Patient's question:
I have carefully checked and found that I have uterine polyps. How should I treat them? The doctor told me to do a D&C, is that okay?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine polyps can lead to prolonged menstruation, endometrial thickening, heavy menstrual flow, and other symptoms. There is also a risk of malignancy, although it is generally low.Guidelines and Recommendations:
Diagnostic dilation and curettage (D&C) may have the potential for missed polyps. It is better to have a thorough examination under the microscope and directly remove the polyps.
It is recommended to visit a regular public hospital's gynecology department for follow-up 3 to 7 days after menstruation for a hysteroscopy. If uterine polyps are found, a biopsy and pathological examination should be performed.
In addition to symptomatic treatment for uterine polyps, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities.
At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
