endocervikala

Endocervikala, also known as endocervical polyps, are growths that occur in the endocervix, which is the inner part of the cervix that connects to the uterus. These polyps are typically benign, meaning they are non-cancerous, and are composed of various tissues, including blood vessels, connective tissue, and glandular tissue. They are usually small, ranging from a few millimeters to a few centimeters in size, and may be single or multiple.

The exact cause of endocervikala is not well understood, but they are thought to be associated with chronic inflammation or irritation of the cervix. Hormonal factors, such as those occurring during pregnancy or menopause, may also play a role in their development. Additionally, certain infections, like chronic cervicitis, have been linked to the formation of these polyps.

Endocervikala often do not cause any symptoms and may be discovered incidentally during a routine pelvic exam or pap smear. However, some women may experience symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, especially after intercourse or between periods, increased vaginal discharge, or pelvic pain. In some cases, the polyps may protrude through the cervix into the vagina and be visible during a speculum exam.

Diagnosis of endocervikala typically involves a pelvic exam and a pap smear. If a polyp is visible, it may be biopsied or removed during the exam. Treatment usually involves the removal of the polyp, which can often be done in a doctor's office using a simple procedure. The polyp is typically twisted off or snared, and the base is cauterized to prevent bleeding. In some cases, a small portion of the cervix may be removed along with the polyp. After removal, the polyp is usually sent to a laboratory for further examination to ensure it is benign.
