Patient's question:
My sister-in-law had some bloody discharge a few weeks ago and went to the hospital for a check-up. They said she had cervical polyps. I heard that cervical polyps aren't a serious condition and there are many treatment methods available. We're here to learn about the best treatments for cervical polyps.Doctor's answer:
Polyps are often caused by long-term chronic inflammation, leading to fibrosis of the cervical canal mucosa. Polyps can be classified as cervical polyps and vaginal polyps. Both types can recur near the cervical canal and protrude around the cervical os, or they may completely block the cervical os. This can cause cervical stenosis or cervical canal deformation, hindering the normal descent of sperm, all of which can interfere with delivery. Cervical polyps are more commonly composed of mucosal polyps formed by fibrosis of the mucosal epithelium. Once such polyps are detected, surgical treatment should be administered.
