Patient's question:
These days, while washing my underwear, I always find a lot of cheesy-looking discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel like my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen feels uncomfortable. Please ask:Doctor's answer:
Generally, cervical polyps should be surgically removed as soon as they are detected. There are high-frequency polypectomy instruments available for treating cervical polyps, and the surgery is painless. After the procedure, the wound is treated with semustine powder, or a cotton ball is used to control the inflammation and apply medication. For larger polyps with thicker stalks, medication can be applied to the stump after removal. Regardless of the size of the removed polyp, a pathological examination should be conducted, as cervical polyps have a 0.2% to 0.4% risk of malignant transformation. Although the risk is low, it should not be overlooked due to negligence. Additionally, even after the polyp is removed, if the inflammation in the cervix is not completely eliminated, the patient may need periodic follow-up examinations. This condition in gynecology is not easily resolved. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism.
