One of the causes of Infertility is an Endometrial or uterine polyp. It can also increase the risk of miscarriage. Endometrial polyp is a mass in the inner lining of the Uterus. They range in size from few mm to several cm.
Causes:
Symptoms:
Diagnosis can be done by ultrasound (vaginal) scan and Hysteroscopy. It can also be seen as a filling defect in a HSG (Hysterosalpingogram).
The best way to remove the polyp is by Hysteroscopy and Polypectomy. Some doctors do D & C but it can be missed. After removing the polyp it should be sent for Histopathology study as it can be Benign or malignant, although majority tend to be benign.
Sometimes, a fibroid can grow inside the uterine cavity (fibroid is a masses of tissue rooted and growing from the uterine muscle and then grow into the cavity). Such fibroids are referred to as sub-muscular-intra-cavitory fibroids.
These fibroids cause pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, and prolonged periods. The best way to treat this type of fibroid is by giving injections of Gonadotrophine antagonist for 1-2 months to reduce the size of fibroid followed by Hysteroscopy and Polypectomy. Some large size fibroids cannot be removed by Hysteroscopy and many require laparoscopic Myomectomy.
