What does endometrial type polyp in the cervical canal mean?

Generally, endometrial-type cervical polyps refer to localized excessive growth of the cervical lining, forming benign growths that may occur singly or in multiples, with sizes ranging from several millimeters to a few centimeters. A detailed analysis is as follows:

Typically, these growths are located within the endocervical mucosa and are commonly known as cervical canal polyps. During a gynecological examination, when a speculum is inserted into the vagina to expose the cervix, some exophytic cervical canal polyps can be directly observed. However, certain cervical canal polyps are located deeper and are smaller in size, making them invisible at the external cervical os; in such cases, ultrasound examination is required to determine the presence of polyps within the cervical canal.

Symptoms of endometrial-type cervical polyps may include irregular vaginal bleeding, increased menstrual flow, and dysmenorrhea. Sometimes, women may experience no symptoms at all. If an endometrial-type cervical polyp becomes too large or develops an infection, more serious complications such as infertility or miscarriage may occur. Women may follow medical advice to use medications such as Kangongyan tablets or Ornidazole tablets for treatment.

If a woman experiences any discomfort or symptoms, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention at a hospital to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
