Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been experiencing excessive vaginal discharge and irregular periods recently. After a check-up, I was diagnosed with uterine polyps. How is the best way to treat uterine polyps?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in general, cervical polyps should be surgically removed as soon as they are detected. There are high-frequency polypectomy instruments for treating cervical polyps, and the surgery is painless. After the procedure, the wound is treated with semicarbazide powder, or a cotton ball is used to control the inflammation and apply medication. For larger polyps with thick stalks, medication can be applied to the stump after removal. Polyps of any size that are removed must undergo pathological examination, 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 needs to be re-examined periodically, as the polyp may recur.
