Patient's question:
Hello, recently these past few days I haven't been feeling well, and after going to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with a cervical polyp. What are the causes of cervical polyps?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of cervical polyps is caused by factors such as childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infection, surgical operations, or mechanical irritation like sexual trauma to the cervix, leading to the entry of pathogens and subsequent infection. If sexual hygiene is not paid attention to, bacteria can be directly introduced into the vagina, causing cervical infection and inflammation. Long-term inflammation stimulation may trigger the formation of cervical polyps. It is important to pay attention to sexual hygiene, appropriately control sexual activity, and avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.
