Patient's question:
My mother had surgery for a cervical polyp, and it has been 50 days now. The vagina has been experiencing intermittent irregular bleeding. What could be the reason for this? Is it serious? What could be the worst-case scenario? My mother is stubborn and afraid to go back to the hospital for a thorough check-up, always delaying the issue. She also often blames herself. We only have time to accompany her for a thorough check-up on weekends. What tests need to be done when visiting the hospital?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you provided, you had a cervical polyp surgery, and it has been over 50 days. Besides vaginal bleeding, there is also a consideration of transmission. Another possibility is malignant transformation.It is recommended to take your mother to a nearby municipal or provincial hospital to undergo a cervical cell smear test for a thorough examination. After polyp surgery, a pathology examination should be performed to rule out malignant transformation. Cervical polyps can be a serious condition, so it is advised that patients seek timely symptomatic treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations. At the same time, pay attention to self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
