The current clinical understanding is that the cause of cervical polyps is mostly due to local inflammation in the cervix or vagina, which leads to epithelial hyperplasia and subsequently the formation of cervical polyps. Thus, as long as cervical and vaginal inflammation is present, there is a possibility of recurrence of cervical polyps. Therefore, to thoroughly eradicate cervical polyps, it is recommended that patients pay attention to the health and hygiene of the reproductive system. Patients are advised to keep the perineum clean and dry, undergo regular gynecological exams, and check for any vaginal or cervical inflammation. If inflammation is present, timely treatment is recommended.

Can cervical polyps be treated in the outpatient department?

Cervical polyps are a common gynecological condition. Because the surgical procedure is simple and the relative risk is quite low, most patients undergo this surgery on an outpatient basis. However, if the patient's physical condition is special, complicated by severe internal medical issues, or if the cervical polyp’s base is deep and the local blood supply is rich, increasing the surgical risk, it might be safer to perform the surgery in a hospital setting. The specific approach should be tailored to the patient's individual condition. Trust in your doctor and cooperate with their treatment plan to achieve the best therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, cervical polyps are a manifestation of an inflammatory disease and are benign, so patients need not be overly anxious.

Can you have sexual intercourse with cervical polyps?

Patients with cervical polyps can easily experience bleeding during sexual intercourse. Therefore, if cervical polyps are present, the first step should be their removal. If bleeding during sexual intercourse persists after the removal, it is essential to undergo precancerous cervical screening. This is because contact bleeding during intercourse can occur if there are precancerous lesions in the cervix, and timely treatment is necessary. Precancerous cervical screening, which includes HPV and TCT tests, is a mandatory examination for women over the age of 30, allowing for the early detection of precancerous cervical changes and cervical cancer.

Cervical polyp laser surgery effect

The surgery for cervical polyps is a common minor operation in the gynecological outpatient operating room. The treatment for cervical polyps can be conducted using laser methods or through traditional surgical removal. Currently, each of these methods has its advantages and disadvantages. Laser surgery for cervical polyps is very effective, not only speeding up the operation time and reducing damage but also promoting a quicker recovery for patients. However, it is important to note that not all patients with cervical polyps are suitable for laser surgery. Patients with cervical polyps need a further evaluation in the gynecological clinic to determine if they are suitable for laser treatment.

Do cervical polyps require hospitalization?

Generally, women with cervical polyps can undergo a minor removal surgery in an outpatient setting, and hospitalization is not necessary. This is because cervical polyps are usually not very large and have a thin, long stalk connected inside the cervical canal. In the outpatient setting, the polyp on the cervix can be clamped with hemostatic forceps, followed by minor excision, or the cervical forceps can be directly rotated to cause ischemia and hypoxia at the base of the stalk, making it fall off on its own. However, some women may have larger cervical polyps, especially those with deeper and broader bases. If polyp removal surgery is performed in an outpatient setting, it may be difficult to locate the base of the polyp to completely remove it, and there could be considerable bleeding during the surgery. Additionally, cervical polyps in some women may be an indication of cervical cancer or endometrial cancer. In such cases, hospitalization and surgical treatment are typically required.
