Patient's question:
Two months ago, three days after my menstrual period ended, I had an ultrasound check: endometrial thickness was 8mm, with a 1.20.8mm strong light mass, other findings were normal. The doctor diagnosed uterine polyps and recommended taking four boxes of 25-flavored. The doctor suggested a follow-up check next month. However, I haven't gone in two months. In recent months, my menstrual period has been longer, lasting 7-8 days, and it's almost clean by the 8-9th day. Sometimes, I have small, rice-sized, pale red skin-like particles in my urine, and sometimes there is red leukorrhea on the toilet paper, which seems to disappear after about 10 days. Lately, my lower back has also been aching. I don't know what the reason is. Are uterine polyps prone to cancer? Is my condition dangerous?Doctor's answer:
The possibility of cervical polyps becoming cancerous is very small. As long as they are treated actively and early, this situation will not occur. However, compared to polyps in other parts of the body, cervical polyps have a slightly higher likelihood of becoming cancerous, approximately 0.2% to 0.4%. For women who discover cervical polyps around or during menopause, pathological examination of the polyps should be conducted after surgical removal. If any signs of malignancy are detected, treatment should be implemented as early as possible.
