Can an endometrial polyp resolve? Why is focal endometrial hyperplasia dangerous? Removal of cervical polyp

Collapse

A polyp is a growth of mucous membrane in the uterus in a certain area. It is a body on a leg. If it is at the initial stage, then it is very difficult to notice it during examination. Often the disease is asymptomatic. However, if, nevertheless, using ultrasound or hysteroscopy, a woman is diagnosed with a benign formation, can the polyp in the uterus resolve? Is it necessary to resort to surgery? The answer to the question is below.

What is the probability that a tumor in the uterus will resolve on its own?

The answer to this question depends on a number of circumstances. For example:

• size of education;
• patient's age;
• predisposition to cancer.

In fact, in medical practice there are cases where polyps resolved on their own. But this happened if the tumor was very small, or the woman helped it resolve using traditional methods.

However, when diagnosing this formation, you should not hope for a miracle and think that in your case it will resolve. After all, this diagnosis is dangerous. Here are just some of the consequences of an untreated formation in the uterus:

• development into cancer;
• anemia due to constant uterine bleeding;
• infertility;
• constant pain during sexual intercourse;
• very painful periods.

As you can see, the dangers that this diagnosis poses prompt a woman to see a doctor to prescribe treatment. Only a doctor, based on the results of the examination, can predict whether it will resolve or not.

Another point that affects whether a polyp will resolve on its own is the reason why it formed. It happens that when the cause is eliminated, the effect also goes away.

The main causes of the disease:

• hormonal imbalance;
• problems with the thyroid gland;
• chronic inflammation of the pelvic organs;
• injuries in the uterus;
• long-term use of the IUD;
• diabetes;
• obesity;
• stress;
• immune abnormalities.

If the doctor understands that the reason that caused the formation of the polyp is easily eliminated, then he will direct all his efforts to treat it. Then it can resolve following the cause. However, it is worth remembering that this is an exception to the rule, and not a frequent occurrence.

Is it possible for a polyp to come out during menstruation?

It is important to remember that a polyp is not just a harmless growth, but a cellular disorder that can develop into cancer. Hoping that he will just come out with his period is not entirely reasonable.

Why? Because, even with medicinal hormonal treatment, you can only achieve detachment of the growth from the walls of the uterus. Some people, having seen blood clots come out during menstruation, begin to assume that it is a polyp that has come out. But remember that blood clots during menstruation are one of the symptoms of endometriosis or another abnormality.

Conclusion: the release of a polyp during menstruation is possible, but only in rare cases. Even if this happened, it is important to check whether all of it has come out in order to avoid a relapse.

If a polyp is not found at the next examination, does this mean that it has resolved?

Of course, if you are one of those women who managed to remove the cause of polyp formation, then there is a possibility that it will not be detected during re-diagnosis due to self-resorption. But here you need to understand which examination method was chosen during re-diagnosis. After all, some diagnostic methods are not able to make the above diagnosis. It may turn out that it was simply not detected due to its small size, but it will begin to grow and entail serious consequences. What diagnostic methods should be used?

• Inspection. With this method, the doctor may not always notice a polyp in the uterus. With the naked eye, the gynecologist will see only the one that is in the cervical canal.
• Ultrasound allows you to understand whether there is a growth in the uterine cavity.
• Metrography. The diagnostic method involves injecting a contrast liquid into the uterus to examine all irregularities and detect polyps.
• Hysteroscopy gives a 100% chance of detecting a polyp, both in the uterus and outside it.

Folk remedies to speed up the resorption process

If the doctor has assured that the polyp is very small and does not pose a serious danger, you can use traditional methods to resolve the benign formation.

• Infusion of herbs of the uterus, wintergreen. Take a glass of boiling water on a small spoon of herbs. Then leave for an hour. Drink a third of a glass 3 times a day. Drink boron uterus within 30 minutes. before meals, and wintergreen grass after meals after the same 30 minutes.
• The method of using tampons with black sea buckthorn oil has received a lot of positive reviews. Place in the vagina at night. The course of treatment is from a week to a month.

More details in the video

These are called pathological protrusions that are formed as a result of the proliferation of the mucous membrane. The code according to ICD-10 is No. 84.1.

The nature of such formations is benign, and simply put, a cervical polyp is a wart in the cervical canal that grows into its lumen.

Among all benign neoplasms that can occur on the cervix, a quarter of cases are polyposis.

Since currently the risk of developing oncological processes in the cervix is ​​constantly increasing, all women, without exception, need to be regularly examined by a gynecologist for the timely detection of pathological growths.

The essence of pathology

Most often, the cervical polyp is located in the middle or in the upper part of the external pharynx. The size of the formation can vary - from a few mm to large neoplasms that are visible to the naked eye.

The polyp itself is a mushroom-shaped or cylindrical structure that has a stalk with a blood vessel inside. With regard to cellular composition, formations are classified into several types, which will be discussed below.

NOTE!

Untreated polyps of the cervical canal can cause an oncological process in the cervix.

