Do uterine polyps require surgery?

Uterine polyps are common gynecological diseases and are also a symptom of chronic cervicitis. The treatment methods for uterine polyps are mainly conservative treatment and surgical treatment. For example, conservative treatment often uses some Chinese medicine for treatment, but the effect will be relatively slow. Through surgical treatment, the effect will come faster. Polyps with more severe symptoms or faster growth should be treated with surgery in time to avoid causing greater harm!

If uterine polyps are left untreated and allowed to grow, it will affect women's reproductive function and cause infertility. It will also cause pain during sexual intercourse and even bleeding. Therefore, timely removal of uterine polyps is very necessary.

Uterine polyp surgery is relatively simple and is just a minor operation. Although it is small, uterine polyps will not be cured after surgery. If you do not pay attention to maintenance after surgical removal of uterine polyps, the chance of recurrence is very high.

1. Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene after treatment. The couple is prohibited from having sexual intercourse within one month, and should go to the hospital to check their recovery status after one month.

2. Pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. Although cervical polyp surgery is very simple, short and minimally invasive, patients still need to pay attention to allowing their bodies to recover to normal levels as much as possible to prevent pathogenic bacteria from invading and wreaking havoc when the patient's immunity is low.

3. Take medicine on time and have regular check-ups. Patients should take anti-infective drugs as required by the doctor and should not stop taking the drugs or increase or decrease the dosage at will. Given the high chance of recurrence of this disease, it is best for patients to have a check-up every 2 months to reduce subsequent effects.

4. Eat a light and nutritious diet. After surgery, patients can choose some foods that are easy to digest and rich in vitamins, such as tomatoes, apples, etc. However, patients are advised to eat less or no spicy, irritating, greasy, and high-sugar foods because they are not conducive to wound healing.
