Patient's question:
Morning, I washed my lower body, and when washing deep into the vagina, I touched a fleshy lump, but there was no pain.Doctor's answer:
What you described may be a vaginal polyp. Vaginal polyps are relatively rare and are usually caused by chronic inflammation. However, it is necessary to rule out other proliferative lesions such as genital warts, as well as polyps from the cervix or uterine cavity that have prolapsed into the vagina.Therefore, if a cervical polyp is detected, active treatment should be initiated. Surgical removal is generally the primary method, though medication, laser therapy, and other methods can also be used. The removed polyp should be sent for pathological examination to rule out the possibility of malignancy.
The surgery to remove a polyp is very minor, but if the polyp is large, the stalk is very thick, or the woman has hypertension, heart disease, or a blood disorder, the surgery should be performed with caution.
