What causes endometrial polyps?

In most cases, endometrial polyps are inflammatory local endometrial polyps with a large amount of connective tissue and blood vessels inside, which are endometrial neoplasms. After endometrial polyps are formed, there may be multiple polyps of different sizes. They are mainly attached to the inner wall of the endometrium, which can prolong the menstrual period of female patients and increase the amount of menstruation. The following is an introduction to the causes of endometrial polyps.

Polyps are composed of endometrial tissue and often have altered menstrual cycles that are synchronized with the endometrium. A small number of polyp cells lack hormone receptors and only show proliferative changes, which are called non-functional polyps. The histological characteristics of endometrial polyps diagnosed by curettage are that the tissue masses are surrounded by complete epithelium, the glands are arranged in disorder and can vary in size, and inflammatory polyps are accompanied by fibrous tissue hyperplasia and chronic inflammatory cell infiltration.

It is easier to identify when the secretory endometrium is mixed with non-functional polyps. Polyps with more smooth muscle tissue are called adenomyoma-type polyps. Excessive endometrial hyperplasia may lead to the formation of polyps, and some late secretory endometrium may show polyp-like changes. Comprehensive consideration must be given to the clinical and overall histological manifestations.

Patients with endometrial polyps should pay attention to: keep their personal mood happy. Pay more attention to your diet and exercise more. Have regular physical examinations. One of the dangers of endometrial polyps is that they are manifested in symptoms. Patients with endometrial polyps may experience the following symptoms: menstrual disorders, increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, variable bleeding, and spotting.

Although endometrial polyps can be treated with surgical removal, they are prone to recurrence after surgical removal. In order to avoid recurrence, you should go to the hospital for regular physical examinations after surgery and control endometrial inflammation in a timely manner. If the inflammation is not controlled and only surgical resection is performed, the postoperative inflammatory stimulation can also cause endometrial polyps to occur again.
