Endometrial polyps are another type of chronic endometritis, in which local blood vessels and connective tissue in the inflammatory endometrium proliferate, forming pedicled polyp-like growths that protrude into the uterine cavity. The polyps vary in size and number and are mostly located in the uterine body. Intracervical polyps can cause cervical dilation and prolapse of the external opening.
