Patient's question:
Endometrium 1.3 cm, endometrial polyps 0.52 cm 0.43 cm. Currently taking Dian 35 for the first month, and the doctor recommended hysteroscopy with curettage afterward. But I am worried about potential harm to the uterus. If the follow-up shows no significant thickening of the endometrium or symptom reduction, how effective would switching to traditional Chinese medicine treatment be? Or should I focus on taking hormone? How would it affect my body, and what would the effectiveness be?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are one manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation and are more common in unmarried women. They are formed due to long-term stimulation by chronic inflammation, causing fibrosis of the local mucosa in the cervical canal and leading to the formation of polyps at the weak point of the external cervical os. Polyps are usually one or multiple, red in color, and shaped like tongues. Their diameter is generally less than 1 cm, with a soft and fragile texture, making them easily friable. The stalks are thin and long. Cervical polyps are often overlooked because more than one-third of patients lack obvious symptoms and are only discovered during a careful examination by a doctor. Even when symptoms are present, they are usually mild, primarily characterized by a small amount of bright red spotting.
