What harm does uterine polyp have?

At present, the etiology of uterine polyps is not very clear, which may be related to estrogen secretion and other factors. Uterine polyp is a kind of hyperplasia caused by abnormal growth of endometrium. Long-term existence may cause a series of injuries to the body, mainly including the following aspects:

1, menstrual changes: it can be manifested as prolonged menstrual period, increased menstrual flow, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc. ;

2, contact bleeding: if the polyp comes out of the cervix, contact bleeding can occur, such as sexual intercourse bleeding;

3, pudendal itching: when infection occurs, it can cause abnormal vaginal secretions, leading to pudendal itching;

4, induce anemia: uterine polyps can lead to an increase in menstrual flow, and some people with poor physical fitness may induce anemia;

5, infertility: it may lead to patients unable to get pregnant, such as uterine polyps growing in the cervical canal, preventing sperm from entering the uterine cavity, leading to infertility. If the polyp grows in the uterine cavity, it can affect the implantation of fertilized eggs and make it difficult to conceive;

6, malignant lesions: uterine polyps are usually benign lesions, but there is the possibility of malignant transformation, but also need to be vigilant.

Therefore, it is suggested to treat uterine polyps in time, and the treatment methods are related to the size, nature, growth site and quantity of polyps. For example, patients with no obvious symptoms and small polyps should be followed up regularly without special treatment; Patients with severe symptoms, large polyps or risk of malignant transformation can be treated surgically. Before treatment, hysteroscopy can be done to understand the uterine cavity and endometrium, so as to treat the symptoms.
