If a pregnant woman experiences severe bleeding from cervical polyps, she should seek medical attention for appropriate surgical treatment, which may carry a risk of threatened miscarriage during the procedure. Preventive fetal protection therapy should be administered before surgery to ensure fetal stability and prevent threatened miscarriage. After surgery, most patients have a good prognosis and typically experience no significant impact on their health. However, if left untreated for a prolonged period, bleeding may gradually increase, potentially leading to threatened miscarriage, preterm labor, maternal anemia, or infection. Patients are advised to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol consumption, follow a regular sleep schedule, and avoid staying up late.
