Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How can I confirm if it's an uterine polyp?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids and uterine polyps are two conditions. Uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent diseases and a type of gynecological tumor. Uterine polyps are commonly caused by inflammatory fibrosis due to inflammation, primarily occurring in the endometrium and cervix. Both uterine fibroids and uterine polyps can affect menstruation, so they may present with similar or identical clinical manifestations. Treatment typically involves the former not requiring intervention if there are no obvious symptoms, while the latter must be addressed even in the absence of symptoms due to the risk of potential malignancy. Additionally, during the treatment of uterine polyps, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet while keeping a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the recovery of uterine polyps.
