Is it serious to have uterine polyps?

The uterus is one of the most important reproductive organs of women because of its special nature. In recent years, due to the increasing pressure of life. Therefore, some people live in a false and high-pressure environment for a long time, which leads to pathological changes in some body functions. Therefore, we should always pay attention to health in life. Then let us find out whether it is serious to have uterine polyps?

1. What are the dangers of having polyps in the uterus?

First, it affects sex life. If uterine polyps are not treated, they will gradually grow larger and block the cervix, causing bleeding during sexual intercourse or bloody leucorrhea.

Second, it affects pregnancy. If uterine polyps block the cervical opening, it will cause cervical stenosis or deformation of the cervical canal, thereby hindering the normal upward movement of sperm and affecting pregnancy.

Third , it causes other gynecological diseases. For patients who do not receive long-term treatment, uterine polyps can also cause other gynecological diseases such as cervical erosion and cervical hypertrophy due to long-term inflammatory stimulation.

Fourth, there is a risk of cancer. Although uterine polyps rarely turn into cancer, the chance of it turning into cancer is between 0.2% and 0.4%. It often occurs in middle-aged women around 45 years old. Especially those who suffer from uterine polyps after menopause should be more cautious and not let the polyps turn into erosion.

2. How to prevent uterine polyps

First, pay attention to menstrual hygiene: During menstruation, women should keep their private parts clean and replace menstrual pads in time. Avoid sexual intercourse and bathing during menstruation. Try not to have a gynecological examination during your menstrual period.

Second, avoid multiple abortions: Artificial abortion surgery can easily damage the endometrium, especially irregular surgery, which can easily cause damage to the uterine cavity, trigger inflammation, and lead to a variety of gynecological diseases. If women do not intend to become pregnant, they should actively take contraceptive measures.

Third, strengthen health care during pregnancy and the postpartum period: regular physical examinations should be conducted during pregnancy to detect diseases in time for timely treatment. Pay attention to hygiene during pregnancy and take a bath and change clothes frequently. In the late pregnancy, because the cervix gradually relaxes, you should avoid taking a bath in a tub and have sex to avoid infection. During the postpartum period, the vulva should be kept clean, and bathing and changing underwear should be done frequently. Sexual intercourse and tub bathing should be avoided for at least 1 month during this period.

Fourth, keep a happy mood. Women should maintain a good and optimistic mood, pay attention to adjusting their personal mentality, and relieve negative emotions in time to avoid affecting their endocrine condition. If you find any abnormal conditions such as vulvar itching, increased secretions, etc., you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

In short, the hazards of uterine polyps are varied and seriously affect human health. This is a disease that we need to pay attention to. At present, the medical treatment technology of this disease still needs to be improved, so we must study hard, make progress every day, strive to learn scientific knowledge, and contribute our own strength to our medical cause.
