Can cervical polyps be felt?
Cervical polyps are not detectable by touch; a gynecological internal examination is required where a speculum is used to dilate the vagina to view the cervix. This allows for the observation of any cervical polyps, their size, and based on the examination results, timely surgical treatment can be administered. Cervical polyps are caused by cervical inflammation that leads to localized tissue hyperplasia exhibiting polypoid changes. Once cervical polyps are identified, it is crucial to promptly proceed with further cervical cancer screening. If there is no HPV infection and TCT is normal, polypectomy should be performed. Post-surgery, a pathological examination is necessary. It is also advised to avoid cold exposure, exhaustion, and spicy or irritating foods to maintain health.
