Hysteroscopic polyp removal before IVF in India
Quick answer
Endometrial polyps are small growths in the womb lining that may interfere with embryo implantation. They are removed through a hysteroscope passed through the cervix, usually as a short day procedure. Many fertility clinics remove polyps found on ultrasound before embryo transfer.
