Uterine Polyp Removal in Hyderabad: Safe & Advanced Care at Lux Hospitals
Uterine polyps are non-cancerous growths attached to the inner wall of the uterus that can lead to irregular periods, infertility, or bleeding between periods. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial. At Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, we offer advanced and minimally invasive options for uterine polyp removal, ensuring effective relief with faster recovery. Our expert gynaecologists use modern techniques for uterine polyp removal in Hyderabad, focusing on patient comfort and long-term health.
What is a Uterine Polyp?
A uterine polyp, also known as an endometrial polyp, is a small overgrowth of tissue that forms on the lining of the uterus. These growths are typically benign but can sometimes lead to complications like abnormal bleeding, discomfort, or fertility issues.
Uterine polyps can vary in size—from a few millimetres to several centimetres—and may occur in women of all ages, though they are most common in those undergoing hormonal changes, such as during menopause or perimenopause.
Causes of Uterine Polyps
While the exact cause isn’t always clear, several factors may contribute to the formation of uterine polyps:
- Hormonal imbalance (especially excess estrogen)
- Age (commonly seen in women aged 40–50)
- Obesity
- Hypertension
- Use of tamoxifen (a drug used in breast cancer treatment)
Symptoms of Uterine Polyps
Common signs and symptoms include:
- Irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding
- Bleeding between periods
- Vaginal spotting after menopause
- Difficulty getting pregnant
If you’re experiencing any of the above, it may be time to consider uterine polyp removal.
Diagnosis of Uterine Polyps
Diagnosis is typically done through:
- Pelvic Ultrasound – to detect the presence of polyps
- Hysteroscopy – a procedure using a thin, lighted instrument to view the inside of the uterus
- Endometrial Biopsy – to examine the uterine lining for abnormal cells
Early detection can help you avoid complications and plan for effective uterine polyp removal surgery.
Treatment for Uterine Polyp Removal
At Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, we offer personalized treatment plans for uterine polyps based on the size, number, symptoms, and patient’s reproductive goals. Our approach combines state-of-the-art diagnostic tools with advanced surgical expertise to ensure accurate, safe, and effective outcomes.
Minimally Invasive Uterine Polyp Removal Options
Hysteroscopic Polypectomy
This is the most common and effective procedure for removing uterine polyps. It is minimally invasive and performed on an outpatient basis.
- Procedure: A thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina into the uterus. The surgeon visualizes the polyp and removes it using specialized surgical tools.
- Anesthesia: Local or short general anaesthesia is used to ensure comfort.
- Duration: The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.
- Recovery: Most patients return home the same day and resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Dilation and Curettage (D&C)
In certain cases, especially when polyps are not clearly visualized or multiple growths are present, a D&C may be performed.
- Procedure: The cervix is dilated, and the inner uterine lining is gently scraped to remove polyps and tissue.
- Use Case: Often used in combination with hysteroscopy for enhanced precision.
- Recovery: Similar to hysteroscopic polypectomy, recovery is fast with minimal downtime.
Polyp Removal for Fertility Enhancement
For women trying to conceive, polyp removal can significantly enhance chances of implantation and successful pregnancy. At Lux Hospitals, we ensure careful surgical intervention to preserve the uterine lining and support fertility goals.
Management of Recurrent or Atypical Polyps
In rare cases where polyps recur or show abnormal cellular changes, our gynaecologic oncologists may recommend:
- Advanced hysteroscopy with biopsy
- Close monitoring through imaging and blood tests
- Further evaluation to rule out endometrial hyperplasia or malignancy
Recovery After Uterine Polyp Removal
The recovery process is usually smooth and fast. Most women can return to their normal activities within 24–48 hours.
- Mild cramping or spotting for a few days
- Avoiding heavy lifting or intercourse for a week
- Follow-up visits to ensure complete healing
Our team provides detailed post-surgical care instructions and support every step of the way.
Potential Side Effects
Although the procedure is generally safe, like any surgery, endometrial polyp removal side effects may occur, such as:
- Light vaginal bleeding
- Mild abdominal cramping
- Temporary changes in menstrual cycle
Severe complications are rare but can include infection or uterine injury. At Lux Hospitals, we prioritize patient safety and follow stringent medical protocols.
