ABSTRACT
In this study we tried to find relationship between location, size and clinical symptoms of uterine polyps. Our cross sectional study was performed during the year 2008 in Ahwaz Imam Khomayni Hospital. Patients who underwent office hysteroscopy were evaluated and those with hysteroscopic diagnosis of polyp were entered in the study. Hysteroscopic findings of location and size of polyps and clinical presentations of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding [AUB] dysmenorrhea, infertility, discharge, spotting plus discharge were evaluated. One hundred and twenty four patients were evaluated. The most common location of polyp and clinical presentation were cervical canal and AUB, respectively. Polyp sizes of equal or less than 1 cm are commonly seen in cervical canal and cornea and more than 1 cm polyps are commonly found in uterine cavity and near internal os. In this study we showed that location of polyp is important in clinical presentation. Patients presented with AUB had polyps more common in uterine cavity, patients with spotting plus discharge had polyps more in cervical canal
