Uterine polyps can become fibroids? Don’t be afraid, they “have the same name and different family”

The uterus is a feng shui treasure for nurturing life, but it is also a disaster-prone place. Uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, uterine polyps, endometrial tuberculosis and other uterine diseases are all frequent visitors to the uterus. The main thing is that these people often come uninvited, and it is not possible to say which comes first, which comes later, or maybe they even “come together to buy drunk”. But as long as they casually a mess, are likely to the uterus this piece of holy land to get full of damage. Among them, uterine polyps and fibroids are repeat offenders, a common gynecological disease. The two have some similarity in some words and actions, but after all, they are two different suspects, different names, different looks, a smile is like two people, so the doctor is generally not wrong case. The so-called “same surname different clan”, although uterine polyps and fibroids are surnamed “uterus”, but the surname “uterus” more to go, we have a different family history, ancestors are eight sticks, not to mention the genetic fate of this life The genetic destiny of this life, so uterine polyps and fibroids will not evolve with each other, the melon is still a melon, the melon egg is still a melon egg. Uterine polyps are called differently depending on the location of the disease. The so-called polyps of adenomyosis patients generally refer to endometrial polyps, which are a kind of lesion in the uterine cavity. This disease can cause symptoms such as increased menstruation, vaginal bleeding and dysmenorrhea. Endometrial polyps are mainly related to inflammation and hormones in the body, not directly related to sexual life, but if there is an infection during intercourse, intercourse will aggravate the bleeding situation occurs. The difference between uterine polyps and uterine fibroids on the ultrasound is very big The common uterine polyps are cervical polyps and endometrial polyps, cervical polyps are generally better identified, the ultrasound is clearer and easier to find. However, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between larger endometrial polyps and smaller submucosal fibroids. When looking at the ultrasound results, you will often see a result that the ultrasound suggests a hyperechoic mass in the uterine cavity, with a high probability of endometrial polyps and does not exclude the possibility of submucosal fibroids, which requires an experienced doctor. The growth location is different Uterine polyps usually grow in the cervix, cervical canal, or the uterine cavity by means of a long and thin tip attached to the uterine wall mass, protruding in the uterine cavity, smooth, flesh-like hardness, the tip length varies, the long one can protrude outside the cervical opening, some tips are shorter. Uterine fibroids can grow at the base of the uterus or at the cervix, however, most of them grow at the body of the uterus. Uterine polyps are usually inflammation or hyperplasia of the lining of the uterus, and rarely can become malignant. Uterine fibroids originate in the myometrium and malignancy is rare. Uterine polyps should be considered according to the patient’s age, the presence of symptoms, the requirements of fertility, the nature of polyps, growth rate and other circumstances, a comprehensive treatment plan. Usually uterine polyps can not be completely cured by simply taking medicine, patients need to remove the polyps through surgery. At present, hysteroscopic polypectomy is the main treatment modality. Small focal or diffuse polyps are scraped, and attention should be paid to comprehensive scraping, especially at the base and corners of the uterus. After uterine surgery, anti-infective treatment should be administered. While uterine fibroids are the most common type of benign tumor of female genitalia, if the patient has small fibroids and no symptoms, treatment is usually not needed.
