Patient's question:
Symptoms: Vaginal bleeding, blood-tinged discharge, irregular menstruation, and severe dysmenorrhea. How should uterine polyps be treated?Doctor's answer:
Once cervical polyps are detected, active treatment should be initiated. Surgical removal is generally the primary method, though medications, laser therapy, and other techniques may also be used. The removed polyps should be sent for pathological examination to rule out the possibility of malignant transformation.After cervical polyp surgery, follow-up examinations should be conducted periodically. The first thorough check-up should be performed approximately 3 months post-surgery, followed by annual check-ups thereafter. Cervical polyps can be prevented through proper care during menstruation, postpartum, or post-abortion. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene of the external genitalia in daily life is essential to prevent vaginal infections and cervical erosion. It is also important to always practice safe sexual hygiene.
