Cervical polyp malignancy, which is cervical cancer, can be completely cured if it is detected and treated early, with a cure rate reaching over 90%. Therefore, routine pathological examination must be performed when removing cervical polyps. If the pathology results indicate polyp malignancy, treatment should be carried out as for cervical cancer. The common treatment methods for cervical cancer are surgical treatment and postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Timely treatment can lead to a cure.

Can cervical polyps recur?

Cervical polyps are highly prone to recurrence. Often after removal, polyps can repeatedly grow back. Possible causes may be related to persistent inflammatory stimulation, hormonal imbalances such as excessively high levels of estrogen, and infections from pathogens. Mainly, infections from pathogens might occur through invasive procedures or external factors such as childbirth in women. Therefore, if the inflammation persists, individual differences in physical constitution with continuously high levels of estrogen, and the invasion of external pathogens can all contribute to the recurrent occurrence of cervical polyps.

Is the LEEP surgery for cervical polyps painful?

Cervical polyp removal using the LEEP procedure can be painful, but with advances in medical science, this operation can now be performed painlessly to minimize patient discomfort. Therefore, particularly sensitive patients who are very fearful of pain can opt for a painless LEEP procedure at the hospital. This can be achieved through intravenous anesthesia, which generally yields very good results, causes minimal discomfort, and facilitates a smooth recovery. Therefore, LEEP surgery on the cervix without anesthesia might be painful, but with anesthesia, it is usually very effective and problem-free. After surgery, it is important to manage inflammation appropriately and perform a pathological examination of the removed tissue. If there are no other complications, an annual follow-up is generally sufficient.

What to eat after cervical polyp surgery

Cervical polyp surgery is a common minor procedure in gynecological clinics. The surgical process for cervical polyps is relatively simple and has a minor impact on the patient’s body post-operatively. Generally, there are no special dietary requirements after cervical polyp surgery, and patients can resume a normal diet. However, it is important for patients to avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods shortly after the surgery to prevent gastrointestinal issues like bloating and diarrhea, which could affect the recovery from the cervical polyp 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.

How long will cervical polyps recur?

Cervical polyps can recur at various times, and this varies greatly from person to person, mainly related to the presence of chronic inflammation. If cervical inflammation persists, the likelihood of recurrence is somewhat higher and is also related to the surgical method used at the time. Methods like using a LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) generally result in a longer recurrence time. If it is just a simple removal surgery and the root is not completely removed, some may recur in about three months. Thus, there is significant individual variability.
