By definition, a uterine polyp is a benign tumor of the uterus. Most often, it does not cause any health problem but a uterine polyp must still be monitored: it may require treatment in some cases.
Uterine polyps can be detected using an ultrasound-based technique called a sonohysterography or hysteroscopy. Another common diagnostic test for uterine polyps treatment is hysterosalpingography (HSG), which is a view of the uterus through X-rays.
Polyps can be removed by simple surgical procedures. For uterine polyps, hysteroscopy is the means used to visualize the endometrium.
