Patient's question:
Doctor:I only recently discovered that I have cervical polyps in the past year, but I don't want to undergo a small surgery to treat them. What Chinese herbal medicines can be used to regulate and improve them? Please reply? (Is it good to continue using these Chinese herbal medicines for long-term regulation of the body after the polyps are cured?)
Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are formed due to long-term stimulation by chronic inflammation, leading to hyperplasia of the cervical mucosa. The uterus has a tendency to expel foreign substances, causing the hyperplastic mucosa to gradually protrude from the basal layer towards the external cervical os, forming one or more polyps, generally with a diameter of about 1 cm, red in color, fragile, and prone to bleeding. Due to the presence of inflammation, polyps often recur after removal but rarely become malignant. Local treatment is the primary approach, and routine cervical scraping or biopsy is recommended before treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and clean the external genitalia.
