Do uterine polyps cause cramps?

By Rebeca Reus BSc, MSc (embryologist).
Last Update: 11/06/2017

Yes, although this is not a common symptom. Cramping typically appears when a patient has a large endometrial polyp. Menstrual-like cramps occur when polyps are present because the womb is naturally "designed" to push out anything that it detects inside.
