Patient's question:
Hello, recently these past few days I haven't been feeling well, and after checking into the hospital, I was diagnosed with cervical polyps. What are the causes of cervical polyps?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are caused by long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, leading to fibrosis of the local cervical mucosa. The uterus has a tendency to expel foreign substances, causing the fibrotic mucosa to gradually form polyps from the basal layer towards the weaker areas of the cervix, one or more, generally with a diameter of about 1 cm, red in color, fragile, and prone to bleeding. Due to inflammation, polyps often recur after removal but rarely become malignant. Local treatment is the foundation, and routine cervical scraping or biopsy is performed before treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene, such as cleaning the external genitalia. In addition to standard treatment for cervical polyps, patients also need to focus on dietary aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood.
