Question 7

could removal of endometrial polyp cause piercing of the uterus and hence infertility?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: But not at all likely. Even if your uterus was perforated by hysteroscopy, it wouldn't usually lead to infertility (as long as it was managed.).

Question 8

fertility specialists, have a 1 cent polyp in uterus. do u recommend trying to get pregnant first or go straight to removal and try after?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Even a 1 CM polyp in the uterus can be irritating to the lining and inhibit implantation or cause a miscarriage.  If it is low in the uterus or in the cervix it causes less problems.  Most people don''t know they have polyps unless they are having symptoms - irregular bleeding or had an ultrasound or hsg x-ray for fertility issues.  If symptomatic it should come out first.

No: Unfortunately, therapy for endometrial cancer is never 100% guaranteed. The risk depends on the exact pathology but luckily many of these patients (stage 1a) will not require further treatment or have a recurrence.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

It can help: All of that can help. But you should be seeing a gynecologist who specializes in infertility.
