Symptoms and examination methods of endometrial polyps

Endometrial polyps are also a relatively common disease, which is also very harmful to patients. Sometimes the symptoms are relatively mild, which can cause vaginal spotting, often causing abnormal leucorrhea, leading to increased leucorrhea, and sometimes blood in the leucorrhea. If these symptoms often occur, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to prevent the harm to women's health.

Symptoms of endometrial polyps include:

1. Tumor prolapse

If cervical polyps occur in unmarried young women, such patients may show symptoms of prolapse of a swelling at the vaginal opening.

2. Abnormal leucorrhea

When patients with cervical polyps experience increased vaginal discharge and blood in their vaginal discharge, the possibility of cervical polyps should be considered. This is because the cervix frequently contracts under the stimulation of inflammation, causing an increase in female secretions. The cervix is ​​rich in blood vessels and has a thin epithelial layer. A small amount of bleeding may occur due to inflammation, so a small amount of blood may sometimes be seen in the leucorrhea.

3. Vaginal bleeding

The early symptoms of cervical polyps also include a small amount of bleeding, which is sometimes bright red in color. 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. Vaginal bleeding is more common or may worsen in patients who are overworked or under too much stress.

What are the methods for detecting endometrial polyps?

1. Cervical biopsy

For patients with more serious conditions, a cervical biopsy can be performed to confirm the diagnosis .

2. Gynecological examination

Acute inflammation may cause cervical congestion, edema, or erosion, with purulent secretions discharged from the cervical canal, and there may be pain when the cervix is ​​touched. Chronic cervicitis may show varying degrees of cervical hypertrophy, polyps, glandular cysts, and ectropion, or purulent secretions at the cervical os and a hard cervix upon palpation. If it is cervical disease or polyps, there may be contact bleeding.

3. Microscopic examination

Endometrial polyps are composed of the endometrium, covered with a layer of cuboidal epithelium or low columnar epithelium. The middle part of the polyp forms a fibrous longitudinal axis, which contains blood vessels. Due to the narrow pedicle and reduced blood supply, polyps are very prone to degeneration. Polyps are most prone to intravascular thrombosis, turning dark purple due to congestion, and often begin to necrotize at the top, and may eventually rot and fall off.

Conclusion: The above article content gives us a detailed explanation about uterine polyps. It is composed of the endometrium. We can check it through microscopy. Gynecological examination is also very necessary. In daily life, we can only take some treatment measures after confirming the disease through some examination methods.
