How do uterine polyps cause abnormal bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uterine polyps ?'s: Uterine polyps are benign growths originating in the uterine lining, and occur on narrow stalks which can twist secondary to uterine contractions, cutting off blood supply and causing deteriorization of the polyp tissue, allowing bleeding to occur when the polyp "untwists".

Heavy bleeding. Endometrial biopsy showed polyp. Hysteroscopy/polypectomy done and Dr says my uterus lining looks irregular and has some scarring. Never had a D&C. What does irregular mean? Could this be hormonal? Im 45 and FSH is 66
