Patient's question:
Hello, is it better to do a polypectomy during menstruation or after the period?Doctor's answer:
According to the size, location, morphology, and age of the patient, different treatments are adopted. For larger, pedunculated polyps that can be encountered or palpated in the lower uterine segment, the polyps can be removed by dilating the cervix, followed by a cervical and uterine scraping procedure to remove any remaining polyps and send them for pathological examination. Small, focal, or diffuse polyps undergo curettage, with attention to thorough scraping, especially at the fundus and cornual areas of the uterus. After uterine surgery, anti-infection treatment should be implemented. Clinical diagnosis can be given oral antibiotics or intravenous antibiotics. For patients with obvious symptoms of erosion, who do not respond to the above treatments or have frequent recurrences, hysterectomy should be considered.
