Placental polyp

Placental tissue polyp is a rare disease that develops in women after childbirth. Polyps can cause complications during pregnancy and life after it. They occur as a result of abnormal growth of tissue that normally lines the walls of the uterus. In some cases, polyps of placental origin may enlarge and affect the function of the uterus.

The causes of placental polyps still remain unclear. However, scientists believe that their development is associated with hereditary and environmental factors. Genetic factors may increase the risk of developing a placental polyp, but the exact relationship between genes and polyps is uncertain. Overweight, obesity, poor diet and certain medications can also have an impact.

Symptoms of placental polyps may include bleeding from the vagina or cervix, pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen, and menstrual irregularities. If such symptoms persist, you should consult a doctor.

Treatment for polyps may include surgical removal of tissue or polyp ablation, which is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small incision is made in the polyp and damaged cells are removed.

Overall, placental polyp is a rare condition, but it can cause serious complications, so it is important not to ignore its symptoms and seek professional treatment.
