Do you have to have surgery for cervical polyps?

Cervical polyps do not necessarily require surgery. Cervical polyps are due to chronic inflammation stimulating cervical cells, resulting in local tissue hyperplasia, often occurring at the ectocervix. The clinical manifestations are red soft flesh-like tissue with a tip, brittle, easy to bleed, varying in size and quantity. If the polyps are large and bleeding, they need to be removed and sent for postoperative examination. However, small polyps without active bleeding can be left untreated and regular rechecking of TCT and HPV can be done. The recurrence rate of polyps is extremely high. After polyp surgery, sex and bathing are prohibited for one month, pay attention to vulva hygiene, wear loose cotton underwear, eat a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, keep bowel movements smooth, and detect gynecological inflammation.
