What causes endocervical polyps?

Polyps can appear in many organs, and the occurrence of polyps in the endocervix is ​​relatively common. Since the uterus is an important organ for women, the occurrence of polyps can cause serious consequences. Therefore, people are very concerned about the causes of polyps in the endocervix. So, what is the reason for the appearance of polyps in the cervical endometrium? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Grossly, the most common type is localized endometrial tumors protruding into the uterine cavity, which may be single or multiple, gray-red, shiny, and generally small in size, with an average diameter of 0.5 to 2 cm. The small ones are only 1 to 2 mm in diameter, while the large and multiple ones can fill the uterine cavity. The pedicles vary in thickness and length, and the longer ones may protrude beyond the cervical opening. Some have shorter pedicles and grow diffusely. The surface of the polyp often has hemorrhagic necrosis and may also be infected. If the pedicle is twisted, hemorrhagic infarction may occur.

Microscopic examination: Endometrial polyps are composed of endometrium, covered with a layer of cuboidal epithelium or low columnar epithelium. The middle part of the polyp forms a fibrous longitudinal axis, which contains blood vessels. Due to the narrow pedicle and reduced blood supply, polyps are very prone to degeneration. Polyps are most prone to intravascular thrombosis, turning dark purple due to blood stasis, and often begin to necrotize at the top, and may eventually rot and fall off.

The above is an introduction to the causes of cervical endometrial polyps. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. There are many reasons for the appearance of cervical endometrial polyps. We must have a systematic understanding of them and take preventive measures in daily life to avoid their occurrence in ourselves. In addition, when you suffer from this disease, you must seek timely treatment.
