Is surgery necessary for uterine polyps?

The uterus is not only an organ in the body, but also the cradle of life. The uterus is also more susceptible to disease, and many gynecological diseases are related to the uterus. For example, uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, uterine cancer, etc. These diseases seriously affect women's health. If not treated in time, the condition will become more and more serious. Some people equate uterine polyps and fibroids as the same disease, but this is not the case. So is surgery necessary if you have uterine polyps?

Is surgery necessary for uterine polyps?

First of all, endometrial polyps refer to the excessive growth of local endometrial glands and stroma and the accompanying blood vessels, which protrude into the uterine cavity. It is a common benign intrauterine lesion in gynecology. It can grow anywhere in the uterine cavity, either alone or in multiples throughout the uterus. Small endometrial polyps are only 0.2~0.3 cm, and large ones are 2~3 cm or larger. They can be oval, triangular or irregular in shape, and most polyps have a stalk at the root.

Secondly, the main cause is the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, which causes local mucosal hyperplasia and other lesions in the cervical canal. The hyperplastic mucosa then gradually protrudes from the base to the external os of the cervix and forms polyps, which can easily lead to symptoms such as bleeding and relapse.

Ultimately, uterine polyps require surgery. The LEEP knife is a very delicate surgery that not only does not damage the surrounding tissues, but also is painless during the treatment and leaves no scars after the surgery. It can also better avoid complications such as bleeding or infection. However, since this technology is a cervical cone-section surgery that requires the removal of part of the cervical tissue, it will have a certain impact on fertility and is not recommended for infertile women.
