What Are Endometrial Polyps?
Endometrial polyps are growths that arise from the lining of the womb (endometrium). They can vary in size and number and may occur in women of any age, although they are more common during the years leading up to menopause and after menopause. Most endometrial polyps are benign and do not cause serious health problems.
Many endometrial polyps cause no symptoms and are discovered incidentally during ultrasound scans or other investigations. However, some women experience symptoms such as heavy periods, irregular bleeding, bleeding between periods, postmenopausal bleeding, or fertility problems. Because these symptoms can overlap with other gynaecological conditions, specialist assessment is important to confirm the diagnosis and determine whether treatment is required.
Common Symptoms of Endometrial Polyps
Some women with endometrial polyps have no symptoms and only discover they have a polyp during investigations for unrelated concerns. Others experience symptoms that can significantly affect their quality of life and may interfere with day-to-day activities.
Common symptoms include heavy periods, irregular bleeding, bleeding between periods, prolonged periods, postmenopausal bleeding, and difficulty conceiving. Because these symptoms can overlap with other gynaecological conditions, specialist assessment is often important in obtaining an accurate diagnosis and ensuring appropriate treatment.
When Should You See a Specialist?
You should consider specialist assessment if you are experiencing heavy periods, irregular bleeding, bleeding between periods, or postmenopausal bleeding. Changes in your normal bleeding pattern should not be ignored, and any abnormal bleeding should be investigated to identify the underlying cause and ensure appropriate treatment.
Assessment is particularly important if symptoms are affecting your quality of life, becoming more frequent, or if you have fertility concerns. Early diagnosis can provide reassurance, help exclude more serious conditions, and guide the most appropriate treatment for your individual needs.
Endometrial Polyp Diagnosis
Diagnosing endometrial polyps involves understanding your symptoms and carrying out appropriate investigations. At Gynaecology Clinic London, your consultation will include a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and any concerns you may have.
Investigations may include pelvic ultrasound scanning, hysteroscopy, and other specialist tests where appropriate. These investigations can help confirm the diagnosis, assess the size and location of the polyp, and determine whether treatment is recommended. Our aim is to provide an accurate diagnosis and develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your symptoms, reproductive health, and individual needs.
Endometrial Polyp Treatment Options
Monitoring and Follow-Up
Small polyps that are not causing symptoms may sometimes be monitored, particularly when they are discovered incidentally.
Hysteroscopic Polyp Removal
Hysteroscopy allows endometrial polyps to be removed safely and accurately while providing a detailed assessment of the inside of the womb.
Investigation of Abnormal Bleeding
Further assessment may be recommended to determine whether other factors are contributing to heavy or irregular bleeding.
Fertility Assessment
Endometrial polyps can sometimes affect fertility, and treatment may be recommended as part of fertility investigations or pregnancy planning.
Histological Examination
Polyps removed during treatment are routinely sent for laboratory analysis to confirm the diagnosis and exclude abnormal changes.
Ongoing Monitoring and Follow-Up
Further review may be recommended depending on your symptoms, age, fertility plans, and individual circumstances to ensure appropriate ongoing care.
Endometrial Polyps and Fertility
Endometrial polyps can sometimes affect fertility by interfering with implantation and may contribute to difficulties conceiving in some women. For this reason, treatment may be recommended when polyps are identified during fertility investigations or before certain fertility treatments.
At Gynaecology Clinic London, our experienced consultant gynaecologists provide personalised advice regarding fertility and reproductive health. We help women understand the potential impact of endometrial polyps and, where appropriate, recommend treatment aimed at optimising reproductive health and improving the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Endometrial Polyps and Abnormal Bleeding
Abnormal bleeding is one of the most common symptoms associated with endometrial polyps. Heavy periods, irregular bleeding, bleeding between periods, and postmenopausal bleeding should always be properly assessed to identify the underlying cause and ensure appropriate treatment.
At Gynaecology Clinic London, our experienced consultant gynaecologists provide prompt access to specialist investigations and treatment. By establishing an accurate diagnosis, we aim to help women obtain answers, achieve effective symptom relief, and regain confidence and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are endometrial polyps cancerous?
Most endometrial polyps are benign and do not pose a serious health risk. However, because a small proportion may contain abnormal or precancerous changes, polyps removed during treatment are routinely sent for laboratory analysis to confirm the diagnosis and provide reassurance.
Do all endometrial polyps need to be removed?
Not always. Small polyps that are not causing symptoms may sometimes be monitored. However, removal is often recommended if a polyp is causing abnormal bleeding, is discovered after menopause, or is identified during fertility investigations. Your consultant will discuss the most appropriate approach based on your individual circumstances.
How are endometrial polyps removed?
Endometrial polyps are most commonly removed during a hysteroscopy. This minimally invasive procedure allows your consultant to examine the inside of the womb and remove the polyp safely and accurately, often avoiding the need for more invasive surgery.
Is endometrial polyp removal painful?
Most women tolerate treatment well and experience only mild discomfort or cramping. Your consultant will explain the procedure in detail beforehand and discuss the most appropriate options to ensure you are as comfortable and reassured as possible throughout treatment.
Can endometrial polyps come back?
Yes. Although treatment is usually successful, endometrial polyps can occasionally recur. Depending on your symptoms, age, and medical history, your consultant may recommend follow-up to monitor your ongoing gynaecological health.
Can I get pregnant with an endometrial polyp?
Many women with endometrial polyps conceive naturally and go on to have successful pregnancies. However, in some cases, polyps may interfere with implantation or contribute to fertility problems. Treatment may improve reproductive outcomes in selected women.
What happens after an endometrial polyp is removed?
Following removal, the polyp is routinely sent for laboratory analysis to confirm the diagnosis and exclude abnormal changes. Most women recover quickly, and your consultant will discuss the results and whether any further treatment or follow-up is required.
Do endometrial polyps become more common after menopause?
Yes. Endometrial polyps are more common during the years leading up to menopause and after menopause. Because postmenopausal bleeding should always be investigated, specialist assessment is important to identify the cause and ensure appropriate management.
