Can uterine polyps become cancerous?

Uterine polyps are less likely to be cancerous, but they can be. Uterine polyps are usually caused by long-term chronic inflammation in the uterine cavity, which causes irritation to the uterine cavity, resulting in the proliferation of connective tissues and blood vessels in the endometrium, which leads to the emergence of a reddish growth in the uterine cavity. This disease is usually benign, so the chance of cancer is very small, but there is a possibility of cancer. Uterine polyps should be treated actively, if the treatment is not timely, with the growth of the polyp, it may cause the patient to experience the symptoms of irregular vaginal bleeding, and may even cause female patients to experience infertility. For patients with obvious symptoms of uterine polyps, the polyps can be removed through surgical means. Patients with uterine polyps should consult the hospital in a timely manner, actively diagnose and treat them, and undergo regular review after treatment, so that early detection and early treatment can avoid adverse consequences.
