Patient's question:
I'm not feeling well, so I went to the maternity hospital for a thorough check-up. The check-up results showed that I have uterine polyps. What should I do about uterine polyps? How should uterine polyps be treated?Doctor's answer:
Once cervical polyps are detected, active treatment should be initiated. The treatment is generally based on surgical removal, but medications, laser therapy, and other methods can also be used. The removed polyps should be sent for pathological examination to rule out the possibility of malignant transformation. After cervical polyp surgery, regular follow-up examinations at the hospital are necessary. The first thorough examination should be conducted about 3 months post-surgery, followed by annual check-ups thereafter. Cervical polyps can be prevented. In addition to maintaining good health during menstruation, postpartum, or after miscarriage, it is important to pay attention to hygiene in the vaginal area to prevent vaginal inflammation and cervical erosion. Maintaining sexual hygiene is also crucial. During the treatment of uterine polyps, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are equally important.
