Brief Answer:
Bleeding / miscarriage / infertility

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

1) Endometrial polyp is known to cause excessive duration and amount of heavy bleeding. I see you bleed for 7 days in your cycle which is more.

2) Endometrial polyps are known to cause miscarriage / infertility in women trying for pregnancy.

3) Otherwise it is not associated with anything serious.

4) It can be removed by a small operative procedure called hysteroscopy.

5) After removing polyp by hysteroscopy, it will be sent to pathology laboratory for ruling out cancerous changes ( very rare).

Let me know if you need anymore help.
