Nowadays, society is developing rapidly, and as women, their quality of life has greatly improved compared to before. However, the corresponding social pressure, work pressure, and life pressure they bear are also very high. Therefore, many female diseases are becoming more and more common. For example, in recent years, there has been an increasing trend of female urethral polyps, which are generally more common in terminally ill women. However, many younger female groups, especially those who have not given birth or are preparing for pregnancy, also suffer from urethral polyps. So what is female urethral polyp?
What is female urethral polyp
Female urethral polyps are often considered a benign tumor that occurs in the urethra, characterized by a tumor like tissue that appears in the female urethra, especially at the urethral opening, also known as vascular polyps or urethral granulation tissue. However, this type of urethral polyp rarely becomes cancerous and can be roughly divided into three types: papilloma, granuloma, and hemangioma.
Causes of female urethral polyps
It is generally believed that the onset of female urethral polyps is due to a severe decrease in estrogen levels, while the occurrence of urethral polyps in young women is often caused by gynecological diseases or lack of hygiene, resulting in frequent vaginal discharge, menstrual blood, and other infections at the urethral opening. Over time, this can lead to recurrent inflammation and ultimately trigger urethral polyps.
What are the symptoms of female urethral polyps
Women with urethral polyps may not only experience polyps and lumps, but also local pain, bleeding, and burning sensation during urination.
How to treat female urethral polyps
If there are no symptoms, there is no need for special treatment. Some estrogen ointments can be used topically for better results. But if it is a symptomatic urethral polyp, it should not be taken lightly. It is best to choose surgical treatment. If the self pity is small and does not exceed one centimeter, laser treatment can be used. If it is relatively large, surgical resection is necessary.
That's all for the introduction of female urethral polyps. For female friends, it is important to pay attention to the hygiene and health of their private parts in daily life. Regularly clean and care for the vagina, avoid frequent and long-term use of pads and wet wipes, and do not frequently wash the vagina with detergent, as this can actually damage the vaginal pH and increase the risk of gynecological inflammation.
