Patient's question:
Symptoms: Vaginal bleeding, blood-tinged discharge, irregular menstruation, and severe dysmenorrhea. Is surgical treatment for uterine polyps necessary?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of cervical polyps, surgical removal is the primary approach. However, if inflammation is present, it is necessary to first suppress infection; when bleeding occurs, medication is used to control inflammation before surgical removal of the polyp. Although cervical polyps are rarely malignant, the incidence of malignancy ranges from 0.2% to 0.4%. For women under the age of 45, especially those around menopause, surgical removal of cervical polyps should be followed by pathological examination. If malignant changes are observed, early treatment measures should be initiated. Additionally, this condition is prone to recurrence, so follow-up examinations should be conducted at irregular intervals, with a recommended frequency of once every three months.
