What does stromal decidualization of endometrial polyps mean?

The uterus is a very important part of the female body. Its main function is to ovulate for women and it is also the cradle of the baby when the woman becomes pregnant in the future. However, the inside of a woman's uterus is very prone to disease, causing uterine inflammation, and long-term uterine inflammation will form cervical polyps. Cervical polyps are a type of hyperplasia inside the uterus, so what does stromal decidualization of endometrial polyps mean?

Causes of endometrial polyps

1. Chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation: Chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation lead to excessive proliferation of cervical mucosa. Coupled with the tendency of the uterus to expel foreign bodies, the proliferative mucosa gradually protrudes from the base to the external os of the cervix to form polyps.

2. Various surgical infections: usually caused by childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infection, surgical operation or mechanical stimulation, sexual intercourse that damages the cervix, and pathogen invasion that causes infection.

3. Ineffective treatment: Some patients have more than one endometrial polyp of varying sizes. During surgery, only the larger polyps visible to the naked eye are removed, while the smaller polyps that are difficult to see with the naked eye or those hidden deep in the cervical canal are not removed together. Later, these "escaped" small polyps gradually grow larger and grow out of the cervical opening, forming new endometrial polyps visible to the naked eye.

4. Not paying attention to personal hygiene: If women do not pay attention to personal hygiene, they are likely to suffer from gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis and cervicitis. These inflammations can irritate the female cervix and cause the occurrence of endometrial polyps, so female friends must pay attention to personal hygiene and actively prevent the occurrence of gynecological diseases.

5. Unclean sexual life: If both men and women do not clean their reproductive organs before sexual intercourse, it is easy for bacteria to enter the female vagina during sexual intercourse, thus causing the occurrence of endometrial polyps.

6. Endocrine disorders: Endometrial polyps are related to excessively high estrogen levels. Estrogen promotes 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.

Endometrial polyp prevention

1. Regularly participate in physical exercise activities to enhance personal physical fitness and improve body immunity.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene, including menstrual hygiene, keep the vulva clean on a daily basis, and wear more breathable underwear such as cotton.

3. Maintain a happy mood and optimistic attitude towards life, and adjust personal negative emotions in time.

4. Take some contraceptive pills according to the instructions, which can ensure the health of your body while ensuring proper contraception.

5. Go to the gynecological hospital for regular check-ups. It is emphasized here that when vulvar itching occurs or after some gynecological surgeries have been performed, regular check-ups should be carried out to avoid delaying treatment and prevent the risk of recurrence.

6. When women discover gynecological inflammation, they should not choose to ignore it. They must actively check and treat it. If the disease is found, it must be removed surgically as soon as possible.

7. 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.

8. Strengthen health care during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Regular physical examinations should be conducted during pregnancy to detect diseases in a timely manner 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.
