How is the condition of uterine polyps treated?

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; during the healing phase, medication is applied externally. Once the inflammation is under control, surgery can be performed. Although cervical polyps rarely become cancerous, the canceration rate is still between 0.2% and 0.4%. For women under 45 years old, especially those experiencing polyps around menopause, the polyps should be sent for pathological examination after surgical removal. If malignant changes are detected, early treatment measures should be adopted. Additionally, this condition tends to recur, so regular follow-up examinations every three months are recommended after surgery. Cervical polyps are a disease that is difficult to resolve.
