Patient's question:
Health consultation description: I have been experiencing constant pain in my uterus recently, though it's not very severe. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it's uterine polyps. I don't feel any significant symptoms, so I don't want to be treated. I just want to understand if leaving it untreated will worsen the condition and what might happen.What kind of assistance is needed: Are uterine polyps serious?
Doctor's answer:
It may pose a risk to health due to potential skin tearing, inflammation, and infection! Cervical polyps are formed in the cervix as a result of long-term exposure to chronic inflammation. Their shape resembles a water droplet, with a small stalk connected to the cervical canal. Due to the cervix opening outward, polyps are generally very small, with a diameter of less than 1 centimeter, bright red in color, and soft in texture, making them prone to tearing during sexual intercourse or internal examinations. Once cervical polyps are detected, they should be surgically removed.
