Should polyps in the vagina be surgically removed?

Patient's question:

One year ago, during a gynecological examination, a small polyp was found. Now it is said to be growing relatively quickly, and surgery is recommended to remove the polyp. Does this condition require general anesthesia?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, vaginal polyps are relatively rare and are generally caused by chronic inflammation. However, it is necessary to rule out conditions such as genital warts and other proliferative lesions, as well as the possibility of cervical or endometrial polyps prolapsing into the vagina. It is recommended to undergo further examination. For simple vaginal polyps, laser treatment can be used, which is safe, painless, minimally invasive, quick, and has a fast recovery. Generally, a vaginal examination requires the use of a colposcope, so we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
