Understanding Uterine Growths: Fibroids and Polyps
Uterine fibroids and polyps are two common types of growths that may develop in the uterus.
While they are often benign (non-cancerous), they differ significantly in their origin, structure, presence, and symptoms.

Diagnosis: Uterine Fibroids and Polyps
Diagnosing uterine fibroids and uterine polyps typically involves assessing medical history, physical examination, and performing imaging tests.
Here’s how Dr Aparna will diagnose fibroids and polyps in Dubai:
- Medical History: Dr Aparna will take a detailed medical history, focusing on your symptoms, menstrual patterns, family history, and any medications you take.
- Physical Examination: She will conduct a pelvic examination, which may help reveal irregularities in the uterus. Irregularities may suggest the presence of fibroids, but polyps are generally not detectable through physical examination alone.
- Diagnostic Tests: Diagnostic tests are conducted to confirm the presence of the growths. These include:
- Transvaginal ultrasound provides images of the uterus, helping to identify the presence of uterine fibroids and polyps.
- Hysterosonography offers a clearer view of the endometrial lining, improving the detection of submucosal fibroids and polyps.
- MRI tests are used for detailed mapping of uterine fibroids. It is less commonly used for polyps.
- Hysteroscopy involves the inserting a hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix into the uterus for direct visualization.
- Endometrial biopsy involves taking a sample of endometrial tissue for laboratory analysis to check for abnormal cells, including polyps.
- Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical method where a camera is inserted through a small abdominal incision to view the uterus and other pelvic organs. It is typically used for complex cases of fibroids.
