What harm does cervical polyp do to the human body?

Cervical polyps are a disease that female friends are prone to, and it is also a gynecological disease. It usually occurs after suffering from chronic cervicitis. After the disease occurs, it will affect the patient's life and body. Therefore, after having cervical polyps, you must pay attention to it and actively adjust and treat it. This situation is particularly harmful to female patients. What harm does cervical polyps do to the human body? Let’s take a look.

Cervical polyps are formed when the cervical mucosa undergoes local proliferation due to inflammation and protrudes out of the external os of the cervix. Cervical polyps are related to inflammatory endocrine disorders, especially excessive estrogen levels. The hazards mainly include the following aspects:

1. 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.

2. It can also cause bleeding during sexual intercourse or bloody leucorrhea, affecting sexual life.

3. If women suspect they have vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease or other inflammations, they should consider having a comprehensive gynecological examination to detect and treat the disease in a timely manner.

4. Cervical polyps are often related to chronic cervical inflammation. If only the polyps are removed, the chronic inflammation of the cervix is ​​not eliminated, and the pathogens are still lurking in the cervical tissue, so recurrence is still possible. Therefore, after treating cervical polyps, chronic cervical inflammation should also be treated to prevent recurrence of polyps.

5. Although polyps rarely become cancerous, the cancer rate is also between 0.2% and 0.4%. For those over 45 years old, especially those with cervical polyps before and after menopause, the polyps should be sent for pathological examination after surgical removal. If there are signs of malignancy, treatment measures should be taken as soon as possible. Even if the polyps are removed, they will still recur as long as the inflammation exists.

6. Cervical polyps are a common gynecological disease, which is more common in women aged 30-50. The disease is mainly caused by long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, which leads to excessive proliferation of local mucosa of the cervical canal. In addition, the uterus has a tendency to expel foreign bodies, causing the hyperplastic mucosa to gradually protrude from the base to the external os of the cervix to form polyps. Polyps are mostly benign, but sometimes they may be part of cervical cancer, so special attention must be paid.

7. The occurrence of cervical polyps, in addition to inflammatory stimulation, is also related to factors such as sexual life and childbirth. Married women account for more than 98% of patients. Because more than one-third of patients have no obvious symptoms, even if there is inflammation, it is mostly mild and vaginal bleeding is only sporadic, so cervical polyps are easily ignored. Some patients experience bleeding after sexual intercourse, strenuous exercise, or even increased abdominal pressure. Some patients may have yellow leucorrhea, which often has an odor or contains blood.

8. The key to preventing cervical polyps is to keep the vulva clean and actively prevent and treat vaginitis and cervical erosion. For married men and women, before each sexual intercourse, each person should clean the vulva, especially the man should remove the smegma to avoid bringing the bacteria in it into the vagina. You should dry your bedding frequently and change your underwear often. We should also strengthen physical exercise to improve the body's disease resistance.

Through the above introduction, we now know the harm of cervical polyps to the human body. This is also a gynecological disease that female friends are prone to in life. It is generally caused by not receiving timely treatment after contracting the disease. Therefore, female friends should take care of their bodies in normal times, and check and treat in time if they find any abnormal conditions.
