Patient's question:
I have carefully checked and found uterine polyps. How should I treat them? The doctor told me to do a D&C (dilation and curettage). Is that okay? Or can they be relieved without surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine polyps can cause symptoms such as prolonged menstruation, endometrial thickening, and heavy menstrual flow, and there is a risk of malignancy, although it is generally very low. Diagnostic dilation and curettage may have the potential for missed polyps, and it is better to have a careful examination under a microscope and directly remove the polyps. It is recommended to visit a regular public hospital's gynecology department for follow-up within 3 to 7 days after menstruation, undergo a hysteroscopy, and if uterine polyps are found, a biopsy and pathological examination can be performed. In addition to timely treatment of uterine polyps, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
