Endometrial Polyp

Endometrial polyps are abnormal overgrowths of tissue within the uterine cavity. Endometrial polyps involve various factors related to the cellular changes and hormonal influences within the endometrium (the inner lining of the uterus). Here are some key aspects:
1. Hormonal imbalance
2. Chronic inflammation
3. Abnormal cellular growth
4. Angiogenesis
5. Hormonal receptors
 

Uterine polyps can present with a combination of the following symptoms:
  • Abnormal uterine bleeding: This can manifest as irregular menstrual periods, heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), or bleeding between periods (inter- menstrual bleeding), post-coital bleeding. Some women may also experience postmenopausal bleeding.
  • Pelvic pain or discomfort: Uterine polyps can cause pelvic pain or discomfort.
  • Infertility or difficulty conceiving: In some cases, uterine polyps can interfere with fertility or make it difficult for a woman to conceive. The presence of polyps within the uterus can disrupt the normal implantation of a fertilized egg or cause difficulty in maintaining a pregnancy.
  • Asymptomatic: It's important to note that some women with uterine polyps may not experience any noticeable symptoms. Polyps may be discovered incidentally during routine gynecological examinations or imaging studies.
