Patient's question:
I have been treated for cervical polyps before and had surgery. Now they have recurred, and I want to know what causes cervical polyps to recur repeatedly? What exactly are cervical polyps?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are a pathological type of cervical inflammation, formed by the local fibrosis caused by long-term chronic inflammation. The main clinical manifestations are bleeding upon touch, and the primary treatment method is surgical removal. If small polyps remain after removal or if the treatment is not thorough, they may regrow. Cervical polyps are caused by long-term inflammation, leading to fibrosis of the local mucosa in the cervical canal and the formation of polyps, which are prone to bleeding, have thin and long stalks, and can still recur after removal due to inflammation. Polyps rarely transform into cancer, with a transformation rate of less than 1%. However, after cervical polyp surgery, women should pay attention to maintaining cleanliness. While ensuring personal hygiene, they should also promptly address hygiene during sexual activity to prevent reinfection and recurrence of the condition.
