Although cervical polyps are a common gynecological disease in clinical practice and are often overlooked due to the lack of obvious symptoms, they also pose a threat to physical health and require surgical removal. So, how long does it take to undergo surgery for cervical polyps?
If the polyps in the uterine cavity exceed one centimeter, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment. Before surgery, some routine examination items need to be performed, such as blood routine, urine routine, and liver and kidney function tests. Surgery can only be performed when all aspects of the examination are normal.
At present, minimally invasive surgery under hysteroscopy is mainly used for the treatment of uterine polyps. Hysteroscopy can visually observe the size, location, shape, and number of polyps in the uterine cavity, and can also be used for resection. The general surgery time is around 30 minutes, but the total time from the start of various laboratory tests to the end of the surgery is about four to five hours.
After minimally invasive hysteroscopic surgery for uterine polyps, it is recommended to rest for about two weeks if possible. During this period, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and use anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infection. If necessary, intravenous infusion should be used to avoid postoperative infection. During the recovery period, intense exercise or excessive household chores should be avoided. After one month of surgery, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to determine whether normal conditions have been restored.
