Pregnancy cervical polyp bleeding

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Okay, during her last prenatal check-up, she was found to have cervical polyps. Over the past two days, her cervix suddenly bled on its own, and everyone in the family was terrified. Is it dangerous for her to have cervical polyps at her current pregnancy stage? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the presence of cervical polyps can affect childbirth, so it is recommended to undergo treatment before delivery. Polyps located at the cervix can obstruct some semen from entering the uterine cavity, reducing sperm quantity and thus lowering fertility rates. The essence of cervical polyps is chronic cervical inflammation, which often produces a significant amount of inflammatory secretions. These secretions, containing a large number of red and white blood cells and pathogenic bacteria, can disrupt the physiological environment of the vagina, reducing sperm motility and shortening its survival time. Cervical polyps can also lead to the formation of a mucus plug at the cervix, further obstructing sperm from entering the uterine cavity.
The treatment for cervical polyps bleeding during pregnancy is very simple—only the polyps need to be removed. Generally, the removed specimen is sent for examination to determine whether early cervical cancer is present. Early cervical cancer is very similar in appearance to cervical inflammation and is often indistinguishable under the naked eye. It is also necessary to rule out any inflammation of the vagina or cervix, especially when combined with sexually transmitted diseases, to avoid exacerbating the inflammation or affecting the healing of the cervical wound.
