Patient's question:
Six months ago, I started experiencing lower abdominal bloating and pain, but I didn't seek medical attention promptly. Later, the bloating and pain worsened, and I experienced sharp pain during urination, along with abnormal white discharge. At the hospital, I underwent a detailed examination, and the doctor said there were polyps on the endometrium. I would like to ask, can endometrial polyps become cancerous?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for uterine polyps is surgical. If you have already given birth, a total hysterectomy is recommended. The risk of uterine polyps becoming malignant is very small, and almost 80% of women have polyps of varying sizes. Hospitals generally advise removing the polyps and then having a follow-up ultrasound every six months or a year to monitor the situation. If cancerization occurs, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments can be adopted. Although Western medicine is effective quickly, it is highly unstable, prone to recurrence, and has significant side effects, as well as the potential to cause drug resistance—it only treats symptoms, not the root cause. Taking traditional Chinese medicine, such as ginsenoside Rh2 (Humedix, with a high content of 16.2%), to support the body's balance, nourish the kidneys, calm the spirit, replenish qi and blood, and replenish essence and marrow can very effectively enhance patients' immune function, increase appetite, and is an excellent choice.
