Are barren polyps benign?

Generally, the possibility of benign clitoral polyps is high, but there are also special cases. Most of them are caused by chronic inflammation, and it is impossible to tell where the root of the polyp is located due to the close connection between the polyp and the endometrium, intestinal wall, gastric mucosa, etc. Such polyps are called “non-clitoral polyps”. If the base of the polyp is wide, surgery is needed to remove it. Although the majority of sessile polyps are benign, there are special cases. In some cases, some patients may develop non-clitoral polyps due to uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, gastric cancer, intestinal cancer, etc. In this case, we need to be vigilant about whether non-clitoral polyps will become cancerous, and we can take some of the diseased tissues for pathologic examination, which can accurately determine whether they are benign lesions or not. In some cases, even if a sessile polyp is found to be benign, it may become cancerous with the development of the disease. Therefore, patients need to treat them, especially if the polyps are large in size and in a special location, they can be surgically removed.
