Patient's question:
Cervical polyps, which have repeatedly grown back, have now been removed. How can treatment be performed to ensure they do not recur?The endometrium shows non-uniform responses on ultrasound. Is a D&C necessary?
Age
Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are one of the common gynecological diseases, with an incidence rate of about 5% in women of childbearing age. This condition is related to factors such as inflammation, sexual activity, and childbirth.Cervical polyps can be divided into two types based on their location of occurrence.
Polyps that form from local hyperplasia of the cervical canal mucosa generally have a thin and long stalk, making them easier to remove completely. In contrast, polyps that develop in the vaginal part of the cervix, although superficial in position, have a wider base, making them more difficult to remove completely and prone to regrowth.
Additionally, since cervical polyps are a manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation, even after the polyp is removed, the chronic inflammation of the cervix is not eliminated. The pathogenic bacteria still remain in the cervical tissue, meaning the underlying cause persists. Therefore, after removing a cervical polyp, treatment for the chronic inflammation of the cervix should still be administered to prevent recurrence.
