Sara Mehta, a 42-year-old senior graphic...
Sara Mehta, a 42-year-old senior graphic designer, had been trying to conceive for two years. Her history included increasingly heavy, prolonged periods with severe cramping that disrupted her work and life. After a saline sonogram revealed a 2cm endometrial polyp, her OB-GYN, Dr. Evans, explained that this could be a physical barrier to implantation. Sara was anxious, fearing the procedure might damage her uterus. The hysteroscopic polypectomy was quick, performed under light sedation. She felt only mild cramping afterward. Within three months, her cycles normalized. While her fertility journey continues, the removal of that tangible obstacle brought immense relief and renewed hope, replacing her anxiety with a sense of proactive control over her health.
