Women from childbearing age to postmenopause are all at high risk of endometrial polyps. At present, it is not clear, some scholars believe that it is related to endocrine disorders, mainly ultrasound diagnosis, intrauterine cavity sonography is more sensitive, and hysteroscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing endometrial polyps. Effect of endometrial polyps on fertility?Menstrual disorders: heavy menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstruation or abnormal uterine bleeding before menopause, but the severity of symptoms is not related to the number, diameter, and location of polyps.
Abnormal vaginal discharge: a small number of patients with large polyps may have increased leucorrhea or blood-streaked leucorrhoea.
Infertility: Mechanical blockage of the fallopian tube opening by polyps can affect and hinder the union of sperm and egg, thus affecting the pregnancy rate.
If the polyp is too large, it will affect the shape of the uterine cavity and affect the blood circulation of the endometriumIf the polyp is inflamed, it will affect the receptivity of the endometrium, interfere with the implantation of the embryo, and lead to miscarriage, thus causing infertility. If the test tube Jimei detects that there are endometrial polyps, whether it will affect the test tube depends on the size, location and shape of the polyp.

In addition, having uterine polyps can also lead to endometrial polyps complicated by infection, altering the intrauterine environment, leading to early miscarriage, which can affect the pregnancy rate of IVF.
In general, women with endometrial polyps should determine whether the polyps will affect the implantation of the embryo before the transferIf the size and shape of the polyp have affected the uterine cavity environment, the embryo transfer can only be carried out after surgical resection, otherwise the success rate of IVF will be reduced, in addition, there is a possibility of endometrial polyps after surgery, and the rate is about 25%~3.7%, mainly due to the fact that the polyp is generated** has no place to go, followed by the polyp root is not cut clean.
