Uterine polyp removal Doctors in Jordan

Uterine polyp removal is a procedure in which a polyp growing from the lining of the uterus or from the cervix is excised and sent for histological examination. In most cases it is now performed through a hysteroscope: a slim telescope passed through the vagina and cervix with no abdominal incision, so the surgeon sees the polyp directly and removes it from its base under vision. The procedure is usually considered for abnormal bleeding: bleeding between periods, heavy periods, spotting after intercourse, or any bleeding after the menopause, which must never be ignored and always requires full assessment. It is also considered in delayed conception or failed embryo implantation when a polyp lies inside the cavity, and when a polyp grows or looks suspicious on imaging. A small polyp found incidentally without symptoms in a woman of reproductive age may simply be monitored, and suitability is determined by clinical examination and imaging rather than by reading online. One of the most important things to understand is that histology is a non-negotiable part of the procedure. The great majority of polyps are benign, but a small proportion can harbour pre-cancerous change or endometrial cancer, particularly after the menopause or in the presence of other risk factors. For that reason imaging alone is not relied upon, nor is the appearance of the polyp during hysteroscopy; the excised tissue is sent for examination and the result is discussed at the review appointment. This is also why technique matters. Traditional blind curettage may miss a polyp altogether, or remove only part of it and leave the base behind, so hysteroscopically guided excision that visualises and removes the base completely is preferred. The limits should be equally clear: removing a polyp does not correct every cause of bleeding, since a hormonal imbalance, thyroid disorder, fibroids, a clotting disorder or endometrial disease may coexist. It does not guarantee pregnancy even though it improves the uterine environment, and new polyps can form afterwards in some women, so follow-up remains necessary. The procedure itself is short and most women go home the same day, but it remains a medical procedure under anaesthesia with a small number of risks that are explained in advance, including bleeding, infection and, rarely, perforation of the uterus.
