Are uterine polyps the same as cervical polyps?
Firstly, endometrial polyps are caused by localized excessive growth of the endometrium. Endometrial polyps can be multiple or single. Polyps consist of endometrial glands, stroma, or blood vessels, and are closely related to an excessively high distribution of estrogen levels. Furthermore, long-term use of hormonal medications and health supplements can lead to the development of endometrial polyps. Once endometrial polyps occur, it is advised to undergo a hysteroscopic examination at a hospital within three to seven days after the end of menstruation, and if necessary, proceed with hysteroscopic polypectomy surgery of the cervical endometrium. Cervical polyps are caused by inflammation of the cervix, resulting from localized polypoid hyperplasia of the cervix. Once cervical polyps are detected, further cervical cancer screening is needed. If the cervical cancer screening shows no abnormalities, cervical polypectomy should be performed, followed by a pathological examination after the surgery.
