Patient's question:
Health consultation description: Hello doctor, I went to the hospital for a check-up for uterine polyps. Now I am worried that uterine polyps will transform into uterine fibroids? Thank you very much for your clarification. Desired assistance: Will uterine polyps transform into uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are caused by long-term chronic inflammation of the cervix leading to excessive fibrosis of the epithelial tissue. While fibroids are leiomyomas. Therefore, endometrial polyps or cervical polyps generally will never transform into leiomyomas. Leiomyomas are tumors within muscle tissue, but polyps may recur inflammation. It is recommended that you actively treat uterine polyps because polyps are more prone to inflammation, while uterine fibroids are generally unlikely to undergo malignant transformation.
