As is well known, cervical polyps are a common cervical disease, belonging to chronic diseases, and the affected population is mostly married women. But due to the unpredictable shape and size of cervical polyps, only by going to the hospital for gynecological examination can we know the condition of cervical polyps. How big can a uterine polyp be without surgery?
Both uterine polyps and uterine fibroids belong to benign space occupying lesions in gynecology. When the lesions are relatively small, they usually do not require special treatment and generally do not grow quickly. When polyps or fibroids exceed five centimeters, or cause an increase in menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation, increased bleeding, and the possibility of anemia, it is the indication for surgery. It is recommended to choose surgical resection, which can be considered under hysteroscopy or minimally invasive surgery, depending on the specific growth of polyps and tumors.
Cervical polyps may also have the possibility of recurrence, so it is important to actively prevent and treat chronic inflammation of the cervix. Generally, larger polyps can be felt by touch. After performing intrauterine surgery, anti infective treatment should also be carried out.
After undergoing surgery for uterine polyps, the main things to pay attention to include:
1. Sexual activity should be avoided in the month after surgery, and normal sexual activity should be resumed after the first menstrual period after surgery.
2. After surgery, it is important to change underwear daily and clean the external genitalia with warm water or disinfectant to prevent pathogenic bacteria from invading the vagina.
3. Do not engage in strenuous activities such as playing ball or running for a short period of time after surgery, and do not do heavy physical labor.
