Endometrial polyps procedure

I’ve not gone through it myself, but my cousin had an endometrial polyp removed a few years ago. If I remember correctly, hers was done under light sedation/day surgery, so she didn’t really feel much during the procedure. The actual procedure was quite fast, around 20–30 mins, but she was at the clinic/hospital longer for preparation and recovery. Her symptoms were mainly spotting between periods and heavier bleeding than usual. After the polyp was removed, those symptoms improved quite a bit. If you have bad anxiety, do let your gynae know upfront. My cousin was very nervous too, and her doctor explained everything beforehand which helped reassure her. Different doctors may offer different options (LA, sedation or GA) depending on the size/location of the polyp and your comfort level. Hope some mums here who have personally gone through it can share their experience too. Wishing you all the best! ❤️

Hi mama, I had an endometrial polyp removed via hysteroscopy under light sedation, and the procedure itself was quite quick (around 20–30 minutes). Most of the time was spent on preparation and recovery. 😊 My symptoms were spotting between periods and heavier bleeding than usual. If you have anxiety about procedures, do let your gynae know beforehand—they can discuss sedation options that may help you feel more comfortable. Wishing you all the best, mama ❤️

I had mine removed under sedation and honestly found the experience much easier than I expected. The procedure was fairly quick, and I was able to go home the same day. My main symptom was spotting between periods, although some women don't have any symptoms at all. If you struggle with anxiety, definitely let your gynae know, as they can talk you through the options and help make the process more comfortable.

I had mine under GA. I didn't have much symptoms that point out this issue until I had 2 concurrent miscarriages. The doctor arranged for a hysteroscopy to check and found out I need to do a day surgery to remove quite a lot of them, hence the GA. The procedure was quick, maybe about 30-45 mins? the entire procedure from preparation to actually being discharged was about half a day. take care!
