Patient's question:
Over the past few months, I've been feeling aching and soreness in my legs, a heavy pain in the lower abdomen, irregular menstruation, excessive white discharge that looks like curd, a strong odor, and irregular skin peeling. Intercourse is also painful. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have cervical polyps. What assistance do I need: What are the symptoms of cervical polyps?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are a manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. Due to the impact of chronic inflammation, the local fibrosis of the cervical canal mucosa gradually weakens outward, forming polyps. The roots of most polyps are attached to the external os of the cervix or within the cervical canal. Polyps are generally small, with diameters usually less than 1 centimeter, and can be single or multiple. They are bright red in color, soft in texture, with slender stalks, and are easily friable. If chronic cervical inflammation is not resolved, polyps often recur after removal. It is recommended that cervical polyps may have malignant potential. Once detected, surgical removal should be performed, followed by active treatment of chronic cervical inflammation and attention to hygiene.
