Patient's question:
Female, 36 years old, has been infertile for a long time, irregular menstruation, delayed or excessive bleeding, bilateral fallopian tube blockage, and was found to have polyps in the uterus during examination. Surgery needs to be performed!Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine polyps, also known as cervical polyps, are a common gynecological condition and a type of chronic cervical inflammation. They are caused by inflammatory stimulation leading to the proliferation of cervical endometrial tissue. The uterus has a tendency to expel foreign objects, causing the proliferated mucosa to gradually protrude from its base toward the external cervical os, resulting in polypoid changes. Therefore, they are also referred to as cervical endometrial polyps. Most are benign, but larger polyps may occasionally cause light vaginal bleeding or bleeding during sexual intercourse or straining during a bowel movement.If accompanied by inflammation, infection must be controlled first. If bleeding occurs, the primary focus should be on stopping the bleeding, and surgery should be performed after the inflammation is under control.
Women who develop cervical polyps around menopause should have the polyps sent for pathological examination after surgical removal. If any signs of malignancy are detected, early treatment measures should be taken.
This condition is prone to recurrence, so regular follow-up is necessary after surgery, with check-ups every three months. Pay attention to hygiene and promptly treat endometrial inflammation. Early diagnosis, active treatment, and proper follow-up are essential for managing this condition.
