Patient's question:
I've been feeling that my menstrual cycle has been very irregular for the past few months, so I went to the gynecology department for a check-up. Unexpectedly, the doctor told me I had cervical polyps. But what exactly are cervical polyps? I don't really understand.What exactly are cervical polyps?
Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are caused by chronic cervical inflammation. Polyps are fragile and prone to peeling and breaking under slight touch. However, menstruation is composed of peeled-off endometrium. During the growth and development of the endometrium, endocrine interference occurs, so menstrual disorders are related to endocrine disorders. Cervical polyps will never interfere with the onset of menstruation. When polyps are large, they may block the cervical opening, leading to female infertility and carrying the potential for malignancy.
