Nationwide launch for pioneering fertility study
7th April 2021
Fertility researchers in the UK are investigating whether removing smaller fibroids and endometrial polyps will boost the chances of successful pregnancy and live birth rates in women undergoing treatments for infertility and recurrent miscarriages.
The new multi-centre trial, funded by the NIHR and led by researchers from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (FT), will run across 30 gynaecology and fertility centres in the UK, and is the first to assess if removing fibroids and endometrial polyps less than 3cm can improve women’s chances of having a baby.
Fibroids and endometrial polyps are very common, especially in reproductive-age women. While these non-cancerous tumours have long been linked to fertility issues, there is limited clinical evidence to show that their removal increases live birth rates and improves fertility.
