Cervical polyps

Cervical polyps are a manifestation of chronic cervicitis and are more common in married women. Chronic inflammation has long-term stimulated the local mucosal hyperplasia of the cervical canal, and the uterus has the tendency to exclude foreign bodies, so that the hyperplastic mucosa gradually protrudes from the base to the outer mouth of the cervix to form polyps. A polyp derived from cervical mucosa. The surface is covered with a layer of columnar epithelium and is rich in microvessels, so it is bright red, soft and fragile. A light touch will bleed, so that infections often form and ulcers form. Another type of polyp comes from the cervical and vaginal part. The surface is covered by stratified squamous epithelium. Because the interstitial tissue is mainly fibrous connective tissue, the color is light red, the texture is tough, the base is wide, and the disease site is shallow.
