Patients with a history of never having given birth accounted for the highest rate at 59.3%; the rate of never having had an abortion accounted for the highest rate at 76.8%. The most common symptom of abnormal vaginal bleeding was menorrhagia with 22.1%. The rate of anemia was 17.1%. There were 20.1% with cervicitis. Most patients had normal uterine size (98.5%). Paraclinical: 100% of endometrial polyps are diagnosed by saline infusion sonohysterography. The average thickness of the endometrial mucosa on ultrasound was 7.9 ± 2.6 mm. The average size of polyps was 10.8 ± 5.3 mm.
