The endometrial polyp is considered a focal variant of endometrial hyperplasia. In other words, polyp is the pathology of the uterine mucosa. For qualitative treatment of endometrial polyps, correct diagnosis is important.
Variety and Symptoms of Polyps
Physicians divide this disease into several varieties. Polyps grow most often on the basis of the basal layer and can be of the following types:
- fibrous (from connective spindle-shaped tissue);
- glandular-cystic (from spindle-shaped connective tissue and a large number of glands);
- glandular fibrous (of spindle-shaped connective tissue and a small number of glands).
Symptoms of this disease can be completely different. The most revealing are:
- uterine bleeding;
- malfunctions of the menstrual cycle;
- cramping pain;
- abundant secretion of whiter.
Diagnostics
Modern medicine for the diagnosis of the polyps of the endometrium uses a number of examinations:
- Hysteroscopy, which is recognized as the best method for detecting neoplasms of female organs. Only this way you can find polyps in the corners and at the bottom of the uterus. With the help of hysteroscopy, the removal of endometrial polyps is performed by visually monitoring the uterine cavity.
- Ultrasound of the small pelvis. This method of diagnosis can detect polyps of glandular fibrous and fibrous species.
- Histological analysis of scrapings to determine the structure of the polyp.
Treatment of the endometrial polyp of the uterus
After a complete examination of the patient and the diagnosis, the doctor prescribes therapy. All patients are offered surgical intervention, controlled by a hysteroscope. Unfortunately, the treatment of endometrial polyps without surgery is impossible. Transvaginally using endoscopic equipment, remove the polyp, then scrape the uterine cavity. When the size of the outgrowth is larger (more than 1 cm), the operation is performed by the "untwisting" method. A similar procedure is called a polypectomy. To avoid re-treatment, the endometrium polygon's foot is removed with a hysteroresectoscope loop.
The next stage is cauterization of the place from which the tumor was removed, liquid nitrogen or electric current. To prevent relapse, it is considered mandatory. Follow-up ultrasound is performed in a few days.
Treatment after removal of the endometrial polyp
Treatment is carried out only with the help of hystrascopy and subsequent scraping, when the endometrial polyp has a fibrous structure. Treatment of glandular polyps of the endometrium also includes hormonal therapy of a woman aimed at restoring her hormonal background and menstrual cycle. The treatment regimen for glandular fibrotic polyps of the endometrium is similar.
When diagnosing the adenomatous form of the polyp, removal of the uterus is indicated. If the patient has an oncological predisposition and endocrine disorders, it is recommended to remove the appendages with the uterus.
Recovery after surgery most often
Treatment of the endometrial polyp with folk remedies is a series of recipes based on natural products. Such methods of therapy can have a healing effect, but one should not hope for them. Folk treatment of the endometrial polyp is recommended to practice only after consultation with the attending physician. In the worst case, you can not only not help, but also hurt yourself.
