What are Uterine polyps?

Uterine polyps are growths caused by endometrial enlargement, which is the inner lining of the uterus. As a result, they are also known as endometrial polyps.

A small stalk or a wide base connects them to the endometrium. If an endometrial polyp is linked to the uterine surface by a thin elongated pedicle, it is called pedunculated; if it has a wide flat base, it is called sessile.

They grow into the cavity of the uterus and sometimes when large can even protrude through the cervix and rare cases through the vagina.

Polyps may be round or oval in shape and can vary in size from a few millimeters to a few centimeters or even greater. There might be one or several polyps present.
