Why do cervical polyps occur?

Cervical polyps are a manifestation of chronic cervicitis, which is caused by long-term inflammation and stimulation of the cervical mucosa. Polyps contain capillaries, connective tissue and cervical gland ducts, and the surface is covered with columnar epithelial cells. When they first occur, the symptoms are very mild, and many people even think it can be cured. Let’s take a look at how cervical polyps occur.

How do cervical polyps occur? Five bad habits lead to "polyps"

1. Excessive Cleaning

Some women, because they love cleanliness, often use lotions to clean the vagina, which in turn damages the cervical epithelial cells. This will not only easily cause cervical erosion, but the inflammation will also continue to irritate the cervix and cause uterine polyps.

2. Sitting for a long time without moving

Habitual long-term sitting not only makes the lower body blood circulation poor, but more importantly, it will make the private parts breathable, blood circulation is blocked, and it is more prone to infection.

3. Use sanitary napkins

Since sanitary napkins have poor breathability, long-term use can easily cause infection. Therefore, it is recommended that you avoid using sanitary napkins as much as possible, and use them for a short period of time when the menstrual flow is small.

4. Artificial abortion

Artificial abortion can cause reflex irritation to the cervix, making it more susceptible to bacterial infection, thus causing cervical polyps.

5. Not paying attention to private hygiene

If women do not pay attention to hygiene, they are also prone to polyps. Such as not changing underwear frequently and not cleaning the vulva properly.

The most direct way to treat cervical polyps is surgical removal, but because they are caused by inflammation, even if the polyps are removed, the inflammation is not eliminated, and the bacteria will continue to invade other tissues and cause polyps to relapse.

Therefore, it is recommended that female friends remove their own polyps and at the same time carry out reliable treatment of the inflammation to prevent the recurrence of polyps.
