When it comes to cervical polyps, their cause is unknown. Some studies indicate that the cause may be an infection, long-term chronic inflammation of the uterus, or a response to increased estrogen levels. Whereas when we talk about uterine polyps causes, these have no definitive cause but can be affected by estrogen levels, which fuels their growth.

A uterine polyp is a small, benign formation that develops in the uterine cavity. There are a few uterine polyps' symptoms. These can sometimes lead to bleeding between periods, but it is not abundant. There is usually no pain. Treatment with an oral contraceptive can make it possible to reduce its size, otherwise, the treatment is surgical by hysteroscopy: a small camera is introduced into the uterine cavity to visualize the polyp and perform its excision.
