Patient's question:
Medical history and treatment outcomes: Hysteroscopic polypectomy was performed. What help was provided: What should be done now? Is further treatment necessary?Doctor's answer:
According to the size, location, morphology, and age of the patient, different treatments are adopted.1. For larger pedunculated polyps, which 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 remaining polyps and send them for pathological examination.
2. For small focal or diffuse polyps, a D&C (dilation and curettage) is performed, with attention to thorough scraping, especially at the fundus and cornual areas of the uterus.
3. After uterine surgery, anti-infection treatment should be administered. Clinical diagnosis may involve oral antibiotics or intravenous administration.
4. For patients with significant erosion symptoms that do not improve with the above treatments or frequently recur, hysterectomy should be considered.
