Emakapolüübids

Emakapolüübids are non-cancerous growths that develop on the inner lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. These polyps are typically small and fleshy, varying in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. They are composed of endometrial tissue and are often attached to the uterine wall by a stalk. The exact cause of emakapolüübids is not fully understood, but they are believed to be influenced by hormonal factors, particularly estrogen. They are more common in women during perimenopause and menopause, though they can occur at any age.

Symptoms associated with emakapolüübids can include abnormal uterine bleeding, such as spotting between periods, heavier menstrual bleeding, or bleeding after intercourse or during menopause. Some women with emakapolüübids may experience no symptoms at all. Diagnosis is often made through imaging techniques like transvaginal ultrasound or hysteroscopy, a procedure where a thin, lighted tube is inserted into the uterus to visualize the lining.

Treatment for emakapolüübids usually involves surgical removal, especially if they are causing symptoms or if there is concern about their nature. Removal can often be done during a hysteroscopy. While emakapolüübids are benign, a small percentage can contain precancerous or cancerous cells, making their removal and subsequent examination important for women's health.
