Patient's question:
Vaginal bleeding, blood streaks in leukorrhea, a swollen mass protruding from the vaginal opening. What should I do if I have cervical polyps?Doctor's answer:
Western medicine treats cervical polyps primarily through surgical removal. However, if accompanied by inflammation, it is necessary to first suppress the infection; during bleeding, medication should be applied as the primary treatment. After inflammation is suppressed, surgery can be performed. Although polyps rarely become cancerous, the canceration rate is still between 0.2% and 0.4%. For patients under the age of 45, especially those experiencing cervical polyps around menopause, the polyps should be sent for pathological examination after surgical removal. If malignant changes are observed, early treatment measures should be adopted. Additionally, this condition is prone to recurrence, and follow-up examinations should be conducted periodically after surgery, with every three months being a recommended interval.
