Patient's question:
Hello, I have recently experienced some health issues, so I would like to consult about this disease. I had a polypectomy last year, and now the condition has recurred. Should I have surgery, or how can I prevent it from recurring?Doctor's answer:
Western medicine treats cervical polyps primarily through surgical removal. However, if accompanied by inflammation, infection must be controlled first; during bleeding, medication should be applied as the primary treatment. Once inflammation is controlled, surgery can be performed. Although cervical polyps rarely become cancerous, the canceration rate is still between 0.2% and 0.4%. For patients 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 detected, early treatment measures should be adopted. Additionally, this condition is prone to recurrence, so follow-up examinations should be conducted irregularly, with a check-up every three months.
