Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I gave birth in May this year, and the doctor said there were uterine polyps inside the uterus. He said to come back for a check-up in three months. Will it be harmful to my body if I don't have the polyps removed? I am very worried about my health right now, and I don't know what to do. Should I have surgery?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are a common gynecological condition and a clinical manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. They are caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation leading to local hyperplasia of the mucosal tissue in the cervical canal. Due to the body's natural tendency to reject, the hyperplastic mucosa gradually protrudes from its base to the external cervical os, forming polyp-like changes, hence also known as cervical endometrial polyps.Advice: It is recommended to consume more soybeans and their products, such as tofu, soy milk, and soy, as well as vegetables like celery, cauliflower, edamame, and sugar peas. These foods can replenish phytoestrogen, which contains isoflavones and lignans, both of which have been scientifically recognized for their antioxidant effects. It is best to undergo examination and treatment at a formal hospital. Wishing you good health!
