Patient's question:
Recently, there has been yellowish leukorrhea, most of which has an odor, or leukorrhea mixed with blood streaks. Occasionally, there is slight bleeding after sexual activity. After examination, it was found to be cervical polyps. How should cervical polyps be treated?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are a common gynecological condition, most frequently occurring in women aged 30-50. This disease is primarily caused by the long-term effects of chronic inflammation, which forces excessive fibrosis of the local mucosa in the cervical canal. Additionally, the uterus has a reflex mechanism to expel foreign objects, causing the fibrotic mucosa to gradually form polyps from the base towards the weaker areas of the cervix. While polyps are generally benign, they can sometimes be a small part of cervical cancer, so special attention must be paid. During the treatment of cervical polyps, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. Patients must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of cervical polyps.
