What are cervical polyps?

What are cervical polyps? Experts from Jilin Guojian Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital said: Cervical polyps are a common manifestation of chronic cervicitis. Since the cervix is ??the lower end of the uterus, its inner cavity is cylindrical. Or spindle-shaped, and there is a layer of mucosa on the surface of the cervical canal. Due to long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, the cervical canal mucosa continues to proliferate and accumulate, and protrudes from the basal layer of the mucosa to the outer mouth of the cervix, thus forming cervical polyps. Cervical polyps are generally more common in married women, and larger polyps may only appear in clinical manifestations, but smaller polyps have no symptoms and are only discovered during gynecological examinations; therefore, if cervical polyps are not detected in time treatment, it will be very harmful to women's physical and mental health. The reason for the formation of cervical polyps★ It is generally believed to be caused by long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation. Due to long-term inflammation stimulation, the excessive increase of cervical mucosa makes the uterus tend to eliminate foreign bodies, so that the hyperplastic mucosa gradually moves from the base to the outer mouth of the cervix. protrudes to form polyps. ★ Usually caused by childbirth, miscarriage, puerperal infection, surgical operation or mechanical stimulation, sexual intercourse damage to the cervix, and infection caused by pathogen invasion. The dangers of cervical polyps★ Although cervical polyps are rare to become cancerous, the canceration rate is also 0.2% to 0.4%. For women over 45 years old, especially those who have cervical polyps before and after menopause, the polyps should be removed by surgery. After pathological examination, if malignant transformation is found, treatment measures should be taken as soon as possible. ★ If cervical polyps are not treated, they will gradually grow and block the cervical opening, or if the polyps happen to block the cervical opening, they can narrow the cervical opening or deform the cervical canal, thereby hindering the normal upward movement of sperm and affecting pregnancy.
