    Background/Objectives: Endometrial polyps (EPs) are common benign endometrial lesions often linked to abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility. While hormonal factors play a key role in their development, recent studies suggest a potential inflammatory component. This retrospective study aimed to assess systemic inflammatory markers, including mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), in EP patients. Methods: A total of 180 patients were classified into three groups: EP (n = 60), chronic endometritis (n = 60), and control (n = 60). Preoperative hematological parameters were retrieved from medical records. Group comparisons were performed using one-way ANOVA, with Tukey's post hoc test applied when significant. Multinomial logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of EPs. Results: MPV and PLR were significantly higher in the EP group compared to other groups (p = 0.014 and p = 0.015, respectively), while NLR differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.086). Logistic regression identified MPV (p = 0.004) and PLR (p = 0.045) as independent predictors of EPs. Conclusions: These findings suggest that systemic inflammation may contribute to EP development, with MPV and PLR serving as potential inflammatory biomarkers. Further prospective studies with histopathological validation are needed to clarify the role of inflammation in EP pathogenesis.
