Cervical polyps are generally caused by chronic inflammation of the cervix. Most patients with cervical polyps do not have obvious clinical symptoms, but a few may experience abnormal vaginal discharge with an unusual odor or yellowing, bleeding after intercourse, or bloody secretions in the discharge. Most cervical polyps are benign and treatment is relatively simple. Treatments include cervical polyp removal surgery and electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). The polyps removed during surgery must undergo pathological examination to determine their benign or malignant nature. Generally, the surgery is performed within 3 to 7 days after the end of menstruation.

What department should I register for cervical polyps?

Cervical polyps are a type of gynecological disease and a form of chronic cervicitis. It requires registration for a gynecological examination. Cervical polyps are localized hyperplasia of the cervical canal glands and stroma, protruding outward from the cervical os to form polyps. Cervical polyps are typically multiple but can also be singular. They are red, soft, and fragile, appearing snake-like, and may have a pedicle, whose width varies. The base can be attached to the external or internal os of the cervix. Therefore, once cervical polyps are discovered, it is necessary to promptly visit a hospital for examination and, if necessary, surgical treatment. A cervical cancer screening examination is required before surgery.

Is it serious if a cervical polyp bursts?

The texture of cervical polyps in women tends to be more fragile, and they may have inflammatory cell infiltration on their surfaces, which could also affect coagulation functions. If rupture occurs, the bleeding could last longer. Some women with cervical polyps experience minor ruptures and minimal bleeding, which can be quickly stopped using simple compression hemostasis or by applying traditional Chinese medicines locally. However, if the rupture area of the polyp is large, ordinary methods may not suffice to stop the bleeding. Particularly, some cervical polyps in women may indicate carcinogenic changes, as cancer can grow rapidly, possibly outpacing the blood supply, leading to local rupture and shedding. In such cases, the resulting bleeding can be fatal and difficult to control.

Will cervical polyps grow back after being removed?

Under normal circumstances, the majority of cervical polyps form due to chronic inflammation of the cervix, with persistent stimulation leading to the development of cervical polyps. Most cervical polyps are benign, with only a rare few possibly becoming malignant. Generally, after removing a cervical polyp, it may regrow; these polyps are prone to recurrence. Therefore, after the removal of a cervical polyp, it is common for them to regrow, and a follow-up examination is typically recommended half a year or a year later. Postoperative treatment generally involves the use of anti-inflammatory medication. Thus, once a cervical polyp has formed, it is crucial to have an annual check-up. Also, patients with cervical polyps should be vigilant about the possibility of endometrial polyps. At this time, it is necessary to visit a hospital for an ultrasound to confirm if the endometrium is normal, as the polyp may regrow after removal.

Are cervical polyps prone to miscarriage?

Cervical polyps are a common disease in women, mainly caused by local inflammation of the cervix which leads to localized tissue hyperplasia, appearing as polypoid changes. For cervical polyps, the majority of them are unlikely to cause miscarriage. Before pregnancy, it is generally recommended to check the cervix for polyps during pre-pregnancy examinations. If polyps are found, they should be removed before pregnancy. If cervical polyps are discovered during pregnancy, a joint decision should be made based on the patient's symptoms and clinical manifestations. If the cervical polyp is relatively small, it may not require treatment. However, if the cervical polyp repeatedly causes bleeding or inflammation, then it should be removed during pregnancy. Removing the polyp in accordance with standard treatment procedures is generally not likely to cause miscarriage.

Does cervical polyp cause bleeding during intercourse?

Cervical polyps can cause bleeding during intercourse. Common causes of bleeding during intercourse seen clinically include cervical polyps, cervical erosion, cervical cancer, and precancerous lesions, all of which can cause contact bleeding during intercourse. Therefore, once contact bleeding during intercourse occurs clinically, it is essential to go to the hospital for relevant examinations. If the bleeding is caused by a cervical polyp, a cervical polypectomy must be performed. If the bleeding is due to cervical erosion, tests for cervical cancer and precancerous lesions must be conducted. If cervical cancer and precancerous conditions are ruled out, and the bleeding is caused by erosion, treatments such as laser, electrocoagulation, or cryocoagulation can be used. Furthermore, once contact bleeding during intercourse occurs, cervical cancer screening with TCT and HPV testing is essential. Treatment is generally based on the results of these two tests.
