What are the symptoms of uterine polyps?

Patient's question:

I recently went to the hospital for a thorough physical check-up. The doctor said I have uterine polyps, but I don't feel anything. Is it really uterine polyps? What are the symptoms?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with uterine polyps generally have the following symptoms:
1. Very small cervical polyps often cause no symptoms and are usually discovered during a gynecological examination.
2. Except for polyps originating from the vaginal part of the cervix, which are harder and more resilient, with a squamous epithelial surface exposed, appearing pink, and bleeding less easily upon touch.
3. Uterine polyps are most commonly composed of mucosal polyps formed by fibrosis of the mucosal epithelium. These polyps should be removed as soon as they are detected.
Some women do not pay much attention to their bodies on a daily basis. When minor ailments strike, they often think it’s okay to endure them. It’s only when the condition significantly affects them that they start to take it seriously, making treatment more difficult at that point. Therefore, it’s important to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment in a timely manner.
