Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been experiencing excessive vaginal discharge recently and irregular menstruation. After a check-up, I was diagnosed with uterine polyps. What should I pay attention to after the surgery for uterine polyps?Doctor's answer:
1. It should be re-examined on schedule. After surgical removal, the polyps should be sent for pathological examination (cycle of three months). If there are signs of malignancy, treatment measures should be adopted as early as possible. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, cervical polyps can cause disease, and secondly, cervical polyps have the potential for malignancy (the probability is approximately 0.2%-0.4%).2. Pay attention to maintaining local hygiene. It is essential to pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia and sexual hygiene to keep vaginitis and cervical inflammation at bay. Additionally, it is necessary to frequently air out bedding and wash underwear regularly.
