Talk about the symptoms of cervical polyps, all the details are here

Cervical polyps are one of the common gynecological diseases in life. Because the early symptoms are not obvious, they are often ignored by many female friends. Let us learn about the specific symptoms of cervical polyps.

What are the symptoms of cervical polyps?

1. Vaginal bleeding: Some patients with cervical polyps will experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding, but many female patients mistakenly believe that it is caused by irregular menstruation, so they don’t care. It is recommended that you pay more attention to your personal condition and not miss the best treatment time.

2. Increased vaginal discharge and the presence of blood: Because of cervical polyps, inflammation may frequently stimulate the cervix, resulting in increased vaginal discharge or blood in the vaginal discharge.

3. Lumbar pain: Patients with cervical polyps will experience symptoms such as lumbar pain, pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea during menstruation. If the inflammation spreads to the cardinal ligament, symptoms of painful intercourse may also occur.

Causes of cervical polyps

1. Cervical polyps caused by inflammatory infection: generally caused by childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infection, surgical operation or mechanical stimulation, sexual intercourse that damages the cervix, and pathogen invasion that causes infection.

2. Chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation induce cervical polyps: Long-term inflammatory stimulation causes excessive proliferation of the cervical mucosa. Coupled with the uterus's tendency to expel foreign bodies, the proliferating mucosa gradually protrudes from the base to the external os of the cervix to form polyps.

The dangers of cervical polyps

1. It will cause bleeding during sexual intercourse or bloody leucorrhea, affecting the quality of sexual life.

2. 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.

3. Cervical polyps may also become cancerous. For those over 45 years old, especially those who suffer from 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.

4. 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.
