Abstract
Endometrial polyps are localised hyperplastic growths of the endometrial lining that project into the uterine cavity. These growths, composed of glandular and stromal tissue formed around a vascular core, are a common finding in reproductive-aged women and have been associated with infertility and reduced efficacy of assisted conception treatment. This guideline aims to synthesise the evidence available for the assessment and management of endometrial polyps in the context of fertility. The guideline addresses the definition, prevalence, diagnosis, fertility prognosis, and treatment options for endometrial polyps.
