Patient's question:
I have been postpartum for more than eight months. Recently, during a family planning gynecological examination, the doctor who inserted the IUD discovered that there was a polyp on my cervix. They said it was very small and in the early stages of growth, so surgery was not necessary. If it grows larger, we can discuss it then.Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are one manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. Western medicine primarily treats cervical polyps through surgical removal. When inflammation is present, it is essential to control the infection first; when there is skin breakdown, topical medication is the primary treatment. Once the inflammation is controlled, surgery can be performed. This condition tends to recur, so regular follow-up examinations should be conducted after surgery, with checks every three months. There are many treatment methods for cervical polyps, but the diagnostic approach varies depending on the patient's specific condition.
