An intrauterine polyp, also known as an endometrial polyp, is a growth of tissue that develops in the lining of the uterus. Polyps are usually noncancerous, and many women may have them without experiencing any symptoms. However, in some cases, polyps can cause abnormal uterine bleeding or infertility.
The exact cause of intrauterine polyps is not known, but they are more common in women who are in their 40s and have had children. Polyps can also be caused by changes in hormone levels, such as those that occur during menopause.
Symptoms of intrauterine polyps may include abnormal bleeding, including heavy or prolonged periods, bleeding between periods, or postmenopausal bleeding. Some women may also experience infertility, although the link between polyps and infertility is not fully understood.
In many cases, intrauterine polyps can be detected during a pelvic exam or through an ultrasound. If a polyp is suspected, a hysteroscopy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis and remove the polyp.
Treatment for intrauterine polyps typically involves removing the polyp through hysteroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure in which a small camera and instruments are inserted through the vagina and cervix to remove the polyp. In some cases, hormonal medications may be prescribed to help reduce the size of the polyp prior to removal.
It is important for women who are experiencing abnormal bleeding or infertility to speak with their healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of their symptoms and explore the most appropriate treatment options. Intrauterine polyps are usually treatable, and early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the risk of complications.

Before your first appointment, one of our clinical care coordinators will call you to discuss your case and review what appointments to expect. The clinical care coordinator will make sure all appointments are arranged in a timely fashion. Each of our patients is unique and treated individually, and the schedule of doctors you see will be tailored specifically to your needs. The doctors will discuss your care options with you and answer any questions that you may have regarding your diagnosis and management.
We are dedicated to helping pregnant women and their families after a significant birth defect or genetic condition has been detected. Specialists from both obstetrics and pediatrics work together as a team to determine the best way to care for you and your unborn baby, both during and after your pregnancy.
Whenever possible, we create an integrated appointment plan, so that you can meet with the multiple subspecialists involved in your case. Some patients come here for a second opinion and go back to their obstetrician. Other patients transfer their care to Columbia as their delivery date approaches to make sure their baby immediately receives the necessary specialized pediatric care after birth.
