Is it serious if there are polyps in the cervix?

The uterus is one of the most important organs of women. Any problems with the uterus will affect the female body. Uterine polyps and endometritis are common uterine diseases in women. Women with uterine polyps may also have certain concerns about how to treat them. Is it okay to have uterine polyps?

Uterine polyps can have varying degrees of impact on women. If they are small, they can affect menstruation. If they are more serious, they can affect pregnancy. Uterine polyps need to be treated promptly. If they are small polyps, conservative treatment with medication can be carried out under the doctor's advice. If they are large or there are many polyps, they need to be removed through surgery or electrocautery. Women do not need to worry too much, and maintaining a calm mood is crucial.

What will happen to a woman's body if she has uterine polyps?

First, it affects the couple’s life. If uterine polyps are not treated, they will gradually grow larger and block the cervix, causing bleeding during sexual intercourse or bloody leucorrhea.

Second, it affects pregnancy. If uterine polyps block the cervical opening, it will cause cervical stenosis or cervical canal deformation, thereby hindering the normal flow of sperm and affecting pregnancy.

Third, it causes other gynecological diseases. For patients who do not receive treatment for a long time, uterine polyps will also cause other gynecological diseases such as cervical erosion and cervical hypertrophy due to long-term inflammatory stimulation.

Fourth, there is a risk of disease. Although uterine polyps are rare, the incidence rate is between 0.2% and 0.4%. They usually occur in middle-aged women around 45 years old. Women with uterine polyps after menopause, in particular, should be more careful and not let the polyps develop into erosive levels.