Reasons for education

• nagging pain that becomes stronger during menstruation;
• increase in leucorrhoea volume;
• , which are not related to the menstrual cycle.

In women in the reproductive period, polyposis can be combined with infertility, as well as provoke menstrual irregularities.

The presence of bloody or spotting discharge in menopausal women is a very alarming signal, which may indicate the transformation of a polyp into a malignant process, so contacting a doctor in this case should be urgent.

With a medium-sized or large-sized polyp, a woman may experience pain after intimacy. Moreover, if the growth is damaged immediately after sexual intercourse, bleeding is observed.

As for menstrual irregularities, it is expressed in longer and heavier menstruation. This is due to increased levels of estrogen, which causes the uterine lining to thicken, resulting in prolonged menstruation, leading to anemia.

It may have two reasons - the growth has blocked the cervical canal, and the seminal fluid cannot penetrate the uterus in the required quantity, or the polyp has formed as a result of a hormonal disorder, which is actually the cause of difficulties with conception.

Cervical canal polyposis is a rather insidious disease. A woman may not know for years that she is carrying a time bomb within herself. A polyp may not be accompanied by a clinical picture for a long time, and when it appears, it can mean a complication of the process - from inflammation and infection to oncology. This is why gynecologists so strongly recommend regularly coming for preventive examinations, even if the woman is not worried about anything. Most dangerous illnesses are asymptomatic in the initial stages, and polyposis is one of them.

Types of polyps

• strangulation of the polyp by the walls of the cervix, in this case the woman should be urgently hospitalized and operated on;
• infertility;
• frequent miscarriages;
• hormonal imbalances;
• development of anemia as a result of frequent bleeding;
• pain during intimacy;
• psychological disorders.

In addition, with polyposis there is a real risk of infection of the inflammatory process, and the spread of inflammation to other structures of the reproductive and urinary systems.

Can it resolve on its own?

In most cases, the polyp not only cannot resolve on its own, but also does not disappear with medication and physiotherapy.

The fact is that the tissues that make up polypous formations are dense and mature. Therefore, the polyp can only be removed surgically.

Diagnostic methods

Polypous formation in the cervical region is quite easy to detect during a standard gynecological examination.

However, in some cases additional diagnostics may be required; in this case, use:

• colposcopy;
• cerviscopy;
• hysteroscopy;
• diagnostic curettage;
• (polyp in the picture, indicated in the photo).

In addition, the following laboratory tests are required from the patient::

• general analysis of urine and blood;
• blood test for hormones;
• vaginal smear for flora;
• histology;
• biopsy.

Drug treatment

When the cervical polyp is small in size, when surgical intervention is contraindicated for some reason, or when the woman herself refuses surgery, it is advisable to prescribe.

This therapy is aimed at stopping the growth of pathology, relieving unpleasant symptoms, and is also necessary to prevent the development of complications.

The following groups of drugs are used for this:

• oral contraceptives;
• gestagens;
• antibacterial drugs;
• anti-inflammatory drugs.

Folk remedies

It is prescribed only to relieve symptoms, so folk remedies cannot be used as independent treatment.

As an addition to drug or surgical treatment, you can use douching with decoctions of medicinal herbs, tamponation with oils and decoctions, and taking decoctions orally.

Most often used:

• honey and other bee products;
• aloe;
• chamomile;
• celandine;
• calendula;
• hog uterus;
• St. John's wort;
• sea ​​buckthorn oil.

When is surgery necessary?

Modern techniques allow you to do without complex surgical interventions that leave scars, incisions and other negative consequences.

However, women who have been diagnosed with a polyp do not always agree even to minimally invasive removal of the pathology.

In some cases, doctors can meet the patient halfway and postpone the intervention, but sometimes delay can lead to irreversible consequences.

The presence of a polyp in the cervical canal is already an indication for surgical intervention, but the absolute indications are the following:

• lack of positive dynamics when using conservative means,
• the patient's age is over 40 years;
• the size of the formation exceeds 1 cm;
• During the diagnosis, pathological cells were identified that could transform into malignant ones.

Intervention methods

There are the following types of surgical removal of tumors::

1. - This is the classic removal of a polyp by twisting and cauterization with electric current. After removal, the cervical canal is scraped out, the entire procedure is carried out under the control of special optical equipment - a hysteroscope.
2. Laser removal– a minimally invasive technique that allows you to remove a tumor and reduce the risk of scarring, as well as minimize blood loss.
3. Radio wave treatment– a progressive and safest way to remove a polyp and avoid complications.
4. Cauterization with Solquagin. Suitable for eliminating small tumors.
5. Dithermocoagulation– removal of the formation using an electric loop.

Effect on pregnancy

In principle, pregnancy in the presence of a polyp is possible, but in this case the woman must be under the strict supervision of a doctor for the entire period of gestation.

Polyposis can in some cases complicate the course of pregnancy - provoke bleeding, become infected, increase the risk of miscarriage in the early stages, and so on.

