Do cervical polyps need to be removed?

Cervical polyps usually do not need to be removed. Cervical polyps are localized hyperplasia of the glands and stroma of the cervix and protrude toward the external orifice to form polyps. Usually, simple surgery to remove the polyps themselves does not require removal of the entire cervix. This method can effectively remove the diseased tissue while maximizing the normal structure and function of the cervix. Simple cervical polypectomy surgery is relatively less invasive, postoperative recovery is faster, and has little impact on patients 'daily life and reproductive function. If the cervix is removed blindly, it may bring a series of complications, such as increased postoperative bleeding, affecting sexual quality of life, and increasing the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes such as premature delivery and premature rupture of membranes. only in rare cases, such as severe and extensive cervical lesions that cannot be resolved by local resection of polyps, or suspected malignant changes that cannot be diagnosed definitively, will a broader surgical approach be considered, including partial or total cervical resection. However, this requires careful evaluation and decision making based on multiple factors and cannot be easily performed. For the treatment of cervical polyps, the appropriate treatment method should be selected according to the specific situation. In most cases, it is not necessary to remove the cervix. Patients should fully communicate with their doctors to understand the advantages and disadvantages of various treatment options in order to make the most suitable choice for themselves.
