Histological and morphometrical features of endometrial polyposis complicated with uterus bleeding. Review and clinical data

Abstract

Endometrial polyposis is a condition that affects the lining of the endometrium or the uterus and it is seen in 1-17% of women in their reproductive years. The symptoms are often uterine bleeding which can occur as menorrhagia and the polyps can be sessile or pedunculated. This pathology can also arise in women who are in the post-menopausal phase and the exact pathogenesis of the pathology is not known but there are theories that shed light on how this may occur. We conducted a study in which we took 70 surveyed women with endometrial polyps which were complicated by uterine bleeding to determine their morphological types and identify the relationship between the types of polyps and the frequency of uterine bleeding.
