Pyogenic granuloma is a pathology that can be seen in other
parts of the body as well as the finger and scalp. It is mostly seen in the
gums and lips in the mouth. It is more common in women than in men. The form formed
due to hormonal changes, like those used in pregnancy and birth control pills,
is called granuloma gravidarum (gingiva's pregnancy tumor). They are usually
red, purple, ulcerated, hemorrhagic, about 1 centimeter in size. It usually
occurs in the periods after the first 3 months of pregnancy. It occurs in about
5% of pregnant women.
It should be differentiated with aphtae and aphthous ulcers,
other lesions such as sores and herpes in the mouth, and traumatic ulcers.
Factors effective in the formation of pyogenic granuloma
include poor cleaning of oral and dental care, foreign substances in the mouth,
dental stones, pregnancy and other hormonal changes. Therefore, mothers should
pay special attention to oral and dental care.
Treatment:
During pregnancy, pyogenic granuloma is usually monitored and
appears to heal spontaneously at a high rate after birth. Lesions that rarely
cause excessive bleeding or failure of the patient may require surgical
treatment. Sometimes surgical treatment and pathological examination may be
required to distinguish it from other pathologies such as maligtine. Generally,
surgery is not preferred during pregnancy. Because relapse develops more
frequently in cases operated during pregnancy, recurrence is rare in those
operated after pregnancy.
