Polyps may occur in the uterus, intestines, nose, stomach, cervix, etc. Different parts of the uterus may have different signs.
1. Uterus: Uterine polyps can be asymptomatic when they are small, but further development can lead to menstrual disorders, abnormal vaginal bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge, and prolapse of the mass.
2. Intestinal: most of the intestinal polyps do not have any clinical symptoms, and a few of them show changes in bowel habits, blood and mucus in stool, loose stool, increased frequency, and different degrees of abdominal discomfort, occasional abdominal pain, lethargy, anemia and other systemic symptoms, and a very few of them have a mass prolapsing out of the anus during bowel movement.
3. Nose: Nasal polyps are small in size and usually do not have any symptoms when they are single, but as the polyps increase in size, obvious symptoms may appear, such as nasal congestion, olfactory disorders, increased nasal secretion, etc., which may be accompanied by ear symptoms, nosebleeds, allergies and other symptoms.
4. Stomach: Stomach polyps have no obvious symptoms when they are small, and a few of them may manifest as vague pain in the epigastrium, abdominal distension, discomfort, and a few of them may have nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and dyspepsia. When the polyp is large, there may be vague pain in the upper abdomen, distension, acid reflux, belching (burping), indigestion and other symptoms.
5. Cervix: more than 1/3 of patients with cervical polyps lack obvious symptoms, and the main symptoms of the remaining patients are increased vaginal discharge, bloody vaginal discharge or contact bleeding.
If patients have symptoms, they should go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying their condition.
