Do uterine polyps need to be removed?

No, some polyps do not require treatment if they do not cause any symptoms. Basically, they can be treated by means of medication or surgery, depending on each woman. If they cause heavy bleeding during menstruation, or if they are suspected to be pre-cancerous, they should be treated at once.
