This video shows Uterine Polyp and Ovarian Hemorrhagic Cyst.
Overgrowth of cells in the lining of the uterus (endometrium) leads to the formation of uterine polyps, also known as Endometrial polyps.
Uterine polyps are more likely to develop in women who are between 40 and 50 years old than in younger women. Uterine polyps can occur after menopause but rarely occur in women under 20 years old.
Around 5 percent of uterine polyps are cancerous or precancerous.
Uterine polyps range in size from a few millimeters - no larger than a sesame seed - to several centimeters - golf-ball-size or larger. They attach to the uterine wall by a large base or a thin stalk. You can have one or many uterine polyps.
Signs and symptoms of uterine polyps include:
Irregular menstrual bleeding - for example, having frequent, unpredictable periods of variable length and heaviness.
Bleeding between menstrual periods.
Excessively heavy menstrual periods.
Vaginal bleeding after menopause.
Infertility.
Causes of Uterine Polyps
Each month, estrogen levels in women rise and fall, causing the lining of the uterus to thicken and then shed during your period. Polyps form when too much of that lining grows. That may be due to the changes in estrogen levels that happen just before and during menopause.
Treatment may not be necessary if the polyps do not cause any symptoms. However, polyps should be treated if they cause heavy bleeding during menstrual periods, or if they are suspected to be precancerous or cancerous. If a polyp is discovered after menopause, it should be removed.
It is rare for uterine polyps to be cancerous. If they aren't causing problems, monitoring the polyps over time is a reasonable approach. If you develop symptoms, such as abnormal bleeding, however, then the polyps should be removed and evaluated to confirm that there is no evidence of cancer.
After the removal of a polyp, the patient can return to work in a few days. She may notice a little spotting for a few days. Only a small percent of polyps seem to come back, but it is possible that months or years after treatment a polyp might recur.
Overgrowth of cells in the lining of the uterus (endometrium) leads to the formation of uterine polyps, also known as endometrial polyps. These polyps are usually noncancerous (benign), although some can be cancerous or can eventually turn into cancer (precancerous polyps).
Approximately half of women with uterine polyps have irregular periods. Other symptoms include prolonged or excessive menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), bleeding between periods, and bleeding after menopause or sexual intercourse. Uterine polyps are the cause of abnormal bleeding in about 25 percent of these cases.
A hemorrhagic ovarian cyst (HOC) is an adnexal mass formed because of the occurrence of bleeding into a follicular or corpus luteum cyst. Hemorrhagic cysts are commonly seen in clinical practice because hemorrhage into a cyst is usually painful, triggering the patient to consult her physician.
Many radiologists use the term “complex” to describe all cysts other than totally clear, simple cysts. However, many benign entities are complex, such as dermoid cysts, endometriomas, hemorrhagic cysts, and cystadenomas.
Having a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst is not necessarily a problem. Many times these cysts don't cause symptoms and are often found during a pelvic exam that's done for another reason. If a cyst is small or medium-size and isn't causing you any pain or other symptoms, then your doctor likely will recommend monitoring it.
A hemorrhagic or a ruptured ovarian cyst is the most common cause of acute pelvic pain in an afebrile, premenopausal woman presenting to the emergency room. They can occur during pregnancy.
Hemorrhagic cysts are normal in ovulatory women, usually resolving within 8 weeks. They can be quite variable in appearance, however, and can be confused with ovarian endometriomae.
In addition to pain, symptoms of a ruptured ovarian cyst can include:
bleeding from the vagina.
nausea.
vomiting.
tenderness in the pelvic/abdominal area.
weakness.
feeling faint.
fever.
increased pain while sitting.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop in or on a person's ovaries. The cysts are usually benign, which means they are not cancerous and often clear up without treatment.
Having a cyst on an ovary does not usually affect one's chances of becoming pregnant, which is why doctors will typically only investigate further if a couple has been trying to conceive naturally through regular intercourse for a year, but has not yet been successful in falling pregnant.
