The evaluation of heavy, irregular bleeding often involves the evaluation of the uterine cavity lining, called the endometrium.
Endometrial polyps can be a source of bleeding in many women.
These polyps are troublesome, because they are less than adequately treated with medications. Fortunately, they are usually benign. Surgical therapy is quite commonly recommended. Options for surgical therapy revolve around removing the polyps via a variety of procedures versus a hysterectomy. They retrospectively studied 78 women with endometrial polyps diagnosed by a special ultrasound, called sonohysterography.
