Uterine polyps are growths that develop in the inner lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. Although many polyps are benign, they can sometimes cause irregular menstrual bleeding, heavy periods, bleeding after menopause, or difficulties with conception. Hysteroscopic polypectomy in Mumbai is a minimally invasive procedure that helps remove these growths and address related symptoms. Identifying and treating uterine polyps can support reproductive health and help doctors investigate underlying causes of abnormal bleeding.
Hysteroscopic polypectomy in Mumbai is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the uterine cavity and remove polyps with the help of a hysteroscope. Unlike conventional surgery that requires an abdominal incision, hysteroscopic polypectomy allows the doctor to access the uterus through the vagina and cervix.
Dr. Maitreyee Parulekar, a specialist in gynaecological surgery and minimally invasive procedures, offers evaluation and individualized treatment planning for women experiencing uterine polyps and related gynaecological concerns. At Kirit Nursing Home, patients can discuss their symptoms, diagnostic findings, and suitable treatment options with a qualified specialist.
**Hysteroscopic polypectomy in Mumbai is a procedure in which a doctor removes uterine polyps using a thin instrument called a hysteroscope. The instrument contains a camera and light, allowing the doctor to view the inside of the uterus on a screen and remove polyps with precision.**
Specialized instruments are passed through the hysteroscope to remove the polyp while allowing the doctor to examine the surrounding uterine lining. The removed tissue is generally sent to a laboratory for histopathological examination to confirm its nature.
The procedure is commonly recommended for women with symptomatic polyps, abnormal uterine bleeding, or selected fertility-related concerns. The exact approach depends on the size, number, and location of the polyps, along with the patient’s symptoms and medical history.
Because the procedure does not usually require abdominal incisions, recovery may be quicker than with more invasive surgical approaches.
Uterine polyps, also called endometrial polyps, develop when cells in the uterine lining grow excessively and form localized projections into the uterine cavity. They can vary in size and may occur individually or in groups.
Some women have no symptoms, and polyps are discovered incidentally during an ultrasound or fertility evaluation. Others experience symptoms that affect their daily routines or reproductive health.
Common signs and symptoms include:
The exact cause of uterine polyps is not always clear. Hormonal influences, particularly oestrogen, are thought to contribute to their development. Age, certain medical conditions, and hormonal medication may also influence risk.
Although most endometrial polyps are benign, examination of the removed tissue is important, especially when bleeding occurs after menopause or other concerning features are present.
