Uterine polyps are growths that develop on the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium). They are typically non-cancerous (benign) and often appear during the reproductive years.
These polyps vary in size, ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters. While most uterine polyps are benign, some may contain cancerous cells, although this is rare.
Uterine polyps commonly manifest with several typical symptoms. These include irregular menstrual bleeding, such as heavy periods or bleeding between periods. Another significant indicator is bleeding occurring after menopause, which requires prompt medical attention.
These polyps can also contribute to infertility by making conception difficult. Some individuals may also experience pelvic pain or pressure, which can vary in intensity and duration. These symptoms underscore the importance of timely evaluation and management by healthcare professionals to address potential underlying issues associated with uterine polyps.

On the online booking engine select the “appointment type” you need.
You will be seen by one of our friendly doctors or trained clinicians.
Your doctor will ask about your medical history, symptoms (such as abnormal bleeding, heavy periods, or bleeding between periods), and any other relevant health issues. You may receive instructions to avoid certain activities, such as sexual intercourse, douching, or using tampons, for a day or two before the test.
During your examination, your healthcare provider may perform various diagnostic procedures tailored to your needs, such as a transvaginal ultrasound to image the uterus, hysterosonography using saline for clearer views, hysteroscopy for visual inspection with a lighted tube, or an endometrial biopsy to collect tissue for analysis.
Some tests, like hysteroscopy, can provide immediate visual results. However, a biopsy will require lab analysis, so results may take a few days. You might experience mild cramping or spotting after some procedures, such as hysterosonography or biopsy. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort. Your doctor will discuss the results with you and recommend next steps if polyps are detected.
