Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a check-up and found a polyp the size of a peanut. What treatment method is best for it without causing complications? I haven't given birth yet, and I'm afraid the treatment might lead to infertility. I also have vaginitis, and the doctor prescribed Fuyinping effervescent tablets and Qingbai wash solution. Additionally, how should I treat adnexitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello:Any mass growing in the cervix, within the cervical canal, or attached to the uterine wall via a slender stalk can be clinically referred to as an uterine polyp. Therefore, polypoid masses within the uterine cavity may be fibroids (when a submucosal stalk protrudes into the cavity, forming a fibroid-like polyp). Endometrial polyps are caused by excessive endometrial hyperplasia and can occur at any age. They are a very common type of localized endometrial lesion, projecting into the uterine cavity, smooth, with a meaty consistency, and stalks of varying lengths. Longer stalks may protrude outside the cervix, while some have shorter stalks. Smaller polyps generally cause no clinical symptoms. Some polyps that protrude outside the cervix may be discovered during postcoital bleeding.
Vaginitis can be clearly diagnosed, and symptomatic treatment can be administered.
Chronic adnexal inflammation is usually treated with a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. This typically involves Chinese medicine (primarily focused on promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis) combined with Western medicine (mainly antibiotics). Physical therapy methods such as laser, microwave, or iontophoresis may also be considered. In daily life, it is important to maintain a balance between rest and activity, increase nutrition, and exercise regularly to enhance overall immunity.，(、).
