What are uterine polyps? When is surgery necessary?

Uterine polyps are benign growths resulting from the excessive proliferation of the uterine lining or the lining of the cervix. Surgical removal is recommended in the following cases:

• Large size: The polyp exceeds 10mm in diameter or grows in clusters, causing compression.
• Severe symptoms: Causes prolonged menstruation, persistent vaginal bleeding, or pain and abnormal bleeding during intercourse.
• Impaired fertility: Blocks the path of sperm, hinders egg implantation, and makes conception difficult.
• Risk of complications: The polyp is severely inflamed, necrotic, or shows signs of potential progression to a pre-cancerous state.

Common surgical methods for uterine polyp removal

Depending on the location (uterine cavity or cervix), size, and number of polyps, the doctor will recommend the appropriate surgical method to ensure safety and high effectiveness:

Hysteroscopic polyp removal

The doctor inserts a camera-equipped endoscope through the vagina into the uterine cavity, then uses specialized instruments to precisely cut and eliminate the polyp’s base.

• Advantages: Minimally invasive, no surgical incision, painless, leaves no scars, completely removes the polyp’s base, and preserves the uterine lining intact.
• Disadvantages: Requires modern endoscopic equipment and a highly skilled physician.
• Indications: Suitable for most cases of endometrial polyps, especially large polyps (>1 cm) with deep attachment bases, those causing irregular vaginal bleeding, or in women wishing to conceive.
• Duration: Approximately 15 – 30 minutes (depending on the number and size of the polyps).

Cervical Polyp Torsion

This method is used for cervical polyps that have a narrow stalk and are clearly visible externally. The physician uses specialized forceps to grasp the base of the stalk and gently twists it to remove the polyp.

• Advantages: Quick to perform, simple procedure, painless, and low cost.
• Disadvantages: Applicable only to pedunculated cervical polyps; cannot be used for polyps located deep within the uterine cavity.
• Indications: Suitable for polyps located at the cervix that are small to medium in size, have a slender stalk, and protrude into the vagina.
• Duration: Very quick; takes only about 5 – 10 minutes.

Polyp removal via electrosurgery or laser

High-frequency electrical current or a laser beam is applied directly to the polyp’s stalk to sever it and achieve immediate hemostasis.

• Advantages: Thorough treatment, quick procedure time, and effective hemostasis.
• Disadvantages: Without skilled technique, minor thermal scarring may occur at the cauterization site on the cervix.
• Indications: Suitable for cases involving cervical polyps with thick stalks or broad bases, or polyps with a high risk of bleeding that are difficult to treat definitively using the standard twisting method.
• Procedure time: Approximately 10 – 15 minutes.

• Abstain from sexual intercourse: Avoid sexual activity for 2 – 4 weeks (as advised by your doctor) to allow the uterine lining time to fully recover.
• Sensible lifestyle: Avoid strenuous physical activity, heavy lifting, or swimming during the initial recovery period; prioritize rest and a nutritious diet.
• Medication and follow-up: Take medication exactly as prescribed and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Uterine Polyp Removal

Here are quick answers to common questions to put your mind at ease before the procedure:

Is uterine polyp removal painful?

Local anesthesia or mild sedation is administered during the procedure, so you will feel no pain or discomfort. Afterward, you may experience only a mild, dull sensation in the lower abdomen, which will quickly subside.

How long does it take to fully recover?

Typically, the wound stabilizes and stitches are removed after 7–14 days. The uterine lining usually recovers completely within 2 – 4 weeks, depending on your body’s healing process and the specific surgical method used.

Can uterine polyps recur after surgery?

Completely removing the polyp’s base prevents that specific polyp from growing back. However, to prevent the formation of new polyps caused by hormonal factors, it is important to maintain proper hygiene and schedule a gynecological check-up every six months.
