Patient's question:
How can a 32-year-old female effectively prevent cervical polyps? How can a 32-year-old female effectively prevent cervical polyps?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are related to cervical erosion. Due to long-term chronic inflammation stimulating the cervical mucosa, fibrosis occurs. The uterus has a natural ability to expel foreign substances, which causes the fibrotic cervical mucosa to gradually form polyps from the base towards the weaker part of the cervix. Polyps are red, tongue-shaped, soft and fragile, and are easily bleeding upon touch. Except for the root, which is called a stalk, the stalks are usually slender and most are attached to the cervix. Cervical polyps are mostly single in growth, with most being the size of a peanut, some as small as rice grains, and some with diameters of about 1 cm. Sometimes, several polyps may also grow. Wishing you good health.
