A polypectomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed to remove abnormal tissue growths called polyps from the uterus, cervix, or other areas of the reproductive tract. Polyps are typically benign growths, but they can cause symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, pelvic discomfort, infertility concerns, or postmenopausal bleeding and may occasionally contain precancerous or cancerous cells.
What Are Polyps?
Vaginal polyps are small tissue growths that develop on the lining of the uterus, cervix, or other reproductive tissues. The most common types include:
- Endometrial polyps (inside the uterus)
- Cervical polyps (on the cervix)
While many polyps are noncancerous, some may cause symptoms or require removal for further evaluation.
Symptoms associated with polyps may include:
- Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
- Bleeding between periods
- Postmenopausal bleeding
- Pelvic discomfort or cramping
- Infertility or difficulty becoming pregnant
- Abnormal vaginal discharge
Some polyps may also be discovered during routine pelvic exams, ultrasound imaging, or hysteroscopy.
A polypectomy involves carefully removing the polyp using specialized surgical instruments. Depending on the location and size of the polyp, the procedure may be performed:
- During hysteroscopy
- In-office or outpatient settings
- Using minimally invasive techniques without external incisions
The removed tissue is often sent to a pathology laboratory for microscopic evaluation to rule out abnormal or precancerous changes.

Minimally invasive techniques may offer:

- Reduced discomfort
- Faster recovery times
- Minimal scarring
- Rapid return to normal activities
Our UES gynecological surgery specialists carefully determine the most effective treatment approach for each patient.
