Are cervical polyps serious?

The uterus is a very important organ for female friends. All major events in a woman's life pass through the uterus. This includes when women are pregnant, it all happens in the uterus. But now more and more women are suffering from uterine diseases. Including cervical erosion, cervicitis and so on. Cervical polyps are a type of cervicitis. So, are cervical polyps serious? Let’s take a look at it together.

Cervical polyps are a manifestation of chronic cervicitis and are more common in married women. Polyps originate from the cervical mucosa and have a layer of columnar epithelium covered with abundant microvessels on the surface, making them bright red, soft and fragile. It is related to cervical erosion, which is caused by long-term inflammatory stimulation of the cervix and causes hyperplasia of the cervical mucosa. From the bleeding itself. Guidance: Cervical polyps have little impact on health, but cervical polyps formed by long-term chronic inflammation may become malignant. Therefore, once cervical polyps are found, they should be treated actively. Generally, surgical removal is the main method, and drugs, lasers and other methods can also be used. The removed polyps should be sent for pathological examination to rule out whether they have become malignant. The surgery to remove polyps is very small, but if the polyps are large, or the patient suffers from hypertension, heart disease or blood disease, the surgery should be performed with caution. Also pay attention to regular check-ups after surgery!

Cervical polyps are a type of chronic cervicitis. The roots of the polyps are generally attached to the cervical opening or the cervical canal. They are formed by local hyperplasia of the cervical mucosa under the long-term stimulation of inflammation, and protruding outward into the vagina. The surface of the polyp is covered by a layer of columnar epithelium, which contains cervical glands. The stroma is rich in microvessels and loose connective tissue, accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration. This type of polyp can be single or multiple, and is generally small in size, with a diameter of less than 1 cm. It is tongue-shaped, bright red, soft and brittle, easy to bleed, and has a slender pedicle. The columnar epithelium on the surface of the polyp will undergo squamous metaplasia due to changes in the acidic environment of the vagina.

After surgical removal of cervical polyps, care should be taken to prevent recurrence, because if chronic cervical inflammation is not cured, cervical polyps will grow again. Recovery after treatment is also important. After surgical removal, basal cells are exposed during the repair process. If the time is too long, HPV, also known as cervical cancer virus, will have an opportunity to enter the human body. If you experience vaginal bleeding or abnormal vaginal discharge after surgery, seek medical attention immediately.
