What should women do if they have polyps in their urethra?

Now the quality of life is gradually improving, but there are more and more female diseases. Perhaps it is because the living environment has deteriorated, or it may be that everyone is busy making money and forgets to take care of their bodies. Especially as women get older, their physical fitness must be not as good as before, whether it is immunity or the body's digestive ability. Therefore, if there are polyps at the urethral opening, how should we treat it!

It is more common in menopausal women and is believed to be related to a severe decrease in estrogen. Histologically, different degrees of inflammatory cell infiltration, fibrosis and varicose veins can be seen, but cancer is rare. It can be divided into three types: papilloma type, hemangioma type and granuloma type.

Asymptomatic people do not need treatment. Most of them have good results with topical estrogen ointment. For those who do not heal for a long time, electrocautery, freezing, laser or surgical resection can be used.

Urethral caruncle is a common urethral disease in women. It is a tumor-like tissue that appears at the female urethral opening, also known as urethral granuloma or vascular polyp. It is more common in menopausal women and is believed to be related to the severe decrease in estrogen. Histologically, different degrees of inflammatory cell infiltration, fibrosis and varicose veins can be seen. It rarely becomes cancerous and can be divided into three types, namely papilloma type, hemangioma type and granuloma type.

The main manifestations are small swelling at the urethral opening, local pain, bleeding and burning sensation during urination. Physical examination shows that the caruncle is mostly located at 6 o'clock, generally 0.5-1.0 cm in size, with a pedicle or broad base, light red or dark red, soft and painful to touch, and easy to bleed. A few larger ones may be ring-shaped around the urethral opening. The diagnosis can be made based on clinical manifestations.

In fact, no matter where the problem is in the body, everyone has to make the decision based on each person's physical fitness. It is impossible for everyone to use the same treatment method regardless of the severity of the illness. Therefore, the most important thing is to go to the hospital for examination first. I hope everyone will recover soon.
