Patient's question:
What are the causes of cervical polyps? What should I do if I have cervical polyps? Recently, there have been some blood streaks in my vagina, and the hospital's thorough examination said it was a cervical polyp. Lately, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very afraid it will affect my fertility, and I'm also extremely afraid of cold and coldness.Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are one manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation and are more common in unmarried women. Polyps originating from the cervical mucosa are covered by a layer of columnar epithelium, rich in microvessels, making them bright red, soft, and fragile. They can easily break with slight manipulation, leading to frequent reinfection and the formation of ulcers. Another type of polyp originates from the vaginal part of the cervix, covered by stratified squamous epithelium. Due to the predominance of fibrous connective tissue in the stroma, these polyps are light red in color, relatively tough, have a wider base, and are superficially located.Hello, the recurrence of cervical polyps is caused by factors such as childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infection, surgical procedures, or mechanical irritation like sexual trauma to the cervix, leading to the infiltration of pathogens and subsequent infection.
