Many women will find that they have uterine polyps during physical examinations. Women with this disease will experience many adverse reactions, such as feeling foreign objects falling out of the vagina, abnormal leucorrhea, or uterine bleeding, etc. When this disease occurs, people need to pay attention to it and take timely measures to treat it. Here are some treatments for uterine polyps.

Early symptoms include:

1. Prolapse of a tumor If polyps occur in unmarried young women, such patients may experience prolapse of a tumor at the vaginal opening.

2. Patients with abnormal leucorrhea may experience increased leucorrhea and bloody leucorrhea. A small number of polyps with larger pedicles may protrude from the cervix, causing a small amount of vaginal bleeding, or bleeding after sexual intercourse and when squatting and straining to defecate. If the polyps become ulcerated, infected, or necrotic, bloody or purulent leucorrhea may occur.

3. Patients with abnormal uterine bleeding may experience excessive menstruation, shortened or prolonged menstrual periods, or prolonged menstruation. Some patients will also bleed after sexual intercourse, the amount of bleeding in some patients is even similar to menstruation, and some patients may also experience postmenopausal vaginal bleeding.

4. Infertility and miscarriage Some patients with uterine polyps suffer from infertility or miscarriage, which is related to the location, size and number of the polyps. If polyps grow in the cervical canal, they may hinder sperm from entering the uterine cavity; if they grow in the uterine cavity, they will hinder the implantation of the fertilized egg or affect the development of the embryo, leading to infertility and miscarriage.
