Please ask a gynecologist if cervical erosion and cervical polyps are the same thing

Patient's question:

Is cervical erosion the same as cervical polyps? What are the differences in treatment, and how are cervical polyps treated? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

The occurrence of cervical polyps is caused by childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infection, surgical procedures, or mechanical irritation such as sexual activity damage to the cervix, leading to the invasion of pathogens and subsequent infection. Since the penis comes into direct contact with the cervix during sexual activity, poor attention to sexual hygiene can directly introduce bacteria into the vagina, causing cervical inflammation and leading to cervical polyps. Long-term inflammation can result in the formation of cervical polyps. If the polyps are small, you may consider simple medication treatment. If the nabothian cysts and polyps are larger, you should consider physical treatment methods, such as LEEP treatment.
