The uterus is a relatively heavy organ in the female body, and regular physical examinations are necessary to timely understand the health status of the uterus. If there is a disease in the uterus, it will not only affect fertility, but also bring other adverse effects to the body. For example, uterine polyps are very common. Do we have to undergo surgery if there are polyps in the uterine cavity?
If polyps appear in the uterine cavity and require surgery, different treatment methods can be chosen based on the location and size of the polyps. Conservative treatment can be adopted for patients with mild conditions. As the cause of uterine polyps is related to hormone levels, some hormone controlling drugs can be used for treatment. If drug treatment is effective, there is no need to solve polyps through surgery.
But if the polyp has a large volume or a special location, it needs to be surgically removed in order to restore uterine health. Nowadays, medical technology is relatively advanced, and the removal of polyps from the uterus does not require surgery. It can be completed through hysteroscopy, and the postoperative recovery is also relatively good.
Studies have shown that the incidence of uterine polyps is also related to inflammation, so it is important to pay attention to preventing reproductive tract inflammation in daily life, which can reduce the risk of uterine polyps. For example, one should change their underwear frequently, preferably every day, and clean and dry it in a timely manner. Then it is important to pay attention to sexual hygiene and avoid unclean sexual activity.
