Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially severe during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect my fertility. I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts.What is an uterine polyp, and how is it formed?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, uterine polyps are primarily caused by the fibrosis of granulation tissue due to endometrial inflammation, which may lead to changes in menstrual flow, such as vaginal discharge and erosion. Generally, diagnostic dilation and curettage or hysteroscopic polypectomy can be performed. Afterwards, some medication may be needed to suppress the recurrence of polyps, and early treatment is relatively appropriate. There are many methods to treat uterine polyps, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
