Does a 1 cm endometrial polyp require surgery?

Whether a 1 cm endometrial polyp requires surgery should be determined based on the specific situation. If the clinical symptoms are not obvious, surgery is usually not required. If the clinical symptoms are more obvious, surgery is usually required, and the appropriate surgical method can be selected under the guidance of a doctor.

Endometrial polyps are mainly caused by excessive growth of the local endometrium of the uterus. The cause of the disease may be related to excessive estrogen levels or long-term stimulation by gynecological inflammation. If the endometrial polyp is 1 cm, but the clinical symptoms are not obvious and there is no obvious impact on physical health and normal life, surgery is not required for the time being, but regular check-ups are required according to the doctor's advice.

If the number of endometrial polyps is relatively large and has caused obvious clinical symptoms, such as intermenstrual bleeding, excessive menstrual flow, postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, etc., surgery is usually required. Otherwise, it will increase the difficulty of treatment and increase the risk of surgery. It can usually be treated under the doctor's operation through hysteroscopic endometrial polyp removal, endometrial resection and other surgical methods.

After the operation, you need to pay attention to rest more and ensure adequate sleep. You also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood and avoid large fluctuations in emotions.
