Uterine polyps are tear drop shaped tissue structures that can line the interior of the uterus<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are more common as a woman ages<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most cause irregular bleeding, but some do not and can exist in the uterus prior to and even after menopause<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The risk of malignancy in a polyp is very low in a woman prior to menopause<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Polyps of the uterus might interfere with conceiving or pregnancy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Removal or treatment with hormones are commonly prescribed after ultrasound to determine the size and extent<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
