Background: Endometrial polyps are benign lesions with low malignancy potential, identified as endometrial protrusions, which appear to be related to some sociodemographic and clinical factors. Objective: To identify the factors associated with the occurrence of endometrial polyp in patients submitted to videohysteroscopy. Methods: A case-control study that included 162 women who underwent videohysteroscopy at a private diagnostic imaging clinic between January and June of 2016. Data collection was done through medical records. The association of the variables was calculated by odds ratio and confidence interval, with significance level p < 0.05. Results: Patients were divided into 81 cases and 81 controls. The mean age of the women was 49.6 (± 12.5) years. The most frequent histological type of endometrial polyps was the hyperplastic (34.7%), followed by the functional type (33.3%). Only one case of endometrial carcinoma was detected. The age of thepatients, number of previous vaginal deliveries and caesarean sections, age of menarche, menopause, use of hormonal therapy or hormonal contraception, and comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes, were not associated with the appearance of endometrial polyp at videohysteroscopic examination. The multivariate analysis also showed no association between outcome and skin color (p = 0.137), body mass index (p = 0.154), number of previous abortions (p = 0.869), abnormal uterine bleeding (p = 0.486) and its duration (p = 0.157). Conclusion: The clinical and sociodemographic characteristics assessed in the present study were not associated with the appearance of endometrial polypoid formations, identified by videohysteroscopy.
