There are already many types of human diseases that have been identified so far, some of which have similar names and sometimes leave patients confused, such as cervical polyps and uterine polyps. So, what is the difference between uterine polyps and cervical polyps?
Firstly, from the names of uterine polyps and cervical polyps, it can be seen that the locations of their lesions are different. The site of lesions in uterine polyps is the patient's uterine cavity, which is the uterine cavity, while the site of lesions in cervical polyps is the patient's cervix, which is the area where the uterus and vagina are connected, like the neck of a bottle.
Secondly, the causes of uterine polyps and cervical polyps are different. Female patients with uterine polyps are mainly caused by abnormal hyperplasia of the endometrium, while cervical polyps are lesions caused by inflammation stimulation of the cervix. Women with uterine polyps may experience prolonged menstrual periods, while those with cervical polyps may bleed during sexual intercourse.
Due to different diseases, there may be differences in the treatment methods for uterine polyps and cervical polyps. Polyps are usually benign, but if not treated in a timely manner, further lesions can occur, such as repeated stimulation of the affected area, which may lead to erosion and other symptoms. It is recommended that women seek timely treatment at gynecological clinics after discovering the condition.
