What is the cause of uterine polyps? 5 causes are at work!

The appearance of uterine polyps has brought adverse effects to many female friends. The reasons are closely related to long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, various surgical infections, ineffective treatment, lack of attention to personal hygiene, and unclean sexual life.

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 uterine 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 uterine 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 uterine 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 woman's vagina during sexual intercourse, thus causing uterine polyps.

It is necessary for everyone to understand why uterine polyps occur. Only by understanding the causes of uterine polyps can we do a good job of prevention to avoid the occurrence of the disease. At the same time, for patients with uterine polyps, knowing the cause of the disease and taking corresponding treatment can best achieve the therapeutic effect.
