Treatment of female anal polyps

We know that the anus plays a very important role in our human body. If there is a problem with our anus, it will not only cause us pain but also easily affect our excretion, causing great harm to our health. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to the cleanliness and health of the anus in daily life. The anus is prone to polyps. Below we will introduce to you the treatment methods of female anal polyps.

Anal polyps often require surgical treatment, and pathological diagnosis of polyp specimens after surgery is crucial. Some patients may have recurrence after resection and require multiple surgeries:

1. For pedunculated polyps with a diameter of less than 2 cm and non-polyposis patients, transanal resection or endoscopic snare removal, biopsy forceps removal, or high-frequency electrocoagulation can be performed.

2. For broad-based polyps with a diameter greater than 2 cm, surgical options can be selected based on actual clinical conditions:

(1) Transanal surgery is suitable for rectal polyps located below the peritoneal fold.

(2) Transabdominal surgery is suitable for polyps with a base diameter greater than 2 cm above the peritoneal reflection.

(3) For broad-based polyps with a diameter greater than 2 cm and lesions located only in the mucosal layer, endoscopic submucosal dissection can be performed.

(4) For polypectomy that is 5 to 15 cm away from the anal verge, transanal endoscopic polypectomy can be performed if conditions permit.

(5) For those 5 to 10 cm away from the anal verge, resection can also be performed through the anal sphincter approach.
