Patient's question:
My great-aunt got cervical polyps in the first half of the year and went to the hospital for surgery. She was so painful that she screamed as they literally removed that piece of flesh from her uterus. It seems like she's better now, but I don't know if she really has recovered?Doctor's answer:
Experts believe that the most common type of cervical polyp is a localized endometrial tumor that is weaker than the uterine cavity, either solitary or easily recurring. It is grayish-red in color, shiny, and generally small in size, with an average diameter ranging from 0.5 to 2 cm. Smaller ones may only have a diameter of 1 to 2 mm, while larger and more easily recurring ones can fill the uterine cavity. Cervical polyps can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to self-care training, consume more fruits and vegetables, and avoid foods.
