Polyps & Fibroids Treatment

Polyps & Fibroids Treatment

Our clinic offers diagnosis and treatments for patients with uterine polyps and/or fibroids, helping you better understand the condition and treatment options available.

Very often uterine fibroids and polyps do not have any symptoms and are common growths of the uterus. In those who do have symptoms it can be influenced by the location, size, and number of polyps and fibroids. 

Some polyps and fibroids may resolve on their own or maybe not require any form of treatment if they are small and asymptomatic. They will be monitored as per the gynaecologist. This is called watchful waiting.

Uterine polyps

Appearance of uterine polyps may be linked to changes in hormonal levels. Each month the oestrogen levels rise, and fall causing the lining of the uterus to thicken and then shed during menstruation. Polyps form when too much of the lining grows. When they grow larger, uterine polyps treatment options may become necessary.

A woman might be at higher risk of polyps due to:

-Obesity

-High blood pressure 

-If they have been on the breast cancer drug Tamoxifen.

Common Symptoms of Uterine Polyps are:​

-Heavy, painful, or irregular periods

-Vaginal bleeding after menopause 

-Frequency in urination 

-Constipation

-Pain in the stomach or lower back during intercourse 

-Bleeding between periods 

-Tiredness due to anaemia 

-Infertility problems

Diagnosis and Treatment of Uterine Polyps

Uterine polyps can be diagnosed and examined during a Transvaginal scan done in the outpatient setting at the patients first appointment with the Gynaecologist (this can be done if you are having your period on the day of the scan).

At this stage the consultant will decide whether a hysteroscopy is appropriate or not. Hysteroscopy will not be done on the same day as your initial outpatient appointment. There is a likelihood that the polyp will be removed during hysteroscopy procedure.

If there is a requirement for an endometrial biopsy the tissue will be sent to the labs for analysis.
