Answer the cause of cervical polyps

Although cervical polyps will not cause harm to women's bodies in the short term, they may lead to infertility over time. Therefore, the cause of cervical polyps has become a focus of concern for patients. The following will introduce this issue to you.

The cervix is ​​the lower part of the uterus, and its inner cavity is cylindrical or fusiform, called the cervical canal. Its upper end is the internal cervical os, and its lower end is the external os. There is a layer of mucous membrane on the surface of the cervical canal. Due to the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, the cervical canal mucosa continues to proliferate and accumulate, and protrude from the basal layer of the mucosa to the external os of the cervix, thus forming polyps, which is one of the causes of cervical polyps.

The roots of cervical polyps are mostly attached to the endocervical canal or the external opening of the cervix. They are generally small, with a diameter of less than 1 cm, and can be single or multiple. There are also larger ones, with a diameter of several centimeters, with pedicles, and protruding outside the cervical opening as they grow. Small polyps remain in the endocervical canal and only slightly appear at the cervical opening.

In addition, the cause of cervical polyps may also be related to endocrine disorders, especially high estrogen levels. For example, long-term inflammation may also cause cervical polyps. Cervical polyps are easily ignored because more than 1/3 of patients lack obvious symptoms and are only discovered during doctor's examination. Even if there are symptoms, most of them are relatively mild, mainly a small amount of bright red spotting, or a small amount of bleeding after sexual intercourse, but this will not be noticed by patients.

The causes of cervical polyps vary from person to person. 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.
