What are the symptoms and dangers of cervical polyps?

The first symptom of cervical polyps is irregular menstruation, usually heavy menstruation or prolonged menstruation, and then leucorrhea. For some women with larger polyps, the symptom is increased leucorrhea or blood in the leucorrhea, especially after sexual intercourse or when straining to defecate, it is more likely to bleed. Cervical polyps are more likely to recur, not only due to physiological reasons but also due to daily living habits and pathological reasons.

1. First of all: If cervical polyps are not treated, they can gradually grow larger and block the cervical opening. Or if the polyps happen to block the cervical opening, it can narrow the cervical opening or deform the cervical canal, thereby preventing the normal upward movement of cancer sperm and affecting pregnancy.

2. Secondly: If cervical polyps are not treated, they will gradually grow larger and block the cervical opening. Or if the polyp happens to block the cervical opening, it can cause the cervical opening to narrow or the cervical canal to deform, thereby hindering the normal upward movement of sperm and causing infertility.

3. Finally: Cervical polyps are easily overlooked because more than 1/3 of patients lack obvious symptoms and are only discovered during doctor’s examination. Even if there are symptoms, most of them are mild, mainly a small amount of bright red spotting, or a small amount of bleeding after sexual intercourse.

Precautions

For patients with cervical polyps, they must avoid unclean sexual intercourse, have regular sexual life, and receive treatment as soon as possible. For patients who do not receive treatment for a long time, cervical polyps can also cause other gynecological diseases due to long-term inflammatory stimulation. If the treatment is not timely, it may lead to malignant lesions and may cause cervical cancer.
