Patient's question:
Recently, due to feeling unwell, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told that I had a condition called cervical polyps. The doctor also mentioned that this would require a small surgery to be treated. Previously, I had never experienced any symptoms at all. Hello, what is the treatment process like for cervical polyps?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of cervical polyps, surgical removal is the primary approach. Since the cervical nerves are relatively sparse, the area is not highly sensitive to pain, so there is no need to worry about surgical discomfort. Regarding the surgical procedure: Cervical polypectomy is a relatively simple procedure. After sterilizing the vagina and cervix with povidone-iodine, use hemostatic forceps to grasp the base of the polyp and remove it. The surgery is painless, and after the procedure, the wound is treated with semustine powder, or a cotton ball is used to control the inflammation and apply medication. For larger polyps with thicker stalks, electrocautery can be applied to the stump after removal. Regardless of the size of the removed polyp, a pathological examination should be performed, and there should be no negligence in diagnosis. The best time for surgery is 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends. Wishing you good health!In addition to treating cervical polyps, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
