Patient's question:
I am 12 weeks pregnant. The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital to set up my medical records. During the gynecological internal examination, the doctor found that I have cervical polyps. Currently, the polyps are still relatively small, and the doctor said it's okay as long as they don't break the skin. However, my friend said that if left untreated, cervical polyps can grow larger and may affect the fetus. I'm very worried. What should I do about cervical polyps?Doctor's answer:
It should be removed through surgery as early as possible to prevent the polyps from growing larger and eventually causing labor pains. After the cervical polyps are removed, medication treatment is necessary to completely eliminate cervical inflammation. This is essential to prevent the recurrence of cervical erosion and other cervical diseases, thereby restoring the normal environment for fetal growth. Additionally, during the treatment period for cervical polyps, the patient's dietary condition and care are also important. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach upset, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
