Does a Cervical Polyp Require Surgery?

Cervical polyps require surgical removal, and regular follow-up visits are necessary to prevent recurrence. Attention should also be paid to vulvar care and hygiene. Cervical polyps are tissue proliferations caused by chronic inflammation of the cervix, often manifesting as blood-streaked leucorrhea, bleeding during intercourse, increased yellow, sticky vaginal discharge, and pain in the lumbar sacral region.

It is recommended to undergo a leucorrhea routine test, blood routine test, coagulation function test, and gynecological examination 3-7 days after menstruation ends. If no contraindications are found, cervical polypectomy can be performed. The removed polyps should be sent for pathological examination, with the final clinical diagnosis serving as the standard. Cervical polyps often recur. It is recommended to have a follow-up visit 3-6 months after surgery to check for signs of recurrence. If recurrence occurs, another surgery may be needed.

If there is local cervical congestion and edema, active treatment of the inflammatory response should be given, such as oral administration of Levofloxacin Lactate Tablets and Metronidazole Tablets, to avoid cervical polyps and recurrence. Women are also advised to pay attention to sexual and menstrual hygiene in daily life, strengthen local vulvar care, reduce local cervical inflammation, take contraceptive measures to avoid unintended pregnancies that may require induced abortion, which can cause damage to the cervix and may also lead to local cervical inflammation.
