What are the causes and prevention methods of endometrial polyps?

Female diseases have different names according to different parts of the body, but the characteristics of the diseases are similar. Therefore, gynecological diseases are very complicated. Common diseases include endometrial polyps. Patients should know the causes of endometrial polyps and effective ways to prevent them. Only in this way can they stay away from the adverse factors around them and avoid endometrial polyps. So what are the causes and prevention methods of endometrial polyps?

The main causes of uterine polyps are:

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.

Prevention of endometrial polyps:

The occurrence of uterine 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.

The key to preventing uterine 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.

There are clear answers to the causes and prevention methods of endometrial polyps. The symptoms of organs in the uterus cannot be observed with the naked eye, and the type of disease cannot be accurately determined. Therefore, patients should have regular physical examinations, and can have a full-body examination or gynecological examination every six months or a year. Mild polyps do not need treatment, but hygienic care and regular check-ups must be done. However, if the condition changes, treatment should be given according to the severity of the disease.
