What causes endometrial polyps?

According to statistics, many women in today's society suffer from various gynecological diseases, the most common of which are uterine erosion and endometrial polyps. For gynecological diseases such as endometrial polyps, the chance of cure is still very high if they are discovered in the early stages and treated early. However, if the disease becomes serious, it will endanger women's lives. Many friends do not understand how endometrial polyps are produced. Let’s take a look at the causes of endometrial polyps.

The cause of endometrial polyps is long-term inflammatory stimulation, which forms inflammatory growths. Endometrial polyps are caused by the proliferation of local blood vessels and connective tissue in the inflammatory endometrium, forming polyp-like growths that protrude into the uterine cavity. Polyps vary in size and number and are mostly located in the uterine body. They are attached to the inner wall of the uterine cavity with the help of slender pedicles. The main manifestations are prolonged menstruation and increased menstrual flow.

Symptoms:

1. Endometrial polyps are generally asymptomatic, and single polyps are rare.

2. Multiple and diffuse types often present with menorrhagia, prolonged menstruation or irregular vaginal bleeding. Giant polyps or polyps protruding from the cervix often become infected and necrotized, causing irregular vaginal bleeding and foul-smelling bloody discharge.

3. May cause infertility.

4. Postmenopausal vaginal bleeding may occur.

5. Gynecological examination shows that the uterus is slightly larger. If the pedicle of endometrial polyps is long, a mass can be seen or touched at the cervical opening.

The uterus is one of the physiological signs of women. Many women will even have their uterus removed when they suffer from serious gynecological diseases, but many women find it difficult to accept this. Therefore, it is very important to prevent gynecological diseases and understand gynecological knowledge. The above content is about the causes of endometrial polyps.
