Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed bloody leukorrhea and an increase in leukorrhea. About the past treatment and its effectiveness: The examination said it was a cervical polyp. I want to ask if it's okay not to treat it anymore.Doctor's answer:
Once cervical polyps are detected, active treatment should be initiated. Surgery to remove the polyps is generally the primary method, though medication or laser therapy may also be used. The removed polyps should be sent for pathological examination to rule out the possibility of malignant transformation.After cervical polyp surgery, follow-up examinations should be conducted periodically. The first check-up should be around 3 months post-surgery, followed by annual check-ups thereafter.
Cervical polyps can be prevented. In addition to maintaining good hygiene during menstruation, postpartum, or after miscarriage, it is important to pay attention to vaginal hygiene in daily life to prevent vaginal inflammation and cervical erosion. Additionally, maintaining sexual hygiene is crucial. It is also recommended to regularly air out bedding, wear cotton underwear, and change it frequently.
