Patient's question:

Hello, polyps that are long and narrow and attached to the inner wall of the uterine cavity can all be clinically referred to as uterine polyps.According to the size, location, shape of the polyps, and the patient's age, different treatment methods are adopted.
1. For larger polyps with stalks, which can be seen or felt in the lower segment of the uterus, the polyps can be removed by dilating the cervix, followed by cervical and uterine scraping to remove remaining polyps and send them for pathological examination.
2. For small focal or diffuse polyps, a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure is performed, with attention to thorough scraping, especially at the fundus and cornual areas of the uterus.
3. After uterine surgery, anti-infection treatment should be administered. Clinically, oral or intravenous antibiotics can be given.
4. For patients with significant bleeding symptoms that cannot be completely eradicated or frequently recur with the above treatments, hysterectomy should be considered.