In addition, a cervical polyp may make it impossible to have a natural birth, and the woman will be scheduled for an emergency cesarean section.

As for pregnancy after removal of the tumor, it is possible after the end of the recovery period, which on average takes about 3 months. While the rehabilitation lasts, the wife is taking hormonal medications that will prevent conception.

Conclusion and conclusions

Cervical polyps are a serious pathology that requires specialist supervision.

The absence of a clinical picture in the initial stages of the disease once again emphasizes the importance of preventive examinations. Self-treatment is not only useless, but also extremely dangerous.

Neoplasms consist of mature tissue that reacts poorly to any external or internal influences. However, many patients mistakenly believe that a number of procedures and special treatments can get rid of polyps without surgery. To clarify these misconceptions, it is necessary to analyze in detail the features of the therapeutic effect of each of the possible methods.

1. surgical treatment;

3. antibacterial therapy;

Surgery.

Any of these methods is guaranteed to relieve the patient of tumors in the uterine cavity. It is quite reckless to hope for self-resorption of polyps under the influence of medications. All other treatment methods are aimed more at eliminating symptoms. The polyps themselves and all the risks associated with them remain.

Hormone therapy.

• elimination of pain syndrome;
• stopping the growth of polyps ( but not their reduction in size);
• reduction or elimination of vaginal discharge;
• reducing the risk of uterine bleeding;
• reducing the risk of malignancy ( malignant degeneration);
• restoration of the normal menstrual cycle.

In rare cases, with a certain type and size of polyps, their disappearance may be observed. However, there is no clear scientific explanation for these exceptions yet. At the same time, according to statistics, such a disappearance of polyps often leads to relapses ( in 11 – 19% of cases). That is, polyps form again after disappearing.

Antibacterial therapy.

Physiotherapy.

In some cases, this intervention will reduce symptoms. However, in adenomatous polyps, it may increase the risk of malignancy. Because of this, the effectiveness of physical therapy is called into question.

Uterine polyps. The doctor says they will resolve on their own.

An ultrasound found 2 polyps in the uterus, one 3 mm, the other 8 mm. The doctor said that it’s okay, nothing needs to be done, it might resolve after a while. Then repeat the ultrasound and that’s it. I found information on the Internet that polyps must be removed and a hysterectomy done. Now I don’t know whether to trust the doctor or not.

Read 66 comments:

Polyps do not resolve on their own - that's a fact! The question is different. Are these polyps at all? A year ago I was in one very good paid medical facility. center they allegedly found a polyp in the uterus. We have already calculated the amount to be paid, what tests to take and when to come for curettage. I'm covered in tears and snot. And then, oh God, I remembered the doctor who cauterized my erosion. I contacted her through connections. She is the best doctor in the city in all fields. I came to her and told her everything. After examining me in the chair, she personally gave me an ultrasound and said it didn’t look like a polyp. Come after your period. There is some kind of formation, perhaps the endometrium is preparing for rejection. My period came a week later and after the ultrasound it was clear. I repeat, he did not come out on his own. 3 doctors told me that polyps do not come out on their own. On what day of your cycle did you have an ultrasound?

Five or six months ago, several ultrasound specialists saw a polyp on me - they said it was a recurrence of the polyp that was removed for me in 2011. Now they don’t see the polyp, there was a pregnancy, but unfortunately it failed

I think it makes sense to do an ultrasound somewhere else. And then you have to think and decide what to do

Sv, it’s the same for me! The months have always been painful, but lately they have become like contractions. And on the ultrasound they saw a polyp of 22 mm and an endometrium of 15.3 - this is at 6 DC. I had the feeling that I was “giving birth.” 8-o

Juka, I also accidentally discovered two polyps on an ultrasound, although I never had any pain or intermenstrual bleeding, and the ultrasound specialist strongly recommended that I remove them, I came to my doctor, and she told me too, let’s wait and drink OK and maybe they will go away on their own, but I still got a referral for hystera, and so afterward the doctor who did it told me that I had multiple polyps there, and they saw two because they had already grown to such a size. They calculated everything for me, and for six months now it’s been pah pah normal, I’ve had an ultrasound twice - there’s nothing. So don’t rely on chance, but go for it, this is my opinion.

I did it in the very middle of the cycle, closer to ovulation.

Juka, do you already have children?

Olga, a polyp may not be noticed if the endometrium has grown.

Although, after B they probably scraped it out? Or it just happened.

In general, polyps, like a spiral, do not allow the embryo to attach. It's better to remove it.

Sv, what if the endometrium is clearly three-layered and grows no more than 11mm? Here, too, can you not see the polyps?

