What are the causes of endometrial polyps?

First, inflammatory factors. Women who suffer from gynecological inflammation for a long time are prone to uterine polyps, and long-term inflammatory stimulation will cause the polyps to grow larger and larger.

Second, endocrine disorders. Endometrial polyps are associated with high estrogen levels, which promote the development of the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries themselves, while the endometrium proliferates and produces menstruation. The endometrium is only stimulated by estrogen and lacks the effect of progesterone, which causes the endometrium to grow without restriction and is prone to polyps.

Third, pathogen infection. It is usually caused by childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infection, surgical operation or mechanical stimulation, sexual intercourse damaging the cervix, and infection caused by invasion of pathogens. Therefore, women with gynecological inflammation must actively check and treat to avoid complications of more diseases.

What are the dangers of having polyps in the uterus?

First, it affects sex 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 deformation of the cervical canal, thereby hindering the normal upward movement of sperm and affecting pregnancy.

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

It often occurs in middle-aged women around 45 years old. Especially those who suffer from uterine polyps after menopause should be more cautious and not let the polyps turn into erosion.

How to prevent uterine polyps:

First, pay attention to menstrual hygiene: During menstruation, women should keep their private parts clean and replace menstrual pads in time. Avoid sexual intercourse and bathing during menstruation. Try not to have a gynecological examination during your menstrual period.

Second, avoid multiple abortions: Artificial abortion surgery can easily damage the endometrium, especially irregular surgery, which can easily cause damage to the uterine cavity, trigger inflammation, and lead to a variety of gynecological diseases. If women do not intend to become pregnant, they should actively take contraceptive measures.

Third, strengthen health care during pregnancy and the postpartum period: regular physical examinations should be conducted during pregnancy to detect diseases in time for timely treatment. Pay attention to hygiene during pregnancy and take a bath and change clothes frequently. In the late pregnancy, because the cervix gradually relaxes, you should avoid taking a bath in a tub and have sex to avoid infection. During the postpartum period, the vulva should be kept clean, and bathing and changing underwear should be done frequently. Sexual intercourse and tub bathing should be avoided for at least 1 month during this period.

Fourth, keep a happy mood. Women should maintain a good and optimistic mood, pay attention to adjusting their personal mentality, and relieve negative emotions in time to avoid affecting their endocrine condition. If you find any abnormal conditions such as vulvar itching, increased secretions, etc., you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
