What is the reason for a small fleshy ball in the vagina?

Gynecological diseases have a very high incidence rate in our lives, and are often caused by some bad living habits of women. Many women feel that there is a small lump in their vagina, but they cannot see it with their eyes and do not know what causes it. Sometimes they are embarrassed to go to a gynecological hospital for examination, and always blindly take some anti-inflammatory drugs. In fact, there are many reasons for this phenomenon, and we must prescribe the right medicine. Let’s understand what is going on with a small lump in the vagina.

What is the reason for a small fleshy ball in the vagina?

Cervical polyps are a clinical manifestation of chronic cervicitis, a common gynecological disease. It is because chronic inflammation stimulates the local proliferation of the cervical mucosal tissue. Because the uterus itself has a tendency to reject, the proliferating mucosa gradually protrudes from the base to the external os of the cervix, forming a polyp-like change, so it is also called endocervical polyp. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of cervical polyps is due to stagnant dampness and heat, which damages the nutrients in the blood and damages the blood vessels and cell bands.

Cervical polyps are caused by long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, which leads to local hyperplasia of the cervical mucosa, gradually protruding outward to form polyps. The roots of polyps are mostly attached to the external os of the cervix or in the cervical canal. If chronic cervical inflammation is not eradicated, polyps will often recur after removal. Cervical polyps may also become malignant, with a malignancy rate of approximately 0.2%-0.4%.

Cervical polyps will naturally affect pregnancy. Because the polyps located at the cervical opening act like a fence, blocking some semen from entering the uterus. With less semen, the amount of sperm will inevitably decrease, which will reduce the pregnancy rate. Besides, the essence of cervical polyps is chronic cervical inflammation. Since it is an inflammation, there will inevitably be a lot of inflammatory secretions. The secretions contain a large number of red and white blood cells and pathogenic bacteria. These secretions destroy the physiological environment of the vagina, reduce sperm motility and shorten their survival time. In addition, the mucus at the cervical opening forms a mucus plug, which hinders sperm from entering the uterine cavity. If sperm and egg don’t meet, how can conception occur? Of course, if the polyp is removed, the degree of cervical inflammation is mild, the treatment is timely and thorough, and there are no sequelae, then the possibility of pregnancy is not absolutely impossible.

Cervical polyps also have certain adverse effects on childbirth. If cervical polyps are found, polypectomy should be performed promptly, within one month before delivery. If you give birth soon after the removal, the newly healed wound will cause slight bleeding due to the dilation of the cervix. If the removal time is long and the wound heals well, there will be no bleeding. As long as the removal is clean, it will not affect fertility.

The above is an introduction to what is going on with a small ball in the vagina. After understanding it, we know that women’s gynecological diseases must be examined in a regular hospital before treatment, because some gynecological diseases, if they develop seriously, will cause infertility. In addition, female friends must pay attention to their personal hygiene in daily life, and if there are any abnormal leucorrhea, they must seek medical attention in time.
