What are uterine polyps

Cervical problems are a gynecological problem that all women do not want to face, because most diseases after cervical problems occur will harm women's chances of pregnancy. Among them, uterine polyps are also a uterine phenomenon that exists in most women's bodies. In a sense, uterine polyps are an important manifestation of chronic uterine inflammation. Today I will explain to women the relevant knowledge about uterine polyps.

Can uterine polyps be cured? Will they recur after being cured?

In fact, cervical polyps can be said to be a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. Although the polyps can be removed, as long as the chronic inflammation of the cervix is ​​not eliminated, the pathogenic bacteria still lurk in the cervical tissue, that is, the cause of the disease still exists, and the polyps may recur again. Therefore, after removing cervical polyps, chronic inflammation of the cervix should be thoroughly treated to prevent the recurrence of cervical polyps. Even if chronic cervicitis is cured, if the individual does not pay attention to reproductive hygiene, sexual hygiene, menstrual hygiene, postpartum and abortion hygiene, etc., it is still easy to be infected by pathogenic microorganisms and cause recurrence. Therefore, the emphasis is on personal hygiene care, treatment before illness, and raising awareness of prevention. Prevention in advance can reduce the incidence rate.

What are the hazards?

1. Cervical polyps can narrow the cervical opening or deform the cervical canal, hindering the normal upward movement of sperm and affecting pregnancy. Polyps in the uterine cavity will change the endometrial environment and affect the implantation of the fertilized egg.

2. It can cause bleeding during sexual intercourse, affecting sexual life. Long-term and repeated bleeding can easily cause infection of the vagina, cervix, uterine cavity, and even the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and the entire pelvic cavity.

3. Endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, delayed menstruation, excessive menstruation, and continuous menstruation caused by polyps can easily lead to excessive blood loss and anemia, low body immunity, and greater vulnerability to various diseases.

Does it affect pregnancy?

There is definitely an impact. Because polyps located at the cervical opening or uterine cornu canalis can block some sperm from entering the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. The cause of uterine polyps is long-term stimulation of inflammation and endocrine problems. For example, chronic cervicitis and chronic endometritis will change the acidity and alkalinity of secretions and affect the normal environment of the entire cervix and endometrium, thereby destroying the normal environment required for sperm. Sperm motility and survival rate will be greatly reduced, which is not conducive to the passage of sperm. How can conception occur if sperm and egg do not meet? Or the fertilized egg is affected by polyps and cannot implant normally and develop stably after implantation, or it implants outside the uterine cavity and forms an ectopic pregnancy. If the polyps are removed, the degree of cervical inflammation is mild, the treatment is timely and thorough, and there are no sequelae, then there is still a possibility of pregnancy. In addition, cervical polyps may exist or be discovered during pregnancy. Polypectomy should be performed promptly, preferably within one month before delivery. Otherwise, the bleeding caused by polyps will cause psychological pressure on pregnant women, their emotions will be easily affected, and their endocrine system will be disrupted.
