Patient's question:
I have cervical polyps. It is said that cervical polyps may potentially become cancerous. If they do, what should be done? What should be done if cervical polyps become cancerous?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of cervical polyps are caused by long-term inflammation in the affected area, leading to fibrosis of the local mucosa, which gradually weakens and forms outward. If left untreated, cervical polyps can grow gradually, block the cervix, and cause infertility. They can also lead to bleeding during intercourse or bloody discharge. More importantly, cervical polyps have the potential to become cancerous. For early-stage cancer patients, the clinical treatment plan primarily considers factors such as the patient's age and overall condition to develop an appropriate personalized treatment approach. Surgical intervention is generally required for treatment.
