Brief Summary:
This study is intended to observe the therapeutic effect of dydrogesterone on endometrial polyps and provide a reference for clinical treatment.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Endometrial Polyp Drug: Dydrogesterone Phase 4

Detailed Description:
Endometrial polyps are a common female endometrial lesion.The long-term unrestrained exposure of estrogen to local tissue is one of the causes of polyp formation.Studies suggested that the progesterone can accelerate the regression rate of endometrial polyps due to its antiestrogenic effects.Based on this, investigators intended to observe the therapeutic effect of dydrogesterone on endometrial polyps and provide a reference for clinical treatment.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: cohort for treatment

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Regression rate of endometrial polyps [ Time Frame: three months after the starting of treatment ]
    No evidence of polyps or the maximum dimensions of polyps are reduced by 1/3 or more under pelvic ultrasound

  2. Relapse rate of endometrial polyps [ Time Frame: six months after the starting of treatment ]
    Evidence of polyps or the maximum dimensions of polyps are larger during the follow-up of the regression group after treatment


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Side effects [ Time Frame: three months after the starting of treatment ]
    Any side effects during the treatment
