Endometrial polyps are small, non-cancerous growths of the endometrial tissue that line the inside of the uterus. They can be one or more growths, and they can be anywhere from a few millimetres to several centimetres in size. Women between the ages of childbearing and menopause are most likely to get these polyps, but they can happen at any age.

We don't know exactly what causes them, but hormonal issues, especially too much estrogen, are thought to be what makes them grow. Obesity, high blood pressure, and using certain drugs, including tamoxifen, are all risk factors. Some women have no symptoms at all, while others may have heavy periods, spotting between cycles, or bleeding after menopause. Polyps can sometimes make it harder for a woman to get pregnant because they make it harder for an embryo to implant.

Transvaginal ultrasound, hysteroscopy, or saline infusion sonography are the most common ways to get a diagnosis. These tests help see the inside of the uterus clearly. The treatment depends on the symptoms and the person's reproductive goals. Doctors can watch small polyps that don't cause any problems, but they routinely remove larger or symptomatic polyps via hysteroscopic polypectomy.

Early diagnosis and proper treatment are necessary to alleviate symptoms, enhance reproductive results, and exclude uncommon malignant transformations.
