10. Prevention
There is no proven method of preventing uterine polyps. However, women can take proactive measures to reduce the chances of developing endometrial overgrowth in the uterus.
Regular gynecological checkups can help diagnose and treat endometrial polyps. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight and keeping blood pressure low may reduce a woman's chances of developing the condition. Women who think they may have uterine polyps should seek medical care as soon as possible for treatment.
