Endometrial Polypectomy
Polypectomy refers to the removal of a polyp. Polyps can grow in several areas of the body including sinuses and the colon as well as the endometrium (the lining of the uterus). Polyps are tissue areas that “grow too much. ” Polyps are generally small and usually do not cause symptoms but if they do, symptoms may include heavy periods, longer periods or bleeding between periods or after intercourse. Polyps can often easily be removed using a hysteroscope, as an outpatient.
