Patient's question:
Recently, I haven't been feeling well, and I've been experiencing irregular menstruation. Additionally, I've been experiencing severe pain in my lower abdomen during sexual intercourse. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the result was uterine polyps. The doctor said they aren't very large right now, but I'm undergoing treatment and still worried they might grow.What kind of help would you like: Will uterine polyps grow?
Doctor's answer:
It will grow, the treatment for uterine polyps is surgery. If you have already been pregnant, it is a total hysterectomy. The chance of uterine polyps becoming malignant is very small, and almost 80% of women have or have had uterine fibroids, large or small. Hospitals generally recommend removal and follow-up with an ultrasound once a year or every year to carefully observe the expansion. If it becomes cancerous, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments can be used. Although Western medicine is effective quickly, it is extremely unstable, prone to relapse, has significant side effects, and easily develops drug resistance. It only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.
