Patient's question:
I just recently found out I'm pregnant. During the thorough examination at the hospital last time, I discovered I have cervical polyps. Although they aren't very serious, the doctor still recommended surgery to remove them. I'm very worried. Everyone says that having cervical polyps is still a surgery, and I'm afraid it will affect my ability to give birth in the future. I wanted to ask for advice on what I should do.Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps can also have certain adverse effects on labor. If detected, it is important to promptly perform polypectomy, with the procedure ideally taking place within one month before labor. If labor occurs shortly after the removal, the newly healed wound may experience mild tearing due to the expansion of the cervical opening. If the polypectomy is performed early, and the wound heals well, it is generally unlikely to tear, as long as the polyp is removed completely, which will not affect fertility. For severe cases of cervical polyps, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
