Patient's question:
I'm not feeling well, so I went to the maternity hospital for a check-up. The test results showed that I have uterine polyps. Could you please ask the doctor about the common treatments for uterine polyps?Doctor's answer:
Once cervical polyps are detected, active treatment should be initiated. Surgical removal is generally the primary approach, though medications and laser 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, follow-up examinations should be conducted periodically. The first check-up should be performed approximately 3 months post-surgery, followed by annual or biannual check-ups thereafter. Cervical polyps can be prevented through proper care during menstruation, postpartum, or after miscarriage. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene of the external genitalia in daily life is essential to prevent vaginal infections and cervical erosion. It is also important to maintain sexual hygiene at all times.
