Patient's question:
Recently, it was found that my uterine polyp has cancerized. How is the best treatment?Doctor's answer:
The possibility of uterine polyps becoming cancerous is relatively low. Treating polyps typically requires a minor surgery, which can usually be performed on an outpatient basis without the need for hospitalization. For small polyps, they can simply be clamped and removed with forceps. Afterwards, slight compression and medication application, or placing two pieces of gauze at the cervix, can be done. The gauze should be removed after 24 hours. When polyps are larger, they are removed along with their stalks, and the base can be treated with cauterization and medication. There are many treatment methods for uterine polyps, but since patients experience different symptoms, the chosen treatment methods may vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
