Cervical polyp removal surgery will not cause significant pain; however, some discomfort may arise, typically due to the use of a vaginal speculum, which feels similar to the discomfort experienced during regular examinations. The cervix itself does not have pain receptors, so there is no pain felt during cervical examinations and treatments. If there are cervical polyps, the surgery can be scheduled for three to seven days after menstruation has ended, as this timing allows for a longer interval before the next bleeding occurs, which is relatively safer and minimizes the risk of infection.
