Which is more serious, uterine fibroids or cervical polyps?

1. Uterine fibroids and cervical polyps are both relatively serious diseases. Without comparison, it is impossible to judge which one is more serious.

2. Uterine fibroids usually grow on the uterus and are mainly affected by changes in hormone levels in the body. They are generally divided into cervical fibroids and uterine fibroids. As the fibroids gradually increase, they will compress local tissues, affect the normal contraction of the uterus, and cause irregular menstruation, infertility, etc. In severe cases, they can also induce heavy bleeding and hemorrhagic shock, which can endanger life at any time. Uterine fibroids also have a certain tendency to become malignant. If not treated in time, they may even become cancerous.

3. Cervical polyps are abnormal growths of the cervical opening, which are caused by inflammatory infection. If the diameter is small, it generally does not cause much impact on the body, no special treatment is required, and you can go to the hospital for regular check-ups. However, if polyps are found to increase gradually, it will cause heavy menstruation, continuous bleeding, menstrual cycle disorders, etc., and be accompanied by contact bleeding. When the amount of bleeding is large, it will also cause hemorrhagic shock, affecting health, and in severe cases, it will endanger life.

4. Although the two diseases are different, their symptoms are similar and easy to confuse. Regardless of any disease, once any physical abnormality is found, seek medical attention in time for laparoscopy and abdominal B-ultrasound examination to clearly determine the specific cause, and undergo surgery in time to remove the lesion and avoid further aggravation. Pathological testing is required after surgery to determine whether there is cancer.