Sv, my G told me that while taking COCs, the polyp could go away if it is glandular, although I myself have a hard time believing that polyps can resolve on their own, but the fact is that the polyp has not been seen for several months, on different endometrium

Once, on an ultrasound, a month after the cleansing, they saw a 13mm formation in my uterus with a feeding vessel, similar to a polyp. It happens that such formations go away, he then told me that it is possible to make an accurate diagnosis and say that it is a polyp only after the hystera. Otherwise, there were no manifestations of the presence of a polyp. I agreed to drink OK, because... I didn’t want to cleanse myself, the memories were still fresh (((in general, I took Jess for a month, then quit because it made me very sick. On the control ultrasound everything was clear. Then I did it again a month later, everything was fine too. This is my story, but I also heard that polyps don’t go away on their own, unfortunately..

Polyps will not resolve on their own. They have a mental blood supply. That is food. I naively lost a couple of years like that. I had to do the hystera anyway.

A polyp can disappear only in one case. If the uzist had problems with vision, I speak not from hearsay.

Agara, I’ll tell you a vivid example. I went for an ultrasound a week ago. To a new place. There's soup Irdoctor. The sensor is abdominal only. Before this I had an ultrasound and everything was clean. It means coming. 6 dc. We find a polyp in the uterus, a week before another uzist was clear. Size PY 40 by 29, L 43 by 25, in PY - DF 12 mm! At 6 DC! Endik 9 mm! I'm in quiet shock. Immediately there are calls to go to the lapara. Etc. going to see my doctor the NEXT DAY! The sensor is vaginal. The results of the ultrasound polyp are NO, the size of the polyp is 35 by 23, the size of the LA is 30 by 25, no DF, endik 5 mm! So there you go. But I made a bunch of diagnoses for myself in one day and blew the baby’s brains out.

Juka, a friend of mine had polyps, she had a curettage done, and after a while she became pregnant. My opinion is to delete, screw it!

Stanumamoi, there is a boy Vityusha, 9 years old.

I apologize, I wrote from my phone, but I re-read it and I don’t understand it myself. Polyps have their OWN BLOOD SUPPLY, I wanted to say, that is, they are constantly fed so that they can live and not bother. That is, they will not disappear on their own. I didn’t want to have a hystera for more than 2 years. I either saw them on the ultrasound, or didn’t see them (sometimes they saw one, sometimes several, sometimes they didn’t see anything at all, although I was always at 5 DC on the ultrasound), I hoped that duphaston would help me, then I started taking Zubitsky's drug TRIZUB for polyplv (I took it for 3 months), but it did not help me after this period (although their other drug helped after a couple of weeks, but this is for the treatment of ovarian dysfunction). That's it, I deleted it in November. And then my endometrium did not grow. And I vividly remembered the picture of how G would again prescribe Divigel for me (and it was from him that I got that polyp during recovery after IR), and I started eating pineapples, and thank God - 14, 4 mm at 21 DC .

Natusya Kharkov, as you read, life is becoming so scary. We go somewhere and trust, and most importantly, sometimes we believe. So I ran around the ultrasound scanner all over my city, and finally found that uzist who didn’t tell me nonsense, that polyps could go away on their own, that they could be of a viral nature and other nonsense, but simply said that a polyp has its own blood supply. And it was like scales fell from my eyes. Why didn’t anyone tell me this before, don’t they really know?!

Nathalie, isn’t 14.5 too much?

Nathalie, yeah. I blew the minds of everyone I could. Fortunately, I went for a second ultrasound the next day. And I went before that. Otherwise, they generally said that the ovaries are the same size as polycystic disease, but they look normal. I raised all my ultrasounds in 10 years. This is the first time this size has been supplied. Well, the next day the size was already 1 cm smaller. I thought, what a mistake. And they gave me photos. I will give a dominant follicle of 12 mm. And then my doctor is on his trail. I didn't even see the day

Stanumamoi, a bit much. Need 11-12 mm

Stanumamoi, I read the norms, there 14.0 is the norm at 21 DC. And in general, this should be the peak for the entire cycle. But, you see, I got 4mm more. I don't think it's scary. The main thing: pineapples rule

Natusya Kharkov, I can’t even look for these standards on the Internet. Where did they get a photo of the follicle?!

Natusya Kharkov, here

Norms for endometrial thickness

1-2 days of the cycle - 0.5-0.9 cm

3-4 days of the cycle - 0.3-0.5 cm

5-7 days of the cycle - 0.6-0.9 cm

8-10 days of the cycle - 0.8-1.0 cm

11-14 days of the cycle - 0.9-1.3 cm

15-18 days of the cycle - 1.0-1.3 cm

19-23 days of the cycle - 1.0-1.4 cm

24-27 days of the cycle - 1.0-1.3 cm

Nathalie, I don't know. And a photo of the polyp. My doctor then did it vaginally 2 times, didn’t find anything and didn’t have anything before. And they looked this way and that. And another doctor was called

Natusya Kharkov, maybe they are dishonest and they just set you up for a lapar, as you say? Although, why lapara, you can just use gister...

Nathalie, maybe. They wanted to send me for diagnostics, but since I had recently had an operation, they decided it was too early

Nathalie, no, if these are the norms, then everything is ok. I haven’t heard of anyone without B having more than 12. And I’ve never grown more than 12. They said everything was fine.

