Are uterine polyps serious?

Because uterine polyps do not cause too many symptoms to women's bodies in the early stages, the best golden time for treatment is often missed in the early stages of uterine polyps. Many women find out that they have uterine polyps during physical examinations, and uterine polyps are also a very common gynecological disease. At this time, many female friends will be very tempted. What harm will uterine polyps cause to the body?

Many women will discover uterine polyps during physical examinations. At this time, they will be very worried and don’t know how to deal with it. It may even affect their mood and they will worry about all kinds of things all day long. Uterine polyps are the most common gynecological disease and are also a benign lesion, but they can develop into adenomatous hyperplasia or cancer, so you must be vigilant. So can uterine polyps disappear on their own? How should they be treated? Let me introduce it below.

Uterine polyps can be single or multiple during menstruation. The surrounding endometrium will fall off while the polyps will not. Under microscopic observation, the uterine polyp tissue has surface epithelium at least three times around it; it has dilated thick-walled blood vessels; and the interstitium will have varying degrees of fibrosis. Uterine polyps will not disappear on their own. If left untreated, they will lead to adenomatous hyperplasia, which will cause great harm to women's health.

Uterine polyps are caused by increased estrogen. The most obvious symptom is irregular menstruation, which can also cause infertility. It can be said that the harm is very serious. Vaginal bleeding after curettage for less than one week requires strict observation. Go to the hospital for a follow-up examination two weeks after curettage to observe the recovery of the uterus. If uterine polyps show proliferative diseases, they need to be treated as soon as possible.

Uterine polyps are treated surgically. During treatment, the cervix needs to be dilated to remove the polyps, and then the entire uterine cavity is scraped clean. Diffuse small polyps can also be removed, or they can be removed under hysteroscopy. Lasers can also be used to treat small polyps, and the effect is also quite good. Regular follow-up is required after surgery to avoid recurrence.
