The Association between Endometrial Polyps and Infertility: A Retrospective Analysis of Patient Data

article OA: green CC0

Abstract

Background: Throughout the world, many couples worry about infertility. Endometrial polyps have been identified as a possible contributor to infertility. This study uses a retrospective analysis to shed light on the complex interaction between endometrial polyps and infertility. Methods: A study was conducted on a cohort of 200 women who got fertility tests done. Medical records were analysed for demographic information, endometrial polyp status, and infertility diagnosis. Endometrial polyps and infertility were studied using statistical analysis that took patient age and body mass index into account. Results: Our research shows that endometrial polyps are significantly linked to female infertility (p<0.001). Infertility affected 40 of the 45 individuals with endometrial polyps, while only 60 of the 155 patients who did not have polyps had fertility issues. There were no significant associations between age, body mass index and the prevalence of polyps. Conclusion: Consistent with other studies, this one highlight endometrial polyps’ role in sterility issues. Screening for endometrial polyps may enhance reproductive results for infertile patients by allowing for earlier diagnosis and treatment. The research adds to the expanding body of literature on the subject, supporting the value of a holistic strategy for evaluating and treating infertility.
