About uterine (endometrial) polyps
Endometrial polyps are finger-like or rounded growths attached to the inner wall of the uterus. They range from a few millimetres to a few centimetres and may be single or multiple. They are linked to hormonal factors, particularly oestrogen, and are more common after 40.
Many polyps cause no symptoms. When they do, the usual signs are irregular bleeding, heavy periods or spotting, and they can contribute to infertility or miscarriage. Diagnosis is by ultrasound and hysteroscopy, and removal (polypectomy) is often advised if they cause symptoms or for fertility, since polyps can rarely contain abnormal cells.
Common symptoms of uterine (endometrial) polyps
Symptoms vary from person to person. Common ones include:
- Irregular menstrual bleeding
- Heavy periods
- Spotting between periods or after intercourse
- Bleeding after menopause
- Difficulty conceiving or repeated miscarriage
- Often no symptoms
Causes and risk factors of uterine (endometrial) polyps
There is rarely a single cause. Factors that may contribute include:
- Hormonal factors, particularly raised oestrogen

Frequently asked questions about uterine (endometrial) polyps
1. Are uterine polyps cancerous?
Most are benign. A small percentage, particularly after menopause, can contain abnormal cells, so removal and examination are often advised for symptomatic polyps.
2. How are uterine polyps diagnosed?
By transvaginal ultrasound, saline sonography or hysteroscopy, which also allows removal.
3. Do uterine polyps need to be removed?
Often, if they cause bleeding, affect fertility or are large or suspicious. Small asymptomatic polyps may be watched. Your gynaecologist will advise.
4. Can polyps come back?
Yes, they can recur, particularly if the hormonal cause persists.
5. Can homeopathy help with uterine polyps?
Homeopathy is offered as individualised, supportive care to help manage associated symptoms, alongside diagnosis and any removal advised by your gynaecologist. Bleeding after menopause needs prompt assessment.
6. Can I take homeopathic medicines along with my current medicines for uterine (endometrial) polyps?
Homeopathic medicines are highly diluted and are not known to interfere with other medicines, but please tell your doctor and our specialists about everything you take. Do not stop, skip or change any prescribed medicine on your own; any change should be discussed with the doctor who prescribed it.
