While abnormal bleeding is the most common symptom of uterine polyps, some patients do report pelvic pressure, cramping, or discomfort that improves after a polyp is removed.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐩 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞:
• Heavier periods
• Bleeding between periods
• Bleeding with exercise or in*******se
• Fertility challenges
• Sometimes, no symptoms at all

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s worth discussing them with your healthcare provider. The first step is often imaging to help determine what’s causing your symptoms and whether a polyp may be involved.

Whether you're preparing for IVF, exploring permanent birth control, or managing an ectopic pregnancy, your care team may recommend a salpingectomy, a surgical procedure to remove one or both fallopian tubes.

At ESSE Care, we specialize in minimally invasive laparoscopic salpingectomy, which allows for precise removal with less downtime and faster healing than open surgery.

This surgery can support your fertility goals, dramatically lower ovarian cancer risk, and help address painful and potentially dangerous conditions like hydrosalpinx, endometriosis, or ectopic pregnancy.

Is there a risk of cancer in your polyp?

The good news is that the risk is generally low, but it’s not zero. Factors like postmenopausal bleeding, high blood pressure, diabetes, tamoxifen use, larger polyps, or suspicious imaging findings can increase concern and are important to keep in mind when evaluating a polyp.

Every situation is different, which is why these conversations are so important. If you’ve been diagnosed with a uterine polyp and are unsure about next steps, talk with your provider so you can make an informed decision that feels right for you.

All three ESSE Care physicians—Dr. Karli Provost Goldstein, DO, FACOG; Dr. Leigh Rosen, MD; and Dr. Amanda Chu, MD—have been named to the 2026 New York Rising Stars list, published by Super Doctors. This marks a continued distinction for each physician, all of whom have been recognized multiple times in prior years, underscoring their sustained excellence and leadership in gynecologic and reproductive health care.

The New York Rising Stars list honors a select group of physicians who demonstrate outstanding clinical skill, professional achievement, and strong peer recognition. The designation is awarded through a rigorous process that includes peer nominations, independent credential verification, and evaluation by a panel of leading physicians.

“Ultimately, this recognition isn’t about us. It’s about our patients,” said Dr. Goldstein. “Knowing that every physician at ESSE Care has been independently recognized by peers reinforces what we strive for every day: exceptional, thoughtful medicine delivered with compassion. Our patients deserve to feel confident that they’re receiving care from doctors who are deeply committed to excellence.”

Can a large fibroid cause leg pain?

Yes! While it’s not common, larger fibroids, especially on the outside or back of the uterus, can press on nerves and cause leg pain or numbness.

Depending on where they are, fibroids can also lead to bloating, back pain, bladder pressure, frequent urination, and pain with s*x.

Size and location affect the symptoms and how severe they are.

When I ask a patient to tell me their story from the beginning, I know I’m asking them to revisit a lot of pain.

It bothers me that so many people feel like their vulnerability and struggles are a burden. If you’re going through the physical, emotional, and financial toll of infertility, the last thing you should feel is guilt for being upset.

I’m sharing this today because I want my office and this page to be a place where you never have to say "sorry" for your tears.

Many of my patients are navigating one of life’s hardest paths and emotions regarding this don't ever need an apology.

A uterine septum is removed using hysteroscopy, where a camera goes through the va**na and cervix into the uterus. In some cases, a laparoscopy is also done to view the uterus from the outside.

The goal is a normal, open uterine cavity. After healing, repeat imaging is usually done to be sure everything looks right, since a small amount of septum can sometimes remain and require another procedure.

Knowing what to expect can make the process feel a little less overwhelming. 🌼

Let’s talk about uterine septums.

This is a condition that is seen quite often and acts as a wall in the middle of the uterine cavity.

The concern is that this can create problems in pregnancy, which is why patients are often referred for evaluation and possible surgical correction.

A visit typically includes a physical exam and, in most cases, an MRI to better understand the extent of the septum and help with surgical planning.

Some patients need (or simply prefer) to have their IUD placed under anesthesia—and that’s completely valid. Whether it’s for birth control, heavy bleeding, perimenopause, or lining protection, you deserve options that feel safe and comfortable for you.

There are multiple pain-management approaches available, from medication in the office to being fully asleep for the procedure.

Advocate for yourself, ask questions, and talk with your doctor about what’s possible.

Your comfort matters, and you should never feel afraid to explore the care that’s right for you
