Description
Introduction: Endometrial polyps and uterine fibroids are common non-cancerous growths that can cause complications such as abnormal uterine bleeding and fertility issues in women of reproductive age. Polyps are growths of endometrial tissue, while fibroids consist of smooth muscle tissue within the uterus. This case focuses on a 34-year-old woman who experienced recurrent miscarriages and heavy menstrual bleeding due to these growths.
Objective: The objective of this case study was to explore the effectiveness of operative hysteroscopy in treating recurrent pregnancy loss and abnormal menstrual bleeding in a patient with uterine polyps and fibroids.
Methods: A 34-year-old female presented with a history of three first-trimester miscarriages and chronic heavy menstrual periods. Ultrasound imaging revealed multiple intracavitary growths, identified as fibroids and polyps. The patient underwent operative hysteroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure, during which polyps were removed by twisting them with forceps, and fibroids were shaved down to align with the uterine wall. Post-operative management included three months of birth control to support healing of the uterine lining.
Results: The patient’s postoperative recovery was smooth, with no complications noted during follow-up visits. After completing the three-month recovery period, the patient successfully conceived and delivered three healthy children. The procedure not only resolved her recurrent miscarriages but also eliminated her heavy menstrual bleeding.
Conclusion: This case demonstrates that uterine polyps and fibroids can significantly impair reproductive outcomes by preventing successful implantation and contributing to abnormal bleeding. Operative hysteroscopy proved to be an effective treatment for managing these issues, leading to successful pregnancies and a return to normal menstrual cycles. This highlights the role of surgical intervention in the treatment of similar conditions affecting fertility and menstruation.
