I have an endometrial polyp in the womb ... should i take it out? how serious is this ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it: Should come out because it could grow, or bleed, or rarely turn into cancer or cause infertilty or an early miscarriage, it does depends how big it is, I am almost always able to remove them hysteroscopically in office, please consult with your gyn.
