Patient's question:
I went to the hospital a few days ago for a check-up and was told I have cervical polyps. I don't know what to do. Do I have to have surgery? I work very busy every day. Is there any effective medication that can treat it? Do I still have to go to the hospital for surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's okay if you're small. Cervical polyps are one of the most common diseases of cervical lesions in women, mostly occurring in middle-aged and elderly women. Clinical data shows that the incidence rate accounts for about 5% of women of childbearing age, 4% to 10% of all cervical lesions, with the peak onset occurring between the ages of 30 and 50. 98% of cases occur in married women, among whom 62.3% are multiparous, and about 35% are married women who have not given birth, while less than 2% are unmarried. It can be seen that the occurrence of cervical polyps is related to changes in women's physiological conditions, sexual activity, and childbirth. Over one-third of patients with cervical polyps have no symptoms in clinical practice, even if symptoms do occur, they are very mild, making them easily overlooked. Vaginal bleeding is often "a few scattered spots," sometimes mistaken for "menstruation." Some patients may have yellowish leukorrhea with a bad odor, or blood streaks in their leukorrhea. Unmarried women commonly experience a swollen mass protruding from the vaginal opening.
