I believe many women are troubled by the symptom of uterine polyps. Privacy related illnesses and difficulty in confiding in others inevitably put more pressure on themselves. What's even more frightening is that this disease is a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. If left untreated, will it turn into a terrible incurable disease? Can uterine polyps become cancerous and endanger human life?
Can uterine polyps become cancerous
1. Intrauterine polyps increase the risk of cancer and should be taken seriously by patients. It is necessary to go to a professional hospital and adopt professional treatment methods to control the condition. Patients with larger uterine polyps need to undergo surgical resection in a timely manner. Uterine polyps are mainly caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation, and their growth rate is relatively fast, which can affect surrounding normal organs. If not treated in a timely manner, cancer may occur.
2. Intrauterine polyps increase the risk of female infertility and can also lead to ectopic pregnancy. Intrauterine polyps can compress surrounding normal organs and affect the female bladder, causing difficulty urinating and infertility. They can seriously affect the motility of male sperm, and inflammatory secretions can hinder the binding of male sperm and female eggs, leading to infertility.
3. Uterine polyps can cause bleeding during sexual intercourse, and patients may experience a feeling of bloating in the lower abdomen, as well as symptoms of vaginal discharge disorder. This disease can cause significant distress to patients, not only affecting their physical health, but also triggering a series of diseases that can seriously affect their mental state and work efficiency. Patients with uterine polyps should choose a suitable treatment plan according to their condition, which can reduce the damage caused by the disease.
What is the preoperative examination for uterine polyps
1. Gynecological examination shows that the uterus is slightly larger, such as endometrial polyps with long peduncles, and there may be visible or palpable growths at the cervical opening.
2. Transvaginal ultrasound examination shows a conventional shape of hyperechoic lesion in the uterine cavity, surrounded by a weak hyperechoic halo. The results of examination during the period of menstrual cycle hyperplasia are more reliable. Repeated ultrasound examination after the menstrual period is clean can help distinguish between "polypoid endometrium" and endometrial polyps. The sensitivity and specificity of intrauterine contrast echocardiography are higher.
3. Hysteroscopy is not only an important method for diagnosing endometrial polyps, as it allows for a clear and intuitive observation of the uterine cavity, but also enables the removal of tissue for pathological examination.
4. The most common type of pathological examination is a localized endometrial mass protruding from the uterine cavity, single or multiple, with a diameter ranging from several millimeters to several centimeters and varying pedicle thickness.
Uterine polyps are actually very easy to treat, but if diagnosed with this disease, it is important to seek timely treatment. Do not feel shy or afraid to speak up to others. Once you miss the opportunity for good treatment, the consequences can be very serious. Every woman should consider her own life and not underestimate this disease. It must be taken seriously.