Can a polyp come out along with the endometrium during menstruation?

Many women ask the question: “Can a polyp come out with menstruation or is it impossible to do without surgery?” Polyps are a fairly common disease found in gynecology, when during an ultrasound or routine examination in women, the endometrium is found to extend beyond the uterus in the form of a small growth (up to 1 cm). Then it is necessary to remove the polyp, otherwise it may further degenerate into a cancerous tumor. It is at least unreasonable to hope that it will come out on its own along with menstruation.

Can a polyp come out with menstruation?

Despite the fact that traditional healers assure that it is possible to get rid of a polyp with herbs, doctors state the complexity of such a problem and even hormonal drugs do not always manage to get rid of the scourge completely, but only to achieve its separation from the walls of the uterus.

An independent release of a polyp is simply impossible.

In rare cases, it happens that it resolves spontaneously, but one cannot hope for this and wait for it to degenerate into a malignant tumor. Women are strongly advised to consult a doctor and undergo a histological examination to avoid the development of oncology.

Drug treatment

Polyps are not just growths on the skin or mucous membrane in the uterine cavity. These are proliferations of cells modified by viruses. Such structures are prone to malignancy - degeneration into a cancerous tumor.

It is possible for doctors to prescribe medication with painkillers for cramps and abdominal pain caused by compression of the nerve endings in the tissues by the polyp. The following drugs are usually indicated:

In addition, antiseptics are prescribed to eliminate bacterial complications that lead to pain in the lower abdomen and the discharge of bloody discharge with clots:

To avoid the proliferation of pathogenic microflora and infection in the uterine cavity, the following therapy is prescribed locally:

Treatment with medications has the following advantages:

• allows you to eliminate unpleasant symptoms;
• stops bleeding typical of polyps in the uterus;
• prevents the development of infertility.

Taking hormonal drugs during pregnancy is contraindicated. This is dangerous for the fetus, although the polyp itself does not have much effect on the pregnancy process. Women are still recommended to plan a pregnancy and undergo a full examination before conceiving a baby.

Other treatments

Unfortunately, removing a polyp with medications alone is almost impossible. Taking into account their size and progression, to slow down the growth of the tumor, doctors often resort to hysteroscopy as the most effective and safest method today. It is performed by introducing a video camera with a tube into the uterine cavity, and removal of the formation is carried out by exposing the polyps to high-frequency waves.

Some doctors are still guided by the old method - curettage of polyps from the uterine cavity during surgery under anesthesia. This method is ineffective and painful for the following reasons:

• damages the walls of the uterus;
• leads to bleeding;
• causes complications due to it being carried out almost blindly.

In addition, during curettage, there is a high probability that polyps will not be completely removed. Then you will need to repeat this operation or treat it in a different way.

Regardless of the prescribed method, when adenomatous polyps are identified, surgery cannot be avoided.

Of course, it is impossible to wait for their degeneration into a malignant tumor. It is reasonable to treat with medications after surgery in order to prevent possible exacerbations and relapses in the future.

Is it possible to remove polyps during menstruation?

The day of the menstrual cycle is of great importance when a doctor prescribes surgery. As a rule, the removal of polyps is carried out on the day of the cycle, when the polyps are more visible visually, and it will be much easier for specialists to remove them completely. To the question of whether a polyp is removed during menstruation, it is worth answering unequivocally that surgery to remove polyps is not performed during such a period.

When does menstruation begin after removal?

Typically, menstruation begins 1.5 months after the operation. It all depends on the following factors:

• age;
• the patient's well-being;
• polyp size;
• their tendency to grow rapidly.

A direct role in when the period comes and how long the cycle will be delayed is played by how the woman follows the doctor’s instructions prescribed during the rehabilitation period. If the delay is more than 2 months, then you need to contact a gynecologist to prescribe hormonal drugs with progesterone.

Usually, a removed polyp leads to a change in the nature of menstruation. This is a completely normal reaction of the body to surgery. Most likely, the first periods will be heavy and painful, but in the intervals between them there should be no brown or colorless discharge.

Women need to be careful at first, not lift heavy objects, avoid stress. By the second cycle, your periods should return to normal. After the eradication of polyps from the cervical canal, the first discharge usually appears during the day, but this discharge has nothing to do with menstruation. The uterus is injured and even minor contact leads to bleeding from erosive areas that have not yet healed.

Normally, menstruation will begin the day after surgery. With extensive surgery and removal of many small polyps at once, the delay may be longer. If curettage was performed under anesthesia and nearby healthy tissue layers were affected, and not just those affected by the endometrium, then bleeding immediately after the operation may last more than 10 days. This is a sign that particles of neoplasms may have remained in the uterine cavity; the operation was performed poorly and not in full. Women need to see a doctor. Most likely, the procedure for cleaning the uterine cavity will have to be repeated.

Women need to take care and be more attentive to their health during the recovery period:

• dose physical activity;
• review your diet;
• Avoid sex for at least 2 weeks.

