Expression levels of ADAMTS 5, 9, and 12 in endometrial polyps and their predictive value for the diagnosis and recurrence of endometrial polyps

Endometrial polyps (EPs) are characterized as localized overgrowth of endometrial glands and mesenchyme [1]. Histologically, EPs exhibit features such as a fibrotic stroma, thickening of blood vessels, and irregular glandular hyperplasia [2]. EPs are the most common type of gynecologic polyps, with a prevalence of 7.8  %–50 %, and EPs are highly prone to recurrence, with a recurrence rate of 2.5 %–43.6 % [3]. The primary symptoms of EPs can include abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, abdominal pain, and vaginal discharge.
