Women are often troubled by gynecological diseases. In addition to some inflammatory diseases, gynecological diseases also include some polypoid diseases. Polyps are a type of growths that appear on human tissues, such as uterine polyps and endometrial polyps, which are very common. Are uterine polyps the same as endometrial polyps?
Cervical polyps and endometrial polyps are different, with different causes and symptoms, so they are not the same disease and have different treatments.
Uterine polyps are a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. One type is polyps that appear in the cervix and vagina, and the other is polyps that appear in the cervix or cervix. These polyps can be single or multiple, but their volume is generally small, less than 1 centimeter, with a bright red color, indicating easy bleeding and a relatively long pedicle. Uterine polyps generally do not have obvious symptoms, and some patients can only be detected during gynecological examinations. Uterine polyps are treated with surgery, but they are prone to recurrence and require regular follow-up examinations.
Endometrial polyps are caused by excessive local proliferation of the endometrium, mainly consisting of smooth masses in the protruding uterine cavity, with varying lengths of the pedicle. The high-risk population for endometrial polyps is women of childbearing age and beyond, who are prone to irregular vaginal bleeding and infertility caused by endometrial polyps. Endometrial polyps can be treated conservatively or surgically. Polyps are also prone to recurrence and may undergo malignant transformation. Therefore, active treatment and regular follow-up examinations are necessary.
