Patient's question:
A 50-year-old woman has recently been experiencing some discomfort in her body and doesn't understand what is going on. She asks: Is surgery necessary for uterine polyps?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are non-tumorous protrusions, generally benign. If they grow on the inner side of the cervix, they can easily cause dysmenorrhea. If they grow on the outer side, they usually have little impact on menstruation. Cervical polyps formed by chronic inflammation over a long period may have the potential to become malignant. Once cervical polyps and cysts are diagnosed, surgical treatment should be performed. This is especially important for women who develop cervical polyps around menopause. After surgical removal, the polyps should be sent for pathological examination. If any signs of malignancy are found, early treatment measures should be taken. Additionally, this condition tends to recur, so regular follow-up examinations should be scheduled every three months after surgery.
