Patient's question:
I had a cervical polypectomy on March 31st, and it has been 16 days already. However, there is still a significant amount of fresh blood (though much less than during menstruation) continuously flowing out, sometimes accompanied by blood clots. Do I need to go see a doctor? What kind of help do I need: Should I seek immediate medical attention, or should I let it heal naturally at its own pace?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are a type of cervical inflammation. How big is your polyp, and when was it done after your period? These are all factors that need to be considered. The root of the polyp is usually inside the cervix, and it is not visible from the outside. Sometimes, during surgery, if the root cannot be completely removed, it may lead to skin breakdown. If medication is not applied thoroughly, the skin may continue to break down. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain adequate sleep, as sufficient rest will help you recover quickly from the illness.
