Small polyp on the inner side of the vagina

Girls should conduct a preliminary examination of their appearance and breasts every night. This can eliminate some disease risks and have a health-care effect. If a girl finds that she has polyps on her labia minora, and there is no pain, it is generally considered to be tissue hyperplasia, which can be removed through surgery. If there is pain, it should be considered to be inflammation. So, what are the reasons for small polyps on the inner side of the labia minora?

1. Causes and common diseases

The lamina propria of the endocervical canal constitutes the polyps of the cervix, and its organizational structure is the surface covered epithelium and subcutaneous crypt tissue. Generally, when ulcers occur on the surface epithelium, the crypt tissue underneath will become granulation tissue with certain characteristics, that is, polyps with visible symptoms; if squamous metaplasia of varying shapes occurs on the surface epithelium, this type of polyp will have dilatation of the cervical crypts. Sometimes these polyps are composed of cysts surrounded by more mucus, which are covered with squamous epithelium. If polyps proliferate abnormally, they may transform into epidermoid carcinoma or adenocarcinoma, posing a threat to women's life and health.

2. Inspection

Increased leucorrhea, slight vaginal bleeding, abnormal yellow leucorrhea, vaginal bleeding after menopause, and vaginal prolapse of tumors in unmarried women. B-ultrasound examination revealed space-occupying lesions in the cervical canal, and pathological examination showed fibroepithelial cervical polyps.

3. Treatment principles

Cervical polyps are benign gynecological diseases with a low chance of malignant transformation, with a malignant transformation rate of only 0.2% to 0.4%. They can be treated by polypectomy, but timely attention must be paid to chronic inflammation in the cervix and it must be eliminated to avoid the recurrence of polyps. Go to the hospital for regular check-ups, with the first check-up 3 months after surgery, and then once every six months and a year. Do a good job in health care during menstruation, postpartum and after miscarriage, strengthen vaginal hygiene, cultivate good living habits, change bedding frequently, etc. Nowadays, the main treatment method is radiofrequency treatment, which can quickly form a scab on the diseased tissue and prevent the spread of eroded tissue. After the patient enters the recovery period, the scab will fall off naturally and new stratified squamous epithelial tissue will be produced, thereby treating cervical polyps.
