Usually, postmenopausal bleeding caused by the polyps will warn women to seek care. Tests to find the polyps include an exam of the female sex organs and an ultrasound, a test using sound waves to view the lining inside the womb. Another test, called a hysteroscopy, uses a small telescope to look inside the womb. This is used to find and remove the polyps for a closer exam under the microscope. Once removed, the growths can grow again but it usually will be years later.
Most polyps grow very slowly.
Rarely is major surgery needed for polyps, unless they are found to be precancerous or cancerous. All Rights Reserved. 101 Sivley Road. All rights reserved. Use the Category option to reveal the 54 Health Information Topic Categories.
