Symptoms
Women who have symptomatic polyps may experience heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), spotting or bleeding between periods (metrorrhagia), or spotting after sex. They can also play a role in preventing pregnancy, and are suspected as a cause in women who report repeated miscarriages. Since these symptoms are also associated with more severe illnesses, such as uterine cancer, it is important for women who experience them to seek the advice of a medical professional, who can diagnose the cause of the symptoms and may be able to alleviate them, as well.
