A member asked:

Could having an endocervical polyp removed at the time of embryo transfer have a detrimental effect on the outcome?

Dr. Henry Jacobs answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Yes: Anything that causes irritation or bleeding in the cervix can release prostaglandins and interfere with implantation and there is no reason to do it absent an abnormal pap test.
