Patient's question:
Female, 32 years old, married for three years and using contraception. Planning to have a child this year. During pre-pregnancy testing at the General Hospital of Beijing Military Region, she was found to have uterine polyps. The doctor recommended surgery, fearing that the polyps might affect pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are formed due to long-term inflammatory stimulation, where the mucous membrane of the cervical canal proliferates and protrudes outward to form polyps. They are prone to bleeding, with long and slender stalks. Due to the presence of inflammation, polyps can recur after removal, although the rate of malignancy is extremely low, less than 1%. However, they are prone to recurrence. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a vaginal discharge examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
