What causes endometrial polyps?

The cause of endometrial polyps is considered to be related to mechanical stimulation, abnormal hormone secretion, and stimulation of inflammatory factors. Patients can cooperate with doctors to complete relevant pathological examinations to clarify the specific cause of the disease.

Causes of endometrial cancer:

1. Mechanical stimulation: If there is a contraceptive ring in the uterine cavity or abortion surgery is performed frequently, the endometrium may be damaged due to mechanical stimulation, thereby promoting excessive proliferation of the endometrium and causing symptoms of endometrial polyps.

2. Abnormal hormone secretion: In daily life, if you consume estrogen-rich foods such as royal jelly and soy products for a long time or receive hormone replacement therapy during the perimenopausal period, it may lead to excessive estrogen secretion and cause symptoms of endometrial polyps.

3. Stimulation of inflammatory factors: If you already have diseases such as endometritis, cervicitis, etc., the stimulation caused by inflammation may also increase the incidence of endometrial polyps.

Prevention of endometrial polyps:

To prevent the occurrence of endometrial polyps, patients are advised to keep their vulva and vagina clean in their daily lives. Avoid taking hormone-containing foods or drugs for a long time to avoid increasing the risk of endometrial polyps. If endometrial polyps occur, actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment and follow the doctor's instructions for follow-up examinations after surgery to prevent the recurrence of endometrial polyp symptoms.
