Can women with uterine polyps after menopause undergo surgery?

Patient's question:

Health consultation description: Upon examination, cervical polyps were found. There are no symptoms, and I am postmenopausal with no history of uterine issues. Please provide guidance or suggestions. Can I avoid surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Cervical polyps are generally caused by local inflammation due to the impact of estrogen levels. After confirming the condition, it is necessary to promptly undergo surgical treatment. If treatment is not implemented in a timely manner, there is a possibility of the condition worsening and potentially leading to cancer. Therefore, it is best to follow the doctor's advice and focus on treatment. However, since you have already gone through menopause, the uterine polyps will gradually disappear. As long as there are no symptoms, there is no need to worry. It is recommended to carefully monitor the situation. As long as there is no abnormal vaginal bleeding, it is generally not a major issue. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia.
