Restoring Internal Clarity: Gynaecological Polypectomy What is a Polypectomy? A polypectomy is a specialized, minimally invasive procedure used to remove polyps—small, usually non-cancerous (benign) growths that develop from the mucous membranes of the cervix or the lining of the uterus (endometrium). These growths can range from a few millimetres to several centimetres in size and are often the "hidden" cause of irregular bleeding. Our specialists primarily perform this via Hysteroscopic Polypectomy. This is an "incisionless" surgery where a thin, lighted camera (hysteroscope) is inserted through the natural opening of the cervix. Once the polyp is visualized, a specialized surgical loop or a mechanical "morcellator" is used to gently remove the polyp at its base without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. Why is this Procedure Personally Vital for You? Removing polyps is a critical step in both resolving uncomfortable symptoms and ensuring long-term cellular health. This pathway is personally vital for you if: You Experience "Intermenstrual" Bleeding: If you have spotting between your periods or bleeding after intercourse, polyps are often the mechanical trigger. Their removal typically stops this irregular bleeding immediately. Fertility is a Priority: Polyps can act like a natural "IUD," preventing an embryo from properly implanting in the uterine wall. A polypectomy "clears the field," significantly improving the environment for a successful pregnancy. Post-Menopausal Bleeding Occurs: Any bleeding after menopause requires investigation. While most polyps are benign, removing them for pathological analysis is essential to rule out any abnormal cell changes. You Seek an Incisionless Solution: Because the procedure is performed through the body''s natural pathways, there is no external scarring and a significantly lower risk of infection compared to traditional surgery. The Path to Uterine Health and Stability The goal of a polypectomy is to achieve total removal of the growth while stabilizing the uterine environment. This pathway is designed to: Provide Targeted Tissue Clearance: Our surgeons focus on removing the "stalk" of the polyp to prevent it from regrowing, ensuring a durable result. Ensure Clinical Readiness through Rigorous Screening: To map the number and location of the polyps and ensure systemic safety, we require a full medical history, diagnostic X-rays (specifically a chest X-ray for anesthesia clearance and a pelvic ultrasound or saline-infusion sonogram), and comprehensive blood tests (including pregnancy tests, full blood counts, and coagulation profiles). A Focused Recovery and Stabilization Window: Although you can often return to daily life within 24–48 hours, the site where the polyp was attached requires time to heal and "re-epithelialize." We focus on a 2–3 week recovery and stabilization period. This timeframe is essential for monitoring for any late-onset spotting and ensuring the uterine lining is perfectly stabilized before you resume full physical activity or try to conceive. All details are subject to doctor evaluation for the final treatment plan.
