Which specialist treats endometrial polyps?

Endometrial polyps are growths from the lining of the womb. They may cause bleeding between periods, breakthrough bleeding, heavier periods, or bleeding after menopause, though some cause no symptoms. A gynaecologist reviews your age, bleeding pattern, pregnancy plans, medicines, and scan findings. The appearance and symptoms help determine whether observation, further investigation, or removal is suitable.

Arrange a gynaecology appointment with any unexpected or persistent bleeding, and take a list of medicines and previous scan reports. Diagnostic Hysteroscopy can look directly inside the womb and may allow a sample. Hysteroscopic Polypectomy removes a polyp through the vagina and cervix without an abdominal incision. Ask whether tissue will be sent for laboratory examination and how results will be communicated.

Seek prompt review for bleeding after menopause, repeated bleeding between periods, or bleeding that is becoming heavier. Get urgent help if bleeding is heavy enough to cause faintness or severe weakness, or if fever and worsening pain develop after a procedure.

Ask whether the polyp explains the bleeding, what the scan shows, and why removal or observation is recommended. Discuss anaesthesia, recovery, fertility plans, possible recurrence, and the timing of tissue results.
