Can endometrial polyp cause pain?

During my last ultrasound, my doctor found an endometrial polyp. I've been having some dull aches in my lower abdomen, especially around my period. Could this endometrial polyp be causing this pain?

I was recently told I have a small polyp and I feel mild cramping sometimes. Do they usually cause sharp pain or is it just like period cramps?

I panicked when I felt constant cramping and found out about my polyp. But my doctor explained it's very common and can be easily managed, so don't worry.

Please don't ignore pelvic pain like I did, thinking it is just a normal cycle issue. Get an ultrasound done soon to see if a polyp is causing the discomfort.

Yes, beta, they can cause heavy bleeding and painful cramps. Warm compress and ginger tea help a bit with the ache, but you must show a doctor to treat the root cause.
