What are the causes of endometrial polyps?

Endometrial polyps are a gynecological disease that many women are prone to. In severe cases, bleeding is inevitable. This disease is also the most likely to develop lesions. This is related to the uterus. If endometrial polyps are not removed in time, it is easy to develop uterine cancer, which is more harmful to women. There are many reasons for the formation of endometrial polyps, so what are the causes of endometrial polyps?

The amount of bleeding is sometimes more and sometimes less, and it is not clean. Large endometrial polyps or polyps that protrude into the cervical canal are prone to infection and necrosis, causing irregular vaginal bleeding and foul-smelling bloody discharge.

Patients with single, small endometrial polyps often have no symptoms. Due to the lack of typical and constant symptoms, endometrial polyps are often difficult to detect clinically. Menstruation is regular and is not affected by polyps, and there is no discomfort in the body. Without a hysteroscopy, it would be difficult to detect two small polyps hidden in the uterus.

Women with infertility have a high incidence of endometrial polyps, and pregnancy rates increase after polyp removal. The mechanism by which endometrial polyps cause infertility is not yet clear. It may be related to the following aspects: first, endometrial polyps are located in the uterine horns, blocking the opening of the fallopian tubes and affecting the upward movement of sperm and the combination of eggs; second, huge and multiple endometrial polyps

The first is that endometrial polyps affect the blood supply of the local endometrium, interfering with the implantation and development of the fertilized egg; the third is that endometrial polyps are combined with infection, which changes the environment in the uterine cavity, which is not conducive to sperm survival and fertilized egg implantation.

In short, no matter what the reason for your endometrial polyps, you need timely treatment so that endometrial polyps can be well controlled and your infertility can be reduced. Endometrial polyps can easily cause infertility to women if not treated in time, which deprives women of their right to be a mother. Therefore, once such a disease is contracted, it should be treated in time.
