South Asian Health — Women's Health6 July 2026
Uterine polyps are growths attached to the inner wall of the uterus that can cause symptoms such as irregular bleeding, heavy periods, or spotting between periods. If you experience these symptoms, it's important to consult your GP. They may recommend a pelvic exam, ultrasound, or hysteroscopy to diagnose the condition. Treatment options include medication to manage symptoms or surgical removal of the polyps if they cause significant issues. Regular check-ups are crucial, especially if you have a family history of uterine issues.
