Patient's question:
How is uterine polyps treated? How is it treated? I've had this condition for a long time, and medication hasn't helped either. I've had these symptoms for a few days now, and they just don't seem to improve. What should I do next?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in general, cervical polyps should be surgically removed as soon as they are detected. There are high-frequency polypectomy instruments available for treating cervical polyps, and the surgery is painless. After the procedure, the wound can be treated with semustine powder, or a cotton ball can be used to control the inflammation and apply medication. For larger polyps with thick stalks, medication can be applied to the stump after removal. Regardless of the size of the removed polyp, a pathological examination must be performed, as 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, if the inflammation in the cervix has not been completely eliminated, the polyp may recur, and the patient needs to undergo periodic follow-up examinations.
