Patient's question:
Female, 34 years old, has noticed this symptom for a long time, but the condition has not improved. She wants to have a systematic examination in the hospital to check. May I ask if it is okay not to treat uterine polyps?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are a common gynecological disease and a basic clinical feature of chronic cervical inflammation. They are caused by local fibrosis of the cervical canal mucosal tissue due to chronic inflammatory stimulation. Due to the body's natural immune response to the uterus, the fibrotic mucosa gradually changes from the base to the weaker area of the cervical external os, forming polypoid changes, hence they are also called cervical endometrial polyps. Cervical polyps are often overlooked. Because more than one-third of patients lack obvious symptoms and are only discovered during a thorough medical examination. Even if symptoms are present, they are usually mild, primarily characterized by a small amount of slight bleeding, bright red in color, or slight bleeding after sexual intercourse, which is sometimes mistaken for "menstruation-like bleeding."
