Patient's question:
These days, while washing my underwear, I always find a lot of curd-like discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen feels uncomfortable. Please ask:Doctor's answer:
Uterine polyps are a manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation and are more common in unmarried women. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus, with its lumen being cylindrical or spindle-shaped, known as the cervical canal. Its upper end is the internal os, and its lower end is the external os. The surface of the cervical canal is covered by a layer of mucosa. Due to long-term stimulation by chronic inflammation, the mucosa of the cervical canal undergoes fibrosis and stacking, and weakens from the basal layer of the mucosa toward the cervical external os, thus forming a polyp. Before treating cervical polyps, a thorough examination of the polyps must be conducted. The examination of cervical polyps includes gynecological examinations, cervical smears, and cervical biopsies.
