What is vaginal budding?

When small particles are found in a woman's vagina, it may be caused by uterine polyps, which is a common gynecological disease, and as the disease continues to develop, it is likely to cause female infertility. Therefore, once small particles are found in the vagina, women must pay enough attention to it and it is best to see a doctor in time. Below is a detailed introduction to some of the causes and treatments of uterine polyps.

In medicine, uterine intrauterine polyps refer to the penetration of local uterine wall glandular ducts and interstitial space and the accompanying vascular protection into the uterus. It is a common gynecological uterine cavity disease. It can grow anywhere in the uterus, it can grow alone, or it can be spread throughout the uterus in groups of several. Small intrauterine polyps are only 0.2~0.3cm, and large ones are 2~3cm or larger. They can be oval, triangular or irregular in shape. Most cysts have pedicles at the roots. The causes of uterine polyps may be related to inflammation, endocrine disorders, especially excessive estrogen levels in the body. Patients with uterine polyps may experience the following main symptoms: menstrual disorders, increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstruation, frequent bleeding, and unclear bleeding. Large uterine polyps or cysts that break into the cervical canal are prone to infection and necrosis, causing irregular vaginal bleeding and foul-smelling pink discharge.

Patients with solitary, smaller intrauterine polyps usually have no symptoms. Because uterine intrauterine polyps lack typical and stable symptoms, they are usually not detected clinically. The menstrual period is normal and is not affected by the cyst, and the body does not feel any discomfort. If hysteroscopy is not performed, it is difficult to detect two small polyps hidden in the uterus.

Women with infertility have a high incidence of uterine polyps, and pregnancy rates improve after cyst removal. The mechanism by which uterine polyps cause infertility is still not very clear. It may be related to the following aspects: First, uterine polyps are located at the uterine cornu, blocking the opening of both fallopian tubes, affecting the rise of sperm and the fusion of eggs; second, large and multiple uterine polyps affect the blood supply to part of the endometrium, affecting embryo implantation and development; third, uterine polyps combined with infection change the natural environment of the uterine cavity, which is not conducive to sperm survival rate and embryo implantation.

The doctor introduced that the diagnosis of uterine intrauterine polyps was mainly based on hysterography, B-ultrasound and diagnostic curettage in the past. However, too much contrast agent introduced during contrast examination can cover the cyst, and it is easy to be confused with submucosal uterine fibroids, bubbles in the uterine cavity, etc.; B-ultrasound examination is affected by the menstrual cycle, and small cysts may be misdiagnosed; diagnostic curettage may miss scrapes, or sometimes the tissue is scraped into pieces and a definitive diagnosis cannot be confirmed. Therefore, hysterography, B-ultrasound and diagnostic curettage are all limited in diagnosing uterine intrauterine polyps. Most uterine polyps are small in size and cannot be detected even if the traditional method mentioned above is used for repeated examinations, which makes doctors mistakenly believe that the "uterus is normal" and delays treatment.

Hysteroscopy is widely used in hospital clinics for diagnosis. Hysteroscopy can observe the uterine cavity under visual observation with clear visualization. After eliminating uterine cavity malignancies such as endometrial cancer, large and small uterine cavity polyps can be removed immediately under hysteroscopic observation. For patients with multiple lesions, young age, and fertility requirements, a comprehensive curettage can be performed under hysteroscopy to avoid missed curettage. For patients with fertility requirements, it can not only completely cure uterine polyps, but also maintain the integrity of the uterus. Experts suggest that hysteroscopic treatment of intrauterine polyps should be performed within one week after the menstrual period is over, because the uterine wall is relatively thin at this time and it is not easy to cover the cyst.

During the treatment period of uterine polyps, you should also pay attention to the hygiene of the private parts. When wearing underwear, it is best to choose comfortable and loose underwear to avoid friction on the vagina as much as possible to avoid aggravating the severity of uterine polyps due to long-term hematoma and swelling of the vagina.
