Has anyone ever had cervical polyps?

There are many gynecological diseases in clinical practice at present, and many adult female patients have some gynecological diseases. Among them, cervical polyps are a very common chronic cervicitis disease. It is a long-term cumulative disease and is not formed in a short period of time. However, there is no need to worry. Most cervical polyps are benign and are unlikely to worsen. This article introduces professional content in this regard, let’s take a look.

Cervical polyps are a clinical manifestation of chronic cervicitis, a common gynecological disease. It is because chronic inflammation stimulates the local proliferation of the cervical mucosal tissue. Because the uterus itself has a tendency to reject, the proliferating mucosa gradually protrudes from the base to the external os of the cervix, forming a polyp-like change, so it is also called endocervical polyp.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of cervical polyps is due to stagnant dampness and heat, which damages the nutrients in the blood and damages the blood vessels and cell bands. When the cervix is ​​exposed with a vaginal speculum during routine gynecological examination, the polyps seen are of varying sizes and shapes, and can be roughly divided into two types: the first type of cervical polyps have their roots mostly attached to the external os of the cervix or inside the endocervical canal.

They are generally small in size, with a diameter of less than 1 cm, single or multiple, bright red in color, soft in texture, easy to bleed, and with a slender pedicle. The appearance is like a water drop forming an oblate body. Another type of cervical polyp occurs in the cervical vaginal part. This type of polyp is superficial, protrudes to the surface, has a wide base, is light red in color, and has a tough texture.

Most uterine polyps are benign, but a very small number of them become malignant, with a malignancy rate of 0.2 to 0.4%. If cervical polyps are removed, they often recur. Cervical polyps often occur in multiparous women aged 40 to 60 years old. When polyps are very small, patients do not have any discomfort symptoms. Most of the time, they are discovered during gynecological examinations due to other diseases.

A small number of larger polyps will show increased vaginal discharge, or a few traces of blood in the center of the vaginal discharge, or even a small amount of vaginal bleeding, that is, bloody vaginal discharge or contact bleeding, which is especially prone to bleeding after sexual intercourse and when squatting and straining to defecate.

Cervical polyps generally come from the cervical canal mucosa. They are the accumulation of cervical canal mucosa, and inflammation is generally considered to be the cause of polyps.

Cervical polyps are one of the common gynecological diseases in women. Cervical polyps are proliferative changes caused by long-term inflammatory stimulation of the cervix. Many women with cervical polyps search for the best treatment.
