Patient's question:
How to treat uterine polyps. Why do polyps grow in the uterus, are they harmful to the body, and how to treat them?Doctor's answer:
Western medicine treats cervical polyps primarily through surgical removal. However, if accompanied by inflammation, infection must be controlled first; when there is skin breakdown, medication application is the primary approach. After infection is controlled, surgery can be performed. Although polyps rarely become cancerous, the canceration rate is still between 0.2% and 0.4%. For individuals under 45 years old, especially those experiencing cervical polyps around menopause, the polyps should be sent for pathological examination after surgical removal. If malignant changes are observed, early treatment measures should be adopted. Additionally, this condition is prone to recurrence, so regular follow-up examinations should be scheduled every three months. The disease of uterine polyps is not easily resolved.
