The difference between uterine polyps and fibroids

Uterine polyps and uterine fibroids are two completely different diseases, the etiology and pathology are quite different, generally can be detected. Endometrial polyps are caused by local hyperplasia of the endometrium, usually by the uterine mucosa or glandular interstitial tissue. And uterine fibroids are also called uterine leiomyoma, the main component is smooth muscle. Generally, after pathological examination can clearly separate the two. Clinically, under the detection of B-ultrasound, especially submucosal myoma or small submucosal myoma, it may be easily confused with endometrial polyps, which can be diagnosed by pathological examination after surgery.
