Endometrial polyps are common non-cancerous growths in the uterine lining, leading to unusual bleeding and fertility issues. These generally lack symptoms, but can cause heavy periods, bleeding between cycles, and fertility struggles. Diagnostic methods include hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy, and histopathological examination. This report covers a 30-year-old woman with irregular cycles and infertility for seven years, diagnosed with an endometrial polyp blocking the fallopian tubes. After a hysteroscopic polypectomy, she experienced symptom relief and her menstrual cycle normalized.
