Uterine Polyp Treatment in Busan, Korea

Uterine polyps, also known as endometrial polyps, are common non-cancerous growths that form in the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium). While some women experience no symptoms, others may develop abnormal bleeding, heavy periods, or difficulty becoming pregnant.

At Seomyeon Glory Women's Clinic, our experienced English-speaking OBGYN specialists provide accurate diagnosis using modern gynecological imaging and individualized treatment plans designed to relieve symptoms, preserve fertility, and improve overall reproductive health.

What Are Uterine Polyps?

Uterine polyps are soft overgrowths of the endometrial tissue that lines the inside of the uterus.

Polyps may:

• Be small or large
• Occur as a single polyp or multiple polyps
• Remain inside the uterus
• Occasionally extend through the cervix

Most uterine polyps are benign (non-cancerous), although some may require further evaluation to rule out precancerous or cancerous changes, particularly after menopause.

Symptoms of Uterine Polyps

Many women have no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include:

• Abnormal uterine bleeding
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Irregular menstrual periods
• Bleeding between periods
• Bleeding after sexual intercourse
• Bleeding after menopause
• Difficulty becoming pregnant
• Recurrent miscarriage in some cases

Persistent abnormal bleeding should always be evaluated by an OBGYN.

Who Is at Risk?

Uterine polyps are more common in women who:

• Are between 40 and 50 years of age
• Are approaching menopause
• Have hormonal imbalances
• Are overweight or obese
• Have high blood pressure
• Take certain hormone-related medications

Although uterine polyps can occur at any reproductive age, they are most frequently diagnosed during perimenopause.

How Are Uterine Polyps Diagnosed?

Your evaluation may include:

• Medical history review
• Symptom assessment
• Pelvic examination
• Pelvic ultrasound
• Saline infusion sonography (when appropriate)
• Hysteroscopy
• Endometrial biopsy if indicated
• Blood tests
• Pregnancy test when appropriate

Pelvic ultrasound is often the first step in identifying uterine polyps, while hysteroscopy allows direct visualization and treatment when necessary.

Treatment for Uterine Polyps

Treatment depends on your symptoms, the size of the polyps, your age, and your fertility goals.

Treatment options may include:

• Observation and regular monitoring
• Hormonal therapy
• Follow-up pelvic ultrasound
• Hysteroscopic polypectomy (polyp removal)
• Endometrial biopsy when indicated
• Fertility evaluation
• Long-term follow-up care

Hysteroscopic removal is a minimally invasive procedure that allows precise removal of uterine polyps while preserving the uterus.

Can Uterine Polyps Affect Fertility?

Yes. Some uterine polyps may interfere with embryo implantation or increase the risk of miscarriage.

Removing symptomatic or large polyps may improve fertility outcomes in women who are trying to conceive. Our specialists provide individualized fertility evaluations and treatment recommendations based on your reproductive goals.
