How to do cervical polyp?
Cervical polyp is a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. There is a kind of polyp whose root is attached to the cervical orifice or cervical canal, which is formed by the local proliferation of cervical mucosa under the stimulation of inflammation and protruding out of the cervical orifice. The surface of the polyp is covered by a layer of columnar epithelium, which contains cervical glands, and there are abundant microvessels and loose connective tissue in the stroma, accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration. This kind of polyp can be single or multiple, and it is generally small in size. The diameter is below 1 cm, the appearance is tongue-shaped, the color is bright red, the texture is soft and brittle, it is easy to bleed, and the pedicle is slender. Another kind of cervical polyp occurs in the cervix and vagina, the surface is covered by multi-layer squamous epithelium, and the interstitial tissue contains fibrous connective tissue. This kind of polyp is shallow in position, protruding to the surface, wide in base, reddish in color and tough in texture. Under normal circumstances, women suffering from cervical polyps have no discomfort symptoms, sometimes with increased leucorrhea, or bloodshot leucorrhea, or bleeding in the same room. If the above situation is found, patients should go to the hospital. Many patients' cervical polyps were found during general survey or gynecological examination due to other diseases. How to treat cervical polyp? Once the cervical polyp is found, it should be removed surgically. The removal of cervical polyp is relatively simple. After the vagina and cervix are disinfected with iodophor, the root of the polyp pedicle can be clamped by hemostatic forceps and rotated. The operation is painless, and the wound surface after operation is pressed with a cotton ball to diminish inflammation and stop bleeding. If the polyp is large and the pedicle is thick, the broken end can be electrocautery to stop bleeding after removal. No matter the size of the removed polyp, pathological examination should be made because the cervical polyp has 0.2%. Although it is very low, don't miss the diagnosis because of carelessness. In addition, although the polyp is removed, the inflammation of the cervix has not been completely eliminated, so the polyp may recur, and patients need to check it regularly. Is cervical polyp not treated? Can it become cancerous? Cervical polyp is also caused by the stimulation of chronic inflammation, local hyperplasia of cervical canal mucosa, and gradually protruding outward. Without treatment, cervical polyp can grow up gradually, block the cervical orifice, cause infertility, or cause sexual intercourse bleeding or bloody leucorrhea. More importantly, cervical polyp may become cancerous. So once it is found, it should be removed. The removal of cervical polyp is relatively simple, and can generally be completed in the outpatient operating room. The malignant transformation rate of cervical polyp is low, about 0.2%~0.4%. After removal, all patients should be sent for pathological examination to avoid leakage diagnosis. Can cervical polyp recur after being cured? As mentioned earlier, cervical polyps can be divided into two types according to the location. Polyps formed from local hyperplasia of cervical canal mucosa are generally slender and easy to be completely removed; However, although the position of the polyp in the cervix and vagina is shallow, its base is wide, so it is not easy to be completely removed during treatment, and it can be regenerated. In addition, because the polyp in the cervix is a manifestation of chronic inflammation of the cervix, although the polyp is removed, the chronic inflammation of the cervix has not been eliminated, and the pathogenic bacteria are still lurking in the cervical tissue, which means that the cause of the disease still exists. Therefore, after removing the polyp in the cervix, the chronic inflammation of the cervix should be treated.
