How Polyps Cause Bleeding?

Polyps cause these symptoms because they dangle from their stalks and irritate the surrounding tissue, which causes the tissue to rub off, exposing tiny blood vessels. These blood vessels bleed, leading to spotting or vaginal bleeding.

How do you stop a polyp from bleeding?

Progestins and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists help control your hormone levels. They may shrink polyps and ease symptoms, like heavy bleeding.
