Removal of the endometrial polyp

Despite the fact that the surgery refers to the methods of radical treatment, in the case of the polyp of the endometrium, its removal is perhaps the only cure option. However, before it is carried out, a woman is subjected to numerous examinations that can accurately determine the cause of the disease, which in the future will help to avoid its recurrence.

How is polyp removed in the uterine endometrium?

The main method of removing the polyp of the uterine endometrium is hysteroscopy. Thus it is possible to allocate one more way of treatment of the given pathology - medical-diagnostic curettage. For a very long time, this method was the main one in the treatment of polyps. The disadvantage of this procedure was the fact that it was conducted almost blindly, i.e. the surgeon did not know the exact location of the polyp, and the curette was scraped away practically by the entire uterine endometrium, carrying out a so-called "cleansing".

Today, any operation to remove the polyp of the endometrium is performed by the method of hysteroscopy. This device allows you to accurately determine the localization of the neoplasm in the uterus, and also provides an opportunity to view its structure using video equipment.

Also, recently, the method, which involves the removal of the endometrial polyp by the laser, is gaining increasing popularity. This method is less traumatic, because involves the gradual excision of the tissues of the neoplasm. As you can see from the title, a laser acts as a scalpel.

What should be considered and how to behave after removal of the polyp?

In order to reduce the likelihood of recurrence of the disease to a minimum, it is necessary to adhere to certain rules, namely:

1. Eliminate sexual intercourse for a while.
2. Observe the regime.
3. Fully implement the recommendations and appointments of a doctor.

As a rule, during 2-3 months after the operation, a woman is under the supervision of a gynecologist.
