Doctor's answer:

The etiology of uterine polyps is multifactorial, with the vast majority being related to inflammation and endocrine disorders, particularly excessively high estrogen levels. For example, women with long-term gynecological inflammation are prone to developing uterine polyps. Uterine polyps are also a type of chronic cervical inflammation. Some women with cervical erosion or vaginitis may easily lead to downward transmission, causing bacterial penetration into the cervical opening, which results in the formation of uterine polyps. Such cases are common, and prolonged inflammation can cause polyps to grow larger. Therefore, gynecological experts advise: women with gynecological inflammation must actively undergo examination and treatment to avoid other inflammatory issues. It is recommended to seek timely medical treatment at the gynecology department of a hospital. Based on the size, location, morphology of the polyps, and the patient's age, different treatment methods will be adopted.
