Polypectomy Cost in United Arab Emirates

The cost of polypectomy in the UAE typically ranges from $2,000 to $18,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Polypectomy simply means removing a polyp. Because this page sits under gynaecology, it covers polyps growing from the lining of the womb (endometrial polyps) or from the cervix. Colon polyps are removed during colonoscopy, which is priced separately. In the UAE, the cost depends on:

• Site: inside the womb or on the cervix.
• Setting: outpatient hysteroscopy or day surgery with anaesthesia.
• How many polyps: and their size.
• Laboratory testing: of the removed tissue.

The term polypectomy is also used for colon and nasal polyps. Confirm which procedure a quote refers to.

Womb polyps are often removed because they cause bleeding between periods, heavy periods or bleeding after the menopause, because they may interfere with an embryo implanting, or to make sure they are not cancerous, especially after the menopause.

The NHS describes hysteroscopy, where a narrow camera is passed into the womb, as the usual way to remove polyps. It can be done in clinic with pain relief, or with sedation or general anaesthetic. A look-only hysteroscopy takes 10 to 15 minutes; removing polyps takes longer.

See the hysteroscopy page.

Expect cramps for a couple of days and light bleeding for up to a week. Avoid tampons, sex and strenuous exercise until the bleeding has stopped. The NHS lists infection and a small hole in the womb wall as rare risks.
