Patient's question:
Cervical polyps were removed one week ago. Do I still need to take any medicine regularly?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Once cervical polyps are detected, active treatment should be initiated, primarily surgical removal, though medication, laser, and other methods may also be used. The removed polyps should be sent for pathological examination to rule out the possibility of malignancy. After cervical polyp surgery, regular follow-up at the hospital is necessary. The first check-up should be around 3 months post-surgery, followed by reviews every 6 months to a year. Cervical polyps can be prevented. In addition to maintaining good hygiene during menstruation, postpartum, or after miscarriage, it is important to pay attention to external genital hygiene in daily life to prevent vaginal inflammation and cervical erosion. Maintaining sexual hygiene is also crucial. Additionally, regularly sunning bedding, wearing cotton underwear, and changing them frequently are recommended. On this basis, regular gynecological examinations are also very important. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
