Polypectomy in Gangnam


If you are experiencing abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, or difficulty conceiving, a polypectomy may be the recommended procedure. A polypectomy is the surgical removal of polyps, which are common, usually non-cancerous growths of tissue that can develop in the uterus or on the cervix. While polyps are often benign, their removal can alleviate symptoms and improve reproductive health.

Understanding Polyps and Polypectomy


Polyps can form in different areas of the reproductive tract and often cause no symptoms, but they may contribute to various gynecological issues.


  • Cervical Polyps: These polyps grow on the cervix and are often visible during a routine pelvic exam. They can cause bleeding after intercourse or between periods.
  • Endometrial (Uterine) Polyps: These grow within the lining of the uterus and can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, irregular bleeding, and may interfere with fertility or increase the risk of miscarriage.


One of the key advantages of a polypectomy is the quick resolution of abnormal bleeding and the potential for improved fertility after removal of endometrial polyps.


Polypectomy Procedure


Once you and your healthcare provider decide that a polypectomy is necessary, the next step is scheduling the procedure.


During the procedure:


  • Your healthcare provider will review your medical history and conduct a pelvic examination or imaging (like a hysteroscopy) to locate the polyps.
  • For uterine polyps, the procedure is often performed using a hysteroscopy, where a thin scope is inserted through the cervix into the uterus to visualize and remove the polyp.
  • The polyps are carefully removed using specialized instruments. The entire process usually takes just 15 to 30 minutes.
  • You may experience mild cramping during the procedure. Local anesthesia or light sedation may be used to reduce discomfort.


Post-Procedure and Pathology


After the polyps are removed, they are typically sent to a laboratory for pathological analysis to confirm they are benign and exclude any malignancy. Your healthcare provider will schedule follow-up visits to discuss the results and monitor your healing.


Benefits of Polypectomy


  • Effective relief from abnormal bleeding and spotting
  • Potential improvement in fertility for those with endometrial polyps
  • Minimally invasive, especially when performed via hysteroscopy
  • Quick procedure with minimal downtime
  • Confirmation of polyp pathology through lab analysis


Selecting the right treatment depends on the location and size of the polyps, as well as your symptoms and medical history. A healthcare professional can guide you in choosing the best option to fit your needs.


Is Polypectomy Safe?


Yes, polypectomy is considered a safe and common procedure for most individuals. However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best choice based on your medical history and personal preferences. Some possible side effects may include:


  • Mild cramping or discomfort during the procedure
  • Light bleeding or spotting for a few days after
  • Rare risks of infection or uterine perforation


Regular check-ups are recommended to ensure proper healing and monitor for any recurrence of polyps.


What to Expect After Polypectomy


After the procedure, it’s normal to experience mild cramping and light spotting for a few days. Some people may feel dizzy or lightheaded immediately after the procedure. These symptoms typically subside quickly. To alleviate discomfort, over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen can be taken.

If you experience severe pain, heavy bleeding (more than a normal period), or unusual discharge after the procedure, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider immediately.
