Cervical polyp removal varies depending on the size and location of the polyp. Recovery also varies accordingly. For small external cervical polyps, routine polypectomy is commonly performed, allowing patients to recover shortly after surgery, generally without any discomfort within two to three days. However, for larger cervical polyps, especially endocervical polyps that require removal, the surgery must be completed under hysteroscopic electrocautery. Recovery from this type of surgery generally takes about a week. Regardless of the type, regular follow-up exams are necessary after removing cervical polyps to rule out the possibility of recurrence.
