Uterine Polyps
A uterine polyp, also known as an endometrial polyp, is an abnormal growth that arises from the endometrium, the lining of the uterus, and fills places as small as the uterine cavity or as large as it can. It has blood vessels, glands, and stroma. Both the reproductive and postmenopausal phases of life include them. The majority of polyps are found in the fundus, frequently in the corneal region, where curettage removal presents clear technical challenges. They can be detected in all age groups and range in size from about 5 mm to as large as occupying the entire uterine cavity, but they are most prevalent in people between the ages of 40 and 49.
Endometrial polyps are classified as pedunculated if they have a narrow, elongated pedicle connecting them to the uterine surface; sessile if they have a broad, flat base and no stalk. The color is tan to yellow, and the gross morphological appearance is smooth, spherical, or cylindrical in shape. When uterine polyps are present, the endometrium can range from a typical cycling endometrium to simple or complex hyperplasia, and endometrial cancer is occasionally discovered. The most common problematic finding in the uterus is uterine polyps, which are often benign lesions. Although the actual prevalence of uterine polyps is unknown, Dreisler et al. found that 82% of the women with polyps that had been histopathologically confirmed were asymptomatic. Nevertheless, 35% of infertility cases and 50% of irregular uterine bleeding have been linked to uterine polyps.
