Endometrial polyps do not prevent sexual intercourse. This is because endometrial polyps are located within the uterine cavity, and sexual intercourse generally affects the vulva, vagina, and cervix. As long as these organs do not have any pathological changes, sexual intercourse is generally possible because the polyps inside the uterine cavity are not contacted during intercourse. Therefore, intercourse does not significantly affect the presence of polyps and can occur. However, if endometrial polyps are discovered, it is crucial to undergo early surgical treatment, which can be done through hysteroscopy or diagnostic curettage, as the polyps can grow larger over time.
