Patient's question:
Pregnant for over two months, I noticed a piece of flesh coming out from the perineum while taking a bath. I thought it was the baby falling out and quickly went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said the baby was growing and developing well, and it was a rapidly growing cervical polyp that sometimes leaks out from the perineum. The doctor recommended immediate removal.Doctor's answer:
First, a thorough examination needs to be conducted to speculate on the pathology of the polyp, that is, to determine whether it is benign or other. Additionally, as you are currently 2 months pregnant, surgery is definitely not suitable. If its growth rate is not fast, you can wait until the baby is implanted before undergoing surgery, as the coefficient of maintaining the pregnancy would be higher at that time.Cervical polyps are mostly caused by long-term chronic inflammation, which leads to fibrosis of the cervical canal mucosa, forming polyps. They are shaped like water droplets, with a weak cervix opening, bright red in color, soft and fragile, and prone to bleeding upon touch. They can be one or multiple, with a diameter generally less than 1 cm. The stalk is thin and long, with the root mostly attached to the external opening of the cervix, and in very few cases, located within the cervical canal. Due to inflammation, they often recur after removal.
