Brief Answer:
Polypectomy

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Endometrial polyp seems to be the reason for increased bleeding as well as infertility.

Hence I suggest undergo hysteroscopic Polypectomy immediately which will solve both the problems.

I dont know any doctor in that area.

Please ask for a gynecologist who does laparoscopy surgeries. He will be able to perform hysteroscopic surgeries too.
