How to distinguish Cervical polyp from uterine polyps? Three symptoms of Cervical polyp
Cervical polyp is a common gynecological disease, its appearance will also affect the life of patients, especially the impact on the body needs to be paid attention to, and it needs to be checked immediately after physical abnormalities.
Is Cervical polyp the same as Cervical polyp?
Cervical polyp and Cervical polyp are the same disease, but they are called differently. Large uterine polyps have more leucorrhea, and contact bleeding occurs, especially after sexual intercourse and defecation, there are drops of bleeding and bloody leucorrhea, and the amount of bleeding is generally small. Polyps covered with squamous epithelium on the surface, with a tough texture, generally without contact bleeding or bloody leukorrhea. If uterine polyps are accompanied by severe Cervicitis, the symptoms of Cervicitis will also appear.
The reason for the occurrence of uterine polyps is the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, which causes the proliferation and accumulation of the cervical endometrium. A small number of patients with polyps occur in the squamous epithelium of the cervix and vagina. This type of polyp generally has no thin pedicle, tongue like protrusion, strong texture, and is not easy to bleed. The surface is covered with squamous epithelium, and the color is consistent with the surface color of the cervix, which is pink.
Uterine polyps can occur at any age. Uterine polyps are a common gynecological disease, but they are small in size, asymptomatic, and often found during examinations for other gynecological diseases.
Symptoms of Cervical polyp
1. Leucorrhea will be abnormal: if the Cervical polyp is relatively small, it will not have very obvious symptoms. However, as the polyp increases, abnormal changes can easily occur in the vaginal discharge. The common cause is bloody leukorrhea, especially after sexual intercourse and defecation, which is prone to minor bleeding. Some patients also turn yellow in their vaginal discharge, and many patients have a strange odor in their vaginal discharge.
2. Abnormal vaginal bleeding: A small amount of blood appears during sexual activity, and in a few patients, abnormal bleeding can be mistaken for menopause.
3. Tumor outflow: Examination reveals limited protrusion of endometrial masses in the patient's uterine cavity. The bleeding and necrosis on the surface of polyps can easily cause infection.
Signs of Cervical polyp
The most common type of Cervical polyp is the localized endometrial mass protruding in the uterine cavity, single or multiple, grayish red, shiny, generally small, with an average diameter of 0.5~2cm. Small ones only have a diameter of 1-2mm, while large and multiple cases can fill the uterine cavity. The pedicle is of varying thickness and length, with the elderly protruding out of the cervix. Some stems are short and show diffuse growth. The surface of polyps often has bleeding and necrosis, which can also be accompanied by infection. If the pedicle is twisted, hemorrhagic infarction can occur
