Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been experiencing excessive leukorrhea and irregular menstruation recently. After examination, I was diagnosed with uterine polyps. How is the best treatment for 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 available for treating cervical polyps, and the surgery is painless. After the procedure, the wound is treated with semustine powder, or a cotton ball is used to control the inflammation and apply medication. For larger polyps with thicker 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 malignant transformation rate of 0.2% to 0.4%. Although it is very low, it should not be overlooked due to negligence. Additionally, even after the polyp is removed, if the inflammation in the cervix has not been completely eliminated, the polyp may recur, and the patient needs to undergo follow-up examinations at irregular intervals.
