Patient's question:
Last week, when I had sex with my husband, my vagina suddenly developed broken skin. I usually have a lot of leukorrhea, and blood streaks have also appeared in it. After the doctor's internal examination, they said I have cervical polyps.How is cervical polyp defined medically?
Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are formed due to the impact of inflammation, elevated estrogen levels, and the transmission of pathogens, leading to local fibrosis in the cervical canal that extends to the weak area of the external cervical os. Cervical polyps are generally recommended for surgical treatment, with the specimen sent for pathological examination. Since polyps are prone to recurrence, it is advised to surgically remove them and, after removal, to perform cervical anti-inflammatory and physical therapy to alleviate chronic cervical inflammation. Wishing you good health.
