Polyps on the cervix

Cervical polyps refer to the hyperplasia and growth of the cervical mucosa under the stimulation of inflammation. Cervical polyps are also another manifestation of cervicitis. Cervical polyps cannot be cured only by taking medicine. If the inflammation is not eliminated, there will be complications. Repeated attacks will be more harmful. In addition, the polyps on the cervix may become diseased, from one to two, which will have a greater impact on the body.

1 If cervical polyps are not treated, they will gradually grow larger and block the cervical opening. Or if the polyp happens to block the cervical opening, it can cause the cervical opening to narrow or the cervical canal to deform, thereby hindering the normal upward movement of sperm and causing infertility.

2. It will cause bleeding during sexual intercourse or bloody leucorrhea, affecting sexual life.

3 Cervical polyps are often related to chronic cervical inflammation. If only the polyps are removed, the chronic inflammation of the cervix is ​​not eliminated, and the pathogens are still lurking in the cervical tissue, so recurrence is still possible. Therefore, after treating cervical polyps, chronic cervical inflammation should also be treated to prevent recurrence of polyps.

4 Cervical polyps may also become cancerous. For those over 45 years old, especially those with cervical polyps before and after menopause, the polyps should be sent for pathological examination after surgical removal. If there are signs of malignancy, treatment measures should be taken as soon as possible. Even if the polyps are removed, they will still recur as long as the inflammation exists.

5 The occurrence of cervical polyps, in addition to inflammatory stimulation, is also related to factors such as sexual life and childbirth. Married women account for more than 98% of patients. Because more than one-third of patients have no obvious symptoms, even if there is inflammation, it is mostly mild and vaginal bleeding is only sporadic, so cervical polyps are easily ignored.

Some patients experience bleeding after sexual intercourse, strenuous exercise, or even increased abdominal pressure. Some patients may have yellow leucorrhea, which often has an odor or contains blood. All these will have a great impact on the normal life of female patients and even affect pregnancy.
