Which surgery is better for cervical polyps: laser or LEEP?
Disease description:
Endocrine disorders, elevated estrogen levels, or chronic inflammatory stimulation of the cervical mucosa may lead to cervical polyps. Although the risk of malignant transformation in such polyps is very low, they are typically soft, fragile, and highly vascularized. In such cases, which surgical approach is better for cervical polyps—laser surgery or loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP)?

Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
If the polyp grows externally, cervical polyp surgery usually requires a LEEP procedure; however, if the polyp grows internally, hysteroscopic surgery is typically needed for better outcomes. Therefore, the choice of surgical method for cervical polyps should be based on your specific condition. Uterine polyps are a form of chronic cervicitis and should be treated promptly after diagnosis to avoid adverse health effects. It is advisable to undergo proper evaluation first and then select the appropriate surgical approach under a doctor's guidance, while also paying attention to hygiene and bodily regulation.
