Patient's question:
Last year, I had an issue, and after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication. Both topical and oral treatments quickly controlled it. However, recently, my private area has started to feel uncomfortable again. My discharge is also abnormal, and it has a very strong odor. Please ask: How is it best to treat uterine polyps?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Cervical polyps are one manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. There is a type of polyp whose root is attached to the cervical os or within the cervical canal. It is formed by local fibrosis of the cervical mucosa under the stimulation of inflammation, which then protrudes outward from the cervix. Here, I recommend that you undergo surgery immediately to remove it, because if cervical polyps are left untreated, they can gradually grow and block the cervical os. Severe cases may lead to infertility, cause sexual intercourse bleeding, or result in bloody leukorrhea. Moreover, there is a definite risk of malignancy. Therefore, it is strongly advised that you undergo surgical treatment. You need not worry, as the procedure is very simple and has little impact on your body. If your polyp is large, there may be more skin breakdown after removal, but you need not be concerned about that.