If side unpleasant symptoms appear, you should contact a doctor as soon as possible. The main thing is to take measures to restore the menstrual cycle after removal of polyps, minimize blood loss and prevent infection of the wound in order to avoid problems with conception in the future.

When a doctor suggests an operation to remove tumors, do not be afraid. If the procedure is performed efficiently and the polyps are eliminated in full, the uterus will soon quickly recover and the menstrual cycle will return to normal.

Can an endometrial polyp come out on its own with menstrual flow?

Women quite often ask gynecologists the question: can an endometrial polyp come out with menstruation? As medical practice shows, the answer is negative. You should not count on the fact that the polyp will come out on its own. The disappearance of a polypous formation may be associated with its resorption, but this probability is too small to hope for.

Polypous neoplasm: development dynamics

A polyp in the uterus is a benign formation resulting from the proliferation of endometrial tissue.

Small formations sometimes resolve, but these are rather exceptions to the rule.

An endometrial polyp can remain dormant for a long time, without demonstrating significant development dynamics. The size of the polypous formation can be 2-3 mm, which, in principle, is not yet a sufficient basis for surgical intervention in the course of the pathology. However, there is no reason to hope that such a tumor will come out on its own.

Most likely, after a certain period, the pathological neoplasm will begin to grow and develop. Cases where polypous forms larger than 3 mm in diameter disappeared have not been recorded.

Cervical polyp is quite often subject to mechanical damage and injury received during sex or when using intrauterine contraception. This, in turn, leads to its further growth and the formation of foci of inflammation.

Clinical manifestations

At the beginning of development, polyposis pathology is practically asymptomatic. That is why many women tend to consider polyps a common, but not very dangerous gynecological phenomenon, which does not need to be treated.

When a polypous formation reaches a size exceeding 5 mm, it is at risk of various injuries and damage, becomes inflamed, and quite often succumbs to infection.

If the polyp has formed on a stalk, it may become twisted. All this leads to the fact that a woman begins to experience the following symptoms:

• sharp painful spasms localized in the lower abdomen;
• menstrual irregularities;
• spotting outside the menstrual cycle;
• anemia, frequent attacks of dizziness;
• difficulties with conception, if it was planned.

All these manifestations indicate that the polypous neoplasm is progressing, and you certainly shouldn’t hope to eliminate it on your own. In addition, the type of polypous formation matters.

If a woman is diagnosed with polyposis pathology of the adenomatous type, there can be no talk of any resorption.

The polyp must be urgently eliminated surgically, otherwise there is a critical risk of developing a malignant tumor.

Probability of spontaneous resorption

Can polyps resolve on their own if the cause of their occurrence is a systemic hormonal disorder in the body? Very doubtful.

Sources that promise that a polyp of the cervical canal, for example, can disappear on its own after using some miracle remedy, should not be trusted. Most likely, this is a manipulation of the desire of sick women to avoid surgical intervention.

If a repeated diagnostic examination shows that the polyp has disappeared, this may mean that the pathology has resolved, or it was not initially a polypous formation - but, for example, a normal endometrial fold that was incorrectly interpreted on ultrasound.

In addition, if a polypous formation resolves, this does not mean that the endometrium has returned to normal. Most likely, the influence of the factors that provoked the appearance of the first polyp has not stopped. It is very unreasonable to expect that the next polyps that arise against the background of hormonal disorders or progressive inflammatory processes will also resolve.

The polyp can resolve on its own, but only if it is very small in size (up to 2 mm). Even then, the likelihood of relapse is too high to avoid therapeutic treatment.

Can a uterine polyp come out of the uterus along with menstrual flow? This is a myth spread by fans of various traditional treatment methods, which have not proven their effectiveness in practice.

The influence of polypous formations on the menstrual cycle

The development of polyps has a significant impact on the dynamics of a woman’s menstrual cycle. In particular, with a polypous neoplasm, the following changes in menstruation are recorded:

• periods are more intense and painful;
• the amount of bleeding increases;
• menstruation becomes intermittent - that is, small spotting appears between monthly bleeding;
• slight bleeding is possible before the onset of menstruation;
• the cycle becomes irregular and blurred, long delays are possible (a month or longer).

The presence of bloody discharge of an anovulatory nature, which appears before the onset of menstruation, indicates that an inflammatory process is developing in the polypous neoplasm, possibly with an infectious lesion. And this can lead to serious pathological transformations in the reproductive system and even the development of infertility.

Therefore, it is under no circumstances recommended to guess whether an endometrial polyp can come out along with menstruation. This assumption contradicts medical statistics and the very nature of the occurrence and clinical behavior of polyposis neoplasms.

Precedents for when a polyp came out of the uterine cavity with menstruation are not known to gynecology. In some cases, the patient may notice enlargements and fragments in the menstrual discharge that resemble a polypous formation.

