Vaginal wall polyps

　　1. Etiology

　　Vaginal wall polyps are caused by the hyperplasia of blood vessel walls, fibroblasts, lymphocytes, and tissue cells during the tissue repair process after hysterectomy surgery.

　　2. Pathogenesis

　　Vaginal wall polyps are composed of granulation tissue: including a large number of capillaries, fibroblasts, neutrophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and tissue cells. If the interval after surgery is short, there will be more blood vessels and neutrophils. If the interval after surgery is long, there will be a reduction in capillaries and thickening of the vascular wall, as well as an increase in fibroblasts, lymphocytes, and tissue cells over time.

　　Postoperative infection after contact bleeding. So-called contact bleeding refers to the phenomenon of slight vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse, gynecological examination, and patients with constipation straining to defecate. "Contact bleeding" is an abnormal sign and one of the signals of pre-cancerous lesions of cervical cancer. It must be paid enough attention. At this time, cytological screening and cancer prevention checks such as colposcopy should be performed. If no problems are found, symptomatic treatment should be carried out in a timely manner and follow-up examinations should be performed for 4-6 months; if problems are found, the gynecologist will follow the medical procedures to make further investigations. After clarifying the nature of the lesion, appropriate treatment will be provided.

　　Most vaginal wall polyps are asymptomatic, and there may be slight vaginal bleeding or contact bleeding. Many are found during follow-up examinations after surgery. They are usually located on the suture line at the top of the vagina, often presenting as millet-sized red swellings that can cause slight bleeding when touched.

　　Prognosis

　　There is a possibility of malignant transformation, and follow-up work should be done well. Epidemiology is the science of studying the distribution and determinants of diseases and health conditions in specific populations, and studying the strategies and measures for preventing and controlling diseases and promoting health. Malignant transformation is a popular term in the folk, and the specific situation is divided into two types: The first type of malignant transformation: refers to the process of benign tumor cells transforming into malignant tumor cells; The second type of malignant transformation: refers to the process of benign epithelial tumor cells transforming into cancer cells.

　　Diagnosis is relatively easy based on the history of hysterectomy, clinical manifestations, gynecological examination, and tissue pathological examination. Usually, the examination includes the following aspects: blood routine examination, secretion examination. Tissue pathological examination.

　　Firstly, therapeutic diet for vaginal wall polyps

　　Goji berries 30 grams, turtle 150 grams. Boil the goji berries and turtle together until they are tender. Both the goji berries and turtle soup can be eaten. Take once a week, not too much, especially not suitable for those with poor digestion and insomnia. Avoid drinking white wine, chili, pork, leek, fatty meat, fried food, hard food, and刺激性 spices. It has the effects of nourishing yin, clearing heat, dispersing phlegm, cooling blood, and improving the body's immune function.

　　Secondly, what is good for the body to eat with vaginal wall polyps

　　1. Eat more soybeans and their products. Such as tofu, soy milk, bean curd, vegetables such as celery, broccoli, soybean, sweet bean, and other foods. Because these foods can supplement plant estrogens, the isoflavones and lignans contained in plant estrogens are considered to have antioxidant effects by scientists.

　　2. Supplement the intake of vitamin C. Vitamin C can inhibit the damage caused by the virus, which is very important. Recently, scientists have found that vitamin C has several functions to enhance immunity. Vegetables rich in vitamin C include cauliflower, radish, potato, Chinese cabbage, rapeseed, and other green vegetables.

　　3. Supplement trace elements zinc and selenium. Zinc and selenium play a crucial role in the production and function of immune cells. Scientific research shows that low levels of zinc and selenium in the body can lead to weakened immune function. Animal foods rich in trace elements zinc and selenium include oysters, fish, lean meat, animal internal organs, eggs, beef kidneys, pork kidneys, shrimp, etc., with the highest zinc content in eggs. Plant foods rich in zinc and selenium include edible mushrooms, seaweed, sesame, peanuts, wheat germ powder, nuts, etc.

　　4. Supplement beta-carotene. Beta-carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the body, which helps protect the immune system from attack by free radicals and has a significant immune-enhancing effect. Animal foods rich in vitamin A include animal livers and eggs. Plant foods rich in beta-carotene include spinach,油菜, amaranth, lettuce leaves, and pumpkins, etc.

　　5. If there is anemia, eat more foods rich in iron, such as pork liver, black sesame, grapes, seaweed, goji berries, mushrooms, etc.

　　6. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to keep the bowels smooth and prevent vaginal stump hemorrhage caused by high abdominal pressure due to hard stools and difficult defecation.

　　Three, it is best not to eat those foods for vaginal wall polyps

　　1. Avoid foods that produce heat, such as mutton, shrimp, crabs, eels, salted fish, black fish, etc.

　　2. Avoid spicy foods and drinks such as chili, Sichuan pepper, scallions, garlic, and white wine.

　　3. Avoid foods with hot properties, blood coagulation, and hormone components such as longan, jujube, glue, royal jelly, etc.

　　4. Avoid caffeinated and stimulating drinks.

　　5. Avoid fried, greasy, moldy, and salted foods.

　　1. Surgical Treatment

　　Endoscopic polypectomy (vaginal endoscopy) under polyps is a very effective measure to prevent their cancerous transformation. The methods of treating polyps under the microscope include: high-frequency electrocoagulation and electrotomy, high-frequency electrocautery, laser treatment, microwave treatment, injection removal, cryotherapy, etc. Patients with large polyps, thick pedicles, or those with hypertension, heart disease, or blood diseases should be cautious about surgery. The removed polyps should be sent for pathological examination to exclude cancerous transformation.

　　2. Prognosis

　　Non-cancerous prognosis is good. Have a review after 3 months of surgery, and then have a review every half year to one year thereafter.
