Patient's question:
Health consultation description: A few months ago, I had a thorough examination at the hospital and was found to have a uterine polyp of 1.5 cm. I want to have surgery after a year. Will it grow? How much interference does it cause to the body?Doctor's answer:
The consideration for uterine polyps is that they are caused by inflammation of the cervix, which grows slowly but not rapidly. However, the earlier the surgery is performed, the better. Uterine polyp surgery is a relatively minor procedure, and normal activities can typically be resumed about 7 days after the operation. Therefore, you can decide to have the surgery in the near future. If you really don’t have time, it is also acceptable to wait until a year later. Uterine polyps are a manifestation of uterine cancer and can cause symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge and bleeding during intercourse. It is recommended that you seek a definitive diagnosis and have the surgery as early as possible. Pay attention to personal hygiene, especially during menstruation and before and after sexual activity, to keep the perineal skin clean and dry.
