrial polyps when there’s an overgrowth in the endometrial tissue. A thin stalk or board base attaches the polyp to the uterus lining. The polyps are usually round or oval in shape, ranging from a few millimeters to centimeters or larger. There may be one or more polyps. It’s typically non-cancerous. However, if untreated, polyps affect your menstruation and fertility.

Uterine polyps treatment in Dubai
The treatment depends on the severity of the polyps. If they are causing symptoms, they require necessary treatment.
Being vigilant
If polyps are small without any symptoms, they may resolve independently. You have to ensure appropriate monitoring.
Medications
Our doctor prescribes certain hormonal medications, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists and progestins, that reduce the symptoms of polyps. However, medications are short-term solutions; the symptoms recur once you stop taking them.
Surgery for uterine polyp removal
Hysteroscopy is the process of uterine polyp removal. Using a hysteroscope, our doctor inserts tools and removes polyps. Hysteroscopy is a precise procedure where a doctor can visualize and remove the polyps simultaneously. The removed polyp tissue is sent to the laboratory for further testing.
If your polyp is cancerous, hysterectomy is the surgery used to remove the uterus with cancer cells.
