Patient's question:
What happens if cervical polyps are not treated? Do cervical polyps continue to worsen? Are they serious? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of cervical polyps is primarily surgical removal, but if accompanied by inflammation, infection control must be prioritized first; during bleeding, medication application is the primary approach, with surgery performed after inflammation is controlled. Although cervical polyps rarely transform into cancer, the incidence rate of malignancy is still between 0.2% and 0.4%. For patients under the age of 45, especially those experiencing menopause, surgical removal of the polyp should be followed by meticulous pathological examination. If malignant transformation is suspected, early treatment measures should be initiated.Patients with cervical polyps can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, also use home remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. A balanced diet should be maintained in daily eating habits to avoid stimulating foods.