However, it is impossible to determine the true origin of such material without special laboratory tests. If possible, menstrual tissue should be placed in a saline solution and provided to the attending physician for further testing. Most likely, it will be discovered that this was the release of dead endometrium, which cannot completely leave the uterine cavity during menstruation, due to the specific location of the polypous neoplasm.

To refuse professional diagnosis and timely treatment of polypous tumors means to risk developing infertility or cancer.

Having the time necessary for treatment, you should not waste it waiting for the body to resolve the polypous form on its own.

Can a uterine polyp resolve on its own?

Many women wonder whether the polyp comes out on its own or does surgery require? Polyps are common compared to other gynecological diseases. They represent the growth of mucous membrane in a limited area, while the rest of the tissue remains normal.

The disease may not be detected at the initial stage because it is quite difficult to notice, especially when the polyp is still very small and solitary. As a rule, uterine polyposis is diagnosed accidentally during a routine examination or when visiting a gynecologist with another problem. Ultrasound and hysteroscopy are used for diagnosis. The polyp is noticeable at the stage when it already extends beyond the border of the endometrium and acquires a size of 1 cm. Using ultrasound, you can detect very small formations that do not yet give any symptoms.

Outgrowths are treated mainly surgically. Many women do not want to have surgery for various reasons and wonder whether a polyp can resolve on its own and come out with menstrual flow? Is it necessary to remove these formations and treat them? How effective are folk remedies in treating this disease?

There is a lot of evidence that formations resolve on their own and without the use of drugs. However, after all the circumstances are clarified, it turns out that the polyp was either very small, or folk remedies were used to eliminate it. Almost never endometrial polyps come out with menstruation and you shouldn’t hope for it. To understand the cause of the disease and the likelihood of self-healing, you need to understand the problem in more detail.

What types of polyps are there and what are their features?

A polyp in the uterus in girls and women of reproductive age occurs in the form of a glandular formation, and in old age adenomatous and fibrous polyps are usually diagnosed.

If the doctor has diagnosed an adenomatous polyp, then you should not expect that it will resolve on its own or come out of the uterus during menstruation. This type of formation is very dangerous and needs to be removed urgently because such a formation can turn into cancer. If malignant degeneration has begun and the polyp is larger, then doctors may offer the patient removal of the appendages or even the uterus along with the malignant tumor. This is sometimes necessary to save a woman’s life.

Other types of endometrial polyps can also malignize (become malignant). If such tumors are large and there are several of them, then you should not wait until they resolve, most likely this will not happen. It is advisable to begin treatment immediately after confirmation of the diagnosis. This will avoid complications and risks.

Hormone therapy is very often used for uterine polyps. There are cases where hormonal drugs correctly selected by the attending physician led to the fact that the polyp resolved and did not recur. All gynecologists claim that there have been no such cases in practice when a polyp came out with menstrual flow.

Why are polyps dangerous and why should you not delay treatment?

The danger of the disease is that with polyps, a woman often loses a lot of blood. Moreover, blood loss may be associated with menstruation or not at all related to them. As the endometrium grows, the duration of menstruation increases, therefore the body loses more blood. Your periods are heavy and often painful.

Bleeding not associated with menstruation can be scanty (spotting) or quite heavy. This is an alarming sign and refusal of treatment can subsequently lead to anemia, which takes a long time to cure. If you are diagnosed with a uterine polyp, you should monitor the amount of blood that comes out during your period. If blood loss increases, you should contact your doctor.

Infertility is a fairly common problem these days. And if you have uterine polyps, they could be the cause of infertility. Until the formations are removed and the patient undergoes the necessary course of treatment, the chances of becoming pregnant will be minimal.

What a uterine polyp looks like is shown on an ultrasound in this video:

The polyp itself will not be able to come out. In addition, polyps are often associated with hormonal disorders in the body, which also negatively affect a woman’s fertility.

The polyp may not resolve, but you will lose time that should be spent on treatment. The presence of such formations is often accompanied by infectious diseases of the female genital organs and a chronic inflammatory process. All this, in addition to infertility, leads to serious complications that can be life-threatening and will have a very negative impact on your health and well-being in the future.

Endometrial growth is a rather dangerous disease, which is best treated promptly after its detection. And only this method of treatment can reduce all risks and the likelihood of complications.

What is the likelihood that polyps will disappear on their own?

The probability is very low. Medical specialists may tell you that you should not hope for this. Rather, this phenomenon is an exception to the rule. In addition, if endometrial growth was not detected in the next study, then it might not be a polyp, because even modern diagnostic methods sometimes provide erroneous information.

Many traditional methods of treatment claim that after therapy the polyp comes out with menstruation. This cannot happen and you should not trust such treatment methods. It is best not to hope for a miracle of self-healing and listen to the doctor’s recommendations.

Polyps of the reproductive organ are benign formations, which are characterized by localized growth of the mucous surface of the uterus in the form of a tubercle on a thin stalk. Each patient, having received such a diagnosis, wants to know as much as possible about the disease.

