How much does uterine polyp surgery cost

Uterine polyps are a very common gynecological disease, which can cause irregular vaginal bleeding, miscarriage, foreign objects in the uterine cavity, inflammatory stimulation, and endocrine disorders. Minor cases can be treated with medication, while severe cases require surgery to remove excess polyp tissue. A gynecological examination and hysteroscopy are required before the operation. The cost of surgery for uterine polyps is different in different hospitals and regions. Let's introduce it in detail below.

The concept of uterine polyps is somewhat general. Depending on the location of the polyps, there are two types of clinical polyps: endometrial polyps and cervical polyps. Endometrial polyps are generally caused by inflammatory hyperplasia of the endometrium, while cervical polyps are caused by long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation of the cervical mucosa, hyperplasia, and prolapse of the external os of the cervix. Endometrial polyps and cervical polyps grow in different locations, so the treatment methods and surgical costs are also different.

Treatments for endometrial polyps include curettage and hysteroscopic polypectomy. Generally, endometrial polyps are relatively small, and there is endometrial thickening. If the patient shows increased menstrual flow, a curettage can be performed. The cost of curettage is lower than that of hysteroscopy, and the cost of the operation is about 800 yuan. Currently, the most commonly used treatment for endometrial polyps is hysteroscopic surgery, which allows the uterine cavity condition, polyp size, endometrial thickness, etc. to be observed under direct vision, and the polyps can be removed under direct vision, with very good surgical results. Generally, hysteroscopic endometrial polypectomy costs about 2,000 yuan.

Now let's talk about the treatment of cervical polyps. Currently, cervical polyps are mainly treated with Lip knife resection, and cervical polypectomy can also be performed. The cost of Lip knife resection is about 1,500 yuan, and it is suitable for cervical polyps that are relatively large, have thick pedicles, and are multiple. For cervical polyps that are relatively small and have shallow roots, they can be clamped and removed with oval forceps or hemostatic forceps. The cost of this cervical polyp removal surgery is relatively low, usually around 500 yuan.

Whether it is endometrial polyps or cervical polyps, you must pay attention to rest after the operation, not overwork, strengthen nutrition, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and pay attention to preventing infection. You can take antibiotics for a few days after the operation to prevent infection. Do not have sex within half a month after the operation. Pay attention to the hygiene of the perineum after the operation, and wash and change underwear frequently. After uterine polyp surgery, the primary diseases such as endometritis and cervicitis must be treated. Regular check-ups should be paid attention to after the surgery, as polyps may recur after surgery.
