Can uterine polyps become cervical cancer? What are the early treatment methods for uterine polyps
The appearance of cervical polyps is particularly troublesome for many women, not only affecting their normal life, but also endangering their health. After falling ill, we must treat them as soon as possible according to our own condition.
Can cervical polyps become cancerous
Cervical polyps may undergo malignant transformation, but the likelihood of such transformation is very low. If cervical polyps are found, they should be removed as soon as possible and sent for pathological examination. Do not take them lightly because the possibility of cancer is small.
Cervical polyps are mainly caused by the long-term stimulation of cervicitis, which leads to excessive proliferation of mucosal epithelial cells. During the process of frequent cell proliferation, abnormal cancer cells are likely to appear. Cancer cells proliferate rapidly, and once they metastasize, they can lead to cancer spread and ultimately endanger the patient's life. Therefore, once cervical polyps are found, they must be immediately removed. After removing the polyps, tissue sectioning examination is required. If cancer is found, radical cervical cancer surgery must be carried out immediately to save the patient's life.
Treatment methods for cervical polyps
1. Surgical treatment of cervical polyps: The traditional method of directly removing cervical polyps is fast, but it can only inhibit the development of the condition and cannot be fundamentally cured. It is generally not recommended to use. Secondly, there is the procedure of removing polyps with vascular forceps, which is prone to infection and causes many inflammations and is usually not recommended.
2. Surgery combined with medication treatment: Whether in traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, the treatment of cervical polyps requires surgery and medication for anti-inflammatory treatment. Cervical polyps are the proliferation and accumulation of cervical mucosa, protruding from the basal layer of the mucosa to the outer opening of the cervix. Drug treatment cannot eliminate polyps and can only be performed directly.
3. Electric ironing: Use an electric iron head to contact the erosive surface, causing the tissue to solidify and form a scab. After about two weeks, the scab begins to peel off, and wound healing usually takes 6-8 weeks. Surgery should be performed 3-5 days after menstruation. Inflammatory individuals with attachments cannot use it. After treatment, if vaginal discharge can temporarily increase or if there is excessive bleeding, disinfected gauze can be used to compress and stop the bleeding. It should be removed 24 hours later. The disadvantage is that scar contraction leads to cervical stenosis.
4. Cryotherapy: Using a liquid nitrogen rapid cooling device, place the probe on the erosive surface for 1-3 minutes, naturally rewarm it, and remove it to cause frozen necrosis of the affected tissue. After 2-3 weeks of treatment, many watery secretions can flow out. The advantage is less bleeding and cervical stenosis.