So, in particular, many patients are interested in whether an endometrial polyp can resolve? Indeed, there were cases where the growths disappeared by themselves and without the use of medications. However, after all the circumstances are clarified, it turns out that the education was very small. Almost never growths come out with menstruation, and you should not count on such an outcome. To determine the cause of the pathology and the possibility of self-healing, it is necessary to understand the situation in more detail.

An endometrial polyp can be located in the uterine cavity and in the cervix of the organ, and can be single or multiple. Growths often develop against the background of pathological (excessive) growth of the endometrium—hyperplasia.

How quickly an endometrial polyp grows is another pressing question that worries patients, but it also does not have a clear answer. It all depends on what type of polyp is detected in the patient. Endometrial polyps vary in size and histological structure. A number of formations are distinguished:

• Adenomatous polyp of the reproductive organ can be called the largest type. The diameter of the growths can be 4 cm, but there are also very large formations, 10-15 cm in diameter;
• A glandular polyp is formed from endometrial tissue and glands. These are small formations, the diameter of which, as a rule, does not exceed 1.5 cm. They do not pose a danger and almost never turn into cancer.
• Fibrous growth in the reproductive organ. These are very hard and quite noticeable formations, including fibrous tissue;
• Glandular fibrous growth in the uterus. It belongs to the mixed type, the size can reach up to 3 cm in diameter.

Endometrial polyp symptoms

Small-sized formations (up to several millimeters) are detected by a specialist during the study and do not manifest themselves symptomatically. With large polyps of a larger size (more than a centimeter), the following complaints are possible:

• long and intense periods;
• strong or spotting secretion with blood in the period between menstruation;
• uterine bleeding in postmenopausal patients;
• cramping pain in the area under the navel;
• infertility.

Ultrasound examination helps determine the echo signs of an endometrial polyp. It is best to undergo an ultrasound immediately after the critical days.

Causes of endometrial polyp

The development of growths is explained by the fact that the hormonal activity of the ovaries is disrupted due to too much estrogen and lack of progesterone. The cause of glandular growths of the endometrium is usually problems in the functionality of the endocrine system, especially in patients with excess weight, hypertension and other health problems. Problems with the epithelium of the inner layer of the uterus, curettage of the organ cavity, termination of pregnancy - all these factors increase the risk of growths.

Why is an endometrial polyp dangerous?

Many people put off visiting a doctor and the treatment of this pathology until later, trying not to notice disturbing manifestations. But such frivolity is fraught with serious consequences.
Medical specialists call formations in the reproductive organ a precancerous situation. The most tragic consequence of endometrial growths is their transformation into cancer.
The growths also cause disruption of the monthly cycle, the inability to conceive a child, and problems with a favorable outcome of carrying an embryo if conception has already occurred.
Infertility is diagnosed when growths in the uterus appear due to hormonal imbalance. The growths disrupt the integrity of the endometrium, and, therefore, the chances that the fertilized egg will successfully implant are very low. In addition, due to formations in the uterine cavity during pregnancy, bleeding occurs, which causes placental abruption. Also, formations lead to disruption of the uteroplacental blood supply, which leads to oxygen starvation of the embryo, delayed fetal development, and placental insufficiency. Therefore, the best option is to remove the formations. The patient’s condition and discharge after hysteroscopy of the endometrial polyp are subsequently observed by a doctor.

Lyubov Mikhailovna asks:

Can uterine polyps go away on their own?

In the vast majority of cases uterine polyps do not resolve in response to drug treatment or physical therapy. Neoplasms consist of mature tissue that reacts poorly to any external or internal influences. However, many patients mistakenly believe that a number of procedures and special treatments can get rid of polyps without surgery. To clarify these misconceptions, it is necessary to analyze in detail the features of the therapeutic effect of each of the possible methods.

For uterine polyps, the following treatment methods are often used:
1. surgery;
2. hormone therapy;
3. antibacterial therapy;
4. physiotherapy;
5. traditional medicine.

Surgery.

Thus, the following methods for removing polyps can be distinguished:

• hysteroscopic transection of the pedicle;
• unscrewing the leg;
• cryodestruction ( destruction of tissue under the influence of low temperatures);

Hormone therapy.

The main effects of hormonal therapy for uterine polyps are:

• elimination of pain syndrome;
• stopping the growth of polyps ( but not their reduction in size);
• reduction or elimination of vaginal discharge;
• reducing the risk of uterine bleeding;
• reducing the risk of malignancy ( malignant degeneration);
• restoration of the normal menstrual cycle.

Antibacterial therapy.

Physiotherapy.

Physiotherapy treatments for polyps may include:

• ultrasound;
• laser therapy;
• electrical stimulation;

Traditional medicine.

Moreover, you should not count on the resorption of polyps without any treatment at all. This tactic can waste valuable time. The presence of polyps in the uterine cavity is always associated with a certain risk of complications, the most dangerous of which is uterine cancer. In addition, there is always a danger of severe bleeding or infertility. To protect yourself from this, if you discover uterine polyps, you should immediately consult a doctor and discuss the possibility of their removal.
