8. Prognosis
The prognosis is good for patients after uterine polyp removal. Only 1 percent of polyps become cancerous. After extracting the growths with the hysteroscopic polypectomy, the pregnancy rates for patients experiencing infertility increase, and the miscarriage percentage goes down.
Additionally, patients' periods typically return to normal, and all other symptoms stop. Endometrial polyps rarely return after they're removed. Women experiencing symptoms after a polypectomy should consult with their gynecologist to rule out other conditions.
