Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination to find the cause of my irregular menstruation. To my surprise, they discovered cervical polyps. I'm only 21 years old, and I have a boyfriend. However, we've only had contact twice, and both times I felt a lot of pain, so I didn't continue. Also, I never noticed any discomfort down there before, and we didn't have any actual sexual activity. What could have caused me to develop cervical polyps?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are formed due to the long-term impact of chronic cervical inflammation, leading to fibrosis and weakness of the local mucosa in the cervical canal. This is primarily related to the long-term effects of chronic gynecological inflammation, although the frequency of sexual activity is not very high. However, the possibility of transmitting bacteria cannot be ruled out. Additionally, during the treatment of cervical polyps, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of cervical polyps.
