Do you know the symptoms of cervical polyps?

Cervical polyps are accumulations formed by localized hyperplasia of the cervical mucosa and are one of the common gynecological diseases. Larger polyps may have certain clinical symptoms, while smaller polyps may not have any symptoms and are only discovered during gynecological examinations. The following is an introduction to the symptoms of cervical polyps.

Cervical polyps are accumulations formed by localized hyperplasia of the cervical mucosa and are one of the common gynecological diseases. What are the symptoms of cervical polyps? Larger polyps may have certain clinical symptoms, while smaller cervical polyps may not have any symptoms and are only discovered during gynecological examinations. Cervical polyps can occur at any age, but are more common in multiparous women over the age of 40 to 45.

Although cervical polyps are relatively common gynecological diseases, they may not cause any symptoms due to their small size and are often discovered only during examinations for other gynecological diseases. Larger polyps may cause increased vaginal discharge or complaints of contact bleeding, especially spotting or bloody vaginal discharge after sexual intercourse or defecation, and the amount of bleeding is generally not much. Polyps covered with squamous epithelium generally do not cause contact bleeding or bloody vaginal discharge due to their tough texture. If cervical polyps are accompanied by severe cervicitis, symptoms of cervicitis may also occur.

In addition, what are the symptoms of cervical polyps? The symptoms include: Pathological examination of cervical polyps shows that the center of the polyp is a longitudinal axis formed by fibrous connective tissue, in which there are many and dense blood vessels, and there are cervical tissues, including glands and stroma, on the outside, and the surface is covered with cervical mucosa. The tissue composition and structure are basically the same as normal cervical tissue. This is a typical polyp tissue phase. Polyps originating from the squamous epithelium covering the surface of the cervical vagina are relatively rare. This type of cervical polyp is essentially a herniation of the squamous epithelium of the cervical vagina after the proliferation of cervical tissue. The difference from cervical polyps is that the surface epithelium is different.

Cervical polyps are generally benign, but they often recur after removal. Cervical polyps may occasionally become malignant, with a malignancy rate of 0.2% to 0.4%. After removal, they should be routinely sent for pathological examination to avoid delaying diagnosis.
