Will endometrial polyps increase in number?

Endometrial polyps generally do not get larger after removal, but they may recur.

Endometrial polyps are a common gynecological disease, which is related to factors such as excessive hormone levels in the body and inflammatory stimulation. If endometrial polyps have obvious symptoms, they can be treated surgically. Most patients will have symptoms that disappear after surgery and will not increase. However, some women have excessively high hormone levels, which can stimulate endometrial hyperplasia and lead to recurrence of endometrial polyps. Long-term inflammatory stimulation can also lead to recurrence of endometrial polyps.

If the patient has completed childbearing or has no recent plans to have children, after polypectomy, short-term contraceptives can be used as recommended by the doctor to reduce the risk of recurrence, such as ethinyl estradiol cyproterone acetate tablets, drospirenone ethinyl estradiol tablets, desogestrel ethinyl estradiol tablets, etc., and the levonorgestrel intrauterine contraceptive system can also be used. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted as recommended by the doctor after the operation. If recurrence occurs, treatment can be conducted again. Pay attention to personal hygiene after the operation, do not take a bath or have sex within one month, and pay attention to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
