Polyps of the Uterus are Not Uncommon

Uterine polyps are tear drop shaped tissue structures that can line the interior of the uterus

They are more common as a woman ages

Most cause irregular bleeding, but some do not and can exist in the uterus prior to and even after menopause

It is true that polyps of the uterine lining can spontaneously resolve through regression of the tissue, but it’s unclear how often or how long that might take

The risk of malignancy in a polyp is very low in a woman prior to menopause

Polyps of the uterus might interfere with conceiving or pregnancy

Removal or treatment with hormones are commonly prescribed after ultrasound to determine the size and extent

Polyps of the uterus are not uncommon, but consult your gynecologist for a recommendation regarding management in your case if you are diagnosed with one
