Does cervical polyp surgery require anesthesia?

Cervical polyps are a relatively common gynecological inflammation, which is more likely to occur in women between the ages of 30 and 50. Women in this age group have experienced sexual life and may have experienced abortion or childbirth. These factors are also an important cause of cervical polyps in women. When performing cervical polyp surgery, anesthesia is generally not required. This is a very small operation, so for women who want to undergo this operation, don't worry too much.

One-third of women do not feel any obvious symptoms after suffering from cervical polyps. Generally, the increase of leucorrhea and vaginal spotting caused by cervical polyps are easily ignored by women. Some patients may also experience symptoms such as leucorrhea with an unusual odor or color, and bleeding after sexual intercourse.

Cervical polyp is a very minor gynecological operation that does not require anesthesia. If the polyp is small, it can be directly removed with forceps. If it is relatively large, it can be removed with a lip knife. Western medicine mainly treats cervical polyps by surgical removal. You can get treatment at a local regular hospital, and usually it can be removed directly with laser. However, if accompanied by inflammation, the infection must be controlled first; if bleeding occurs, stopping the bleeding is the main focus.

Cervical polypectomy is very simple. Just expose the cervix with a special vaginal speculum under routine disinfection, disinfect it again, clamp the root of the polyp with hemostatic forceps, and twist it in one direction. After the operation, use cotton balls to apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Surgery was performed after inflammation was controlled.

Although polyps rarely become cancerous, the cancer rate is between 0.2% and 0.4%. For women over 45 years old, especially those who suffer from cervical polyps before and after menopause, the polyps should be sent for pathological examination after surgical removal. If there are signs of malignancy, treatment measures should be taken as soon as possible. In addition, the disease is prone to recurrence, and regular follow-up examinations should be performed after surgery, once every three months.

The above is an introduction to whether anesthesia is required during cervical polyp surgery. This surgery is a small outpatient surgery and the process is not complicated. Most of the time, anesthesia is not required. Please rest assured during the treatment.
