How are patients with uterine polyps treated?

Patient's question:

How should uterine polyps be treated? Are there any solutions? I've been troubled for a long time and feel very uncomfortable, seeking a solution. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it will affect fertility, and I'm also extremely afraid of cold and coldness.

Doctor's answer:

Cervical polyps are caused by inflammation and are generally benign. They should undergo polypectomy (a minor surgery). Cervical polypectomy is relatively simple, quick, and painless. Polyps removed, regardless of size, must undergo pathological examination because cervical polyps have a 0.2% to 0.4% risk of malignant transformation. Although the risk is low, it should not be overlooked due to negligence. Additionally, even after the polyp is removed, the inflammation in the cervix is not completely eliminated. Therefore, patients need follow-up examinations at irregular intervals to prevent recurrence. In addition to receiving proper treatment for cervical polyps, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood.
