What are the symptoms of endometrial polyps?

Endometrial polyposis is a common gynecological disease that poses a great threat to uterine health. For the disease of endometrial polyposis, everyone must pay attention to its symptoms, which will help everyone discover the disease.

The main causes of uterine polyps are

1. Chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation: Chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation lead to excessive proliferation of cervical mucosa. Coupled with the tendency of the uterus to expel foreign bodies, the proliferative mucosa gradually protrudes from the base to the external os of the cervix to form polyps.

2. Various surgical infections: usually caused by childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infection, surgical operation or mechanical stimulation, sexual intercourse that damages the cervix, and pathogen invasion that causes infection.

3. Ineffective treatment: Some patients have more than one uterine polyp of varying sizes. During surgery, only the larger polyps visible to the naked eye are removed, while the smaller polyps that are difficult to see with the naked eye or those hidden deep in the cervical canal are not removed together. Later, these "escaped" small polyps gradually grow larger and grow out of the cervical opening, forming new uterine polyps visible to the naked eye.

Uterine polyps that fill the uterine cavity will hinder the retention and implantation of sperm and fertilized eggs, and hinder the implantation of the placenta and the normal development of the embryo. If infection occurs, it will also change the internal environment of the uterine cavity, which is very unfavorable for the survival of sperm and fertilized eggs. It may also cause fallopian tube and oophoritis, leading to obstructive or anovulatory infertility.

symptom

1. Irregular bleeding: Large polyps or polyps that protrude into the cervical canal are prone to secondary infection and necrosis. This can cause irregular bleeding and sometimes a foul-smelling bloody discharge.

2. Irregular menstruation: This is a typical symptom of patients with multiple diffuse uterine polyps, which is caused by the increase in the area of ​​the endometrium and excessive proliferation of the endometrium.

3. Increased vaginal discharge: This is a typical symptom of patients with larger uterine polyps. At this time, there will be traces of blood in the vaginal discharge, and contact bleeding is likely to occur after intercourse or when straining to defecate.
