• Abstract:

   Objective: This article, a narrative review based on research in the PubMed Central (PMC) database, aims to explore therapeutic options and strategies and their impact on the health of women with uterine polyps. Results: Uterine polyps are glandular and stromal proliferations found in the endometrium, often associated with the risk of abnormal bleeding. Its presentation can be asymptomatic or symptomatic, and the decision about removing polyps in asymptomatic cases is subject to controversy. Additional therapeutic alternatives and understanding the impact on women's quality of life are essential in this context. Therapeutic options include conservative and interventional approaches. In conservative treatment, preferences for oral progestins, intrauterine devices with levonorgestrel and combined oral contraceptives stand out. During surgical intervention, it is crucial to consider factors such as dimensions and anatomical location of the endometrial polyp. In some cases, a combination of both options can be adopted to optimize the therapeutic response. Final considerations: This study highlights the importance of customizing therapeutic plans according to the individual needs of each patient, aiming to optimize results and promote health.
