How to know if you have cervical polyps? Four detection methods can be used to determine

Cervical polyps are a common gynecological disease that can cause changes in a woman's body. After experiencing abnormal symptoms, we should promptly go to a regular hospital for reasonable examination.

What is a cervical polyp?

The clinical manifestations of cervical polyps are mainly vaginal bleeding, increased vaginal discharge with yellow color, and bloody vaginal discharge. It is one of the most common diseases of female cervical lesions, with a high incidence age of 30-49 years. Most originate within the cervical canal, with a small portion originating from the outer opening of the cervix, approximately 5-50mm. Cervical polyps often occur on the cervical canal, where the mucosal epithelium and its underlying stroma locally proliferate and protrude, forming from gravitational prolapse.

Symptoms of cervical polyps

1. Vaginal bleeding: mainly a small amount of bleeding, with bright red blood. In a few people, the amount of bleeding is similar to menstruation, which can easily confuse menstruation. Postmenopausal vaginal bleeding can also be manifested, sometimes mistaken for menopause. Some patients may experience minor bleeding after sexual activity.

2. Abnormal vaginal discharge: The patient's vaginal discharge is yellow and often has a strange odor. Some patients have vaginal discharge with blood lineage.

3. Uterine cavity or vaginal opening mass: Single or multiple, grayish red, shiny, generally small in size, with an average diameter of 0.5-2cm. The smaller ones have a diameter of only 1-2mm, while the larger ones can fill the uterine cavity.

Diagnosis of cervical polyps

1. Usually married women are prone to cervical polyps, which are not only affected by inflammation, but also related to factors such as sexual activity and pregnancy and childbirth. Usually, women with cervical polyps do not exhibit any disharmonious symptoms, with an increase in vaginal discharge, which traps their bloodline and leads to intraventricular bleeding.

2. Cervical polyps can be self diagnosed by observing their appearance. Some patients with cervical polyps experience an increase in vaginal discharge, accompanied by a small amount of blood in the center of the discharge, and even a few cases of vaginal bleeding, such as bloody discharge or palpable bleeding, especially when squatting down and forcefully defecating after sexual intercourse.

Cervical polyp examination

1. Gynecological examination: During gynecological examination, the patient's cervix is congested, edematous, or erosive. Purulent secretions are discharged from the cervical canal, causing pain when in contact with the cervix or purulent secretions at the cervix opening. The cervix is hard, such as cervical erosion or polyps, and can come into contact with bleeding.

2. Pathological examination: Observing the affected area, it can be seen that the center of the polyp is a longitudinal axis formed by fibrous connective tissue, with numerous and dense blood vessels. There are inherent tissues of the cervix, including glands and stroma, and the surface is covered by cervical mucosa. The tissue composition and structure are basically the same as normal cervical tissue, making it a typical polyp tissue.
