Patient's question:
During the health check-up at work last week, I found out that I have cervical polyps. What are the methods to treat them? Is surgical treatment necessary? How can cervical polyps be effectively treated to prevent them from recurring?Doctor's answer:
Hello, cervical polyps are a relatively common gynecological disease. However, because of their small size, cervical polyps may show no symptoms and are often discovered only during the examination for other gynecological diseases. Larger cervical polyps may cause increased leukorrhea or lead to subjective complaints of contact bleeding, especially with pinpoint bleeding or bloody leukorrhea after sexual intercourse or defecation, though the amount of bleeding is usually not significant. Cervical polyps with exposed squamous epithelium, due to their relatively tough texture, generally do not cause contact bleeding or bloody leukorrhea. If a cervical polyp is accompanied by severe cervical inflammation, it may also present symptoms of cervical inflammation. Cervical polyps have little impact on health, but cervical polyps formed by long-term chronic inflammation may have the potential for malignant transformation.
