Patient's question:
Hello! Dr. Zhu Lan, we share the same name. I have carefully examined and found that I have uterine polyps. How should I treat them? The doctor asked me to have a D&C procedure. Is that okay?Doctor's answer:
Uterine polyps can cause prolonged menstruation, endometrial thickening, heavy menstrual bleeding, and other symptoms. There is also a risk of malignancy, although it is generally very low.Guidance and Recommendations: Diagnostic dilation and curettage (D&C) may have a risk of missed polyps. It is better to have a thorough examination under a microscope and directly remove the polyps. It is recommended to visit a regular public hospital gynecology department for follow-up 3 to 7 days after menstruation, undergo a hysteroscopy, and if uterine polyps are found, a biopsy can be performed for pathological examination.
Finally, in daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery.
