When planning to travel to the United States for IVF treatment, do I need to remove endometrial polyps beforehand?

Endometrial polyps can appear as single or multiple, with varying sizes and whether they have a pedicle. In most cases, endometrial polyps are benign, with only a few cases of malignancy occurring. Endometrial polyps typically present with a range of symptoms, including menstrual abnormalities, increased menstrual bleeding, prolonged or shortened periods, as well as non menstrual bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding, and post coital bleeding. In severe cases, it may lead to systemic endocrine disorders, which in turn can affect the normal development of eggs. In addition, it may also hinder embryo implantation in the endometrium, leading to infertility symptoms such as difficulty conceiving and multiple early miscarriages.

In addition to its impact on fertility, endometrial polyps may also have negative effects on overall health, such as anemia, pale complexion, palpitations, low mood, endocrine disorders, and weakened immune system caused by prolonged menstruation. Therefore, for women who experience menstrual abnormalities, it is very important to consult a gynecologist and undergo relevant examinations in a timely manner in order to detect reproductive diseases such as endometrial polyps as early as possible. By promptly treating minor issues, the progression of the disease can be avoided, thereby reducing potential damage to physical health and fertility.

Considering going to the United States for in vitro fertilization treatment: is it necessary to remove endometrial polyps in advance?

Direct cause: According to the analysis of reproductive experts from Little Monster in the United States, the occurrence of endometrial polyps may be related to factors such as high levels of estrogen in the body and inflammatory stimulation. Excessive levels of estrogen may lead to abnormal thickening of the endometrium, and long-term high levels of estrogen can cause excessive growth of the endometrium, ultimately leading to the formation of polyps. In addition, long-term gynecological inflammatory stimulation, ectopic stimulation (such as intrauterine devices), childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infection, uterine cavity surgery, and other factors may also lead to the formation of endometrial polyps.

High risk factors: High risk factors include some women in perimenopause or receiving long-term estrogen replacement therapy after menopause to prolong or restore menstruation; Or long-term use of drugs or foods rich in estrogen; As well as obesity, aging, hypertension, diabetes, Lynch syndrome and other diseases. These factors can all lead to high levels of estrogen in the body, which can trigger the formation of endometrial polyps.

1. Conservative treatment can help treat smaller endometrial polyps by taking progesterone to lower estrogen levels. For small polyps without obvious symptoms after menopause, observation can be adopted. If they continue to grow, surgical treatment is recommended.
2. Drug therapy: For patients who have had their endometrial polyps removed, if they do not plan to conceive soon, they may consider taking short acting contraceptives to reduce the risk of recurrence.
3. Surgical treatment: Currently, hysteroscopic resection is commonly used. Through hysteroscopy, doctors can safely, accurately, and clearly remove the root of polyps in direct view. This method can effectively reduce the risk of polyp recurrence and provide better opportunities for in vitro fertilization in the postoperative period.

It can effectively reduce the recurrence rate and provide implantation opportunities for in vitro embryo transfer by utilizing the interval between recurrences. Does endometrial polyps have an impact on in vitro fertilization and require treatment before traveling to the United States?

For women planning to conceive, endometrial polyps can affect the shape and volume of the uterine cavity, hindering embryo implantation. Meanwhile, polyps may cause abnormal expression of factors related to endometrial receptivity, interfere with embryo implantation and normal development of placenta and decidua, and increase the risk of early pregnancy miscarriage or miscarriage. Therefore, women planning to conceive should actively seek treatment for endometrial polyps.

For women who undergo in vitro fertilization before going to the United States, if endometrial polyps are found during basic examination, it is necessary to consider whether to undergo drug treatment or surgical resection before going to the United States based on factors such as the number, size, growth location, and inflammation of the polyps.
