ABSTRACT: Many authors
have reported an epidemiologic relationship between endometrial polyps and
endometriosis. The joining link could be an unopposed and unbalanced estrogenic
milieu. The prevalence of both, endometrial polyps and endometriosis, is quite high among general population. The presence
of endometrial polyps and endometriosis
could affect infertile women. We performed a retrospective multicentric
study, based on data collected from three Hospitals
(S. Antonio Abate, Trapani, Civico-Ascoli, Palermo, and Cannizzaro, Catania). We analyzed 285 women undergoing
diagnostic/office hysteroscopy. Clinical history demographic and hysteroscopic
data were collected in the same sheet, containing within informed consent. On
the base of our results no relationship exists between endometrial polyps and
endometriosis nor cervical polyps. It’s the first time that none
correlation is proved for the coexistence of endometrial polyps and
endometriosis. Further research is needed.
