from Section 10 - Complications of the Cord, Amnion, and Gravid Uterus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 April 2025
Cervical and endometrial polyps are benign masses that can cause abnormal uterine bleeding. In this case we discuss the etiology of these polyps and how they may be approached in pregnancy. Polyps are present in 2–5% of the general population. In pregnancy, polyps and their removal have been associated with vaginal bleeding and preterm labor. Management of polyps found during pregnancy is based on the presence or absence of symptoms and the site of origin of the polyp. Removal of decidual polyps are more likely to lead to complications such as preterm labor compared to those polyps that arise from the cervix. Ultrasound may help to distinguish the origin of symptomatic polyps to determine patient counseling and management.
