Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor, hysteroscopic surgery for endometrial polyps, is it done under direct visualization with the hysteroscope, or is the polyp located with the hysteroscope, and then the scope is retracted before performing a D&C?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Cervical polyps are one manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation and are more common in married women. They are formed due to long-term stimulation by chronic inflammation, leading to local mucosal hyperplasia in the cervical canal and protrusion outward toward the external cervical os.Advice: Polyps are usually one or more in number, red in color, and shaped like tongues. Their diameter is generally about 1 cm, and they are soft and fragile, making them prone to bleeding. The stalks are slender and long. Cervical polyps are often overlooked because more than one-third of patients lack obvious symptoms and are only discovered during a doctor's examination. Even when symptoms are present, they are usually mild, primarily characterized by small amounts of fresh, intermittent bleeding or slight bleeding after sexual intercourse. In some cases, this bleeding may be mistaken for "menstruation." In a few cases, the bleeding volume may be similar to that of menstruation. Some patients may have yellowish or foul-smelling discharge, or their discharge may contain blood streaks. It can also manifest as postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. Unmarried patients often present with a swollen mass protruding from the vaginal opening.
