Patient's question:
Because previously there was white discharge with curd-like texture and severe itching of the external genitalia, and the seriousness of the condition was not recognized, it was continuously delayed. Later, during sexual activity, there was bleeding, and the severity of the condition was understood. Upon further examination, cervical polyps were found, and they were surgically removed under colposcopy. Pathology examination confirmed cervical polyps, and the white discharge test was normal. However, seven months later, abnormal white discharge and some lower back pain appeared, and another polyp was found during examination and surgically removed. But after removal, the white discharge remained abnormal. Last week, a colposcopy examination showed a smooth cervix, and the white discharge cleanliness was rated as III. Always feeling that the abnormal white discharge indicated a problem, a second examination was conducted on the cervix, and another polyp was found. The doctor said it should be removed three days after menstruation, but...Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are attached to the cervical os or within the cervical canal. Another type of cervical polyp occurs in the vaginal part of the cervix. Cervical polyps are also formed due to the stimulation of chronic inflammation, local proliferation of cervical canal mucosa, and gradual outward protrusion. If cervical polyps are not treated, they can gradually grow, obstruct the cervical os, cause infertility, or lead to sexual intercourse bleeding or bloody leukorrhea. Therefore, it is best to remove cervical polyps immediately upon discovery. Additionally, the symptoms you described, such as "cheesy leukorrhea and itchy external genitalia," are indicative of candidal vaginitis. It is recommended that you actively cooperate with your doctor for treatment to eliminate the inflammation.
