When pregnant women experience recurrent bleeding from cervical polyps, they should seek medical attention promptly and undergo examination and treatment by a qualified physician. Gynecological exams and ultrasound imaging are recommended to determine the cause of bleeding and assess the condition of the polyp. To manage the bleeding, doctors may prescribe hemostatic medications to control symptoms. Pregnant women should rest in bed and avoid strenuous activities and excessive fatigue to prevent worsening of the condition.
If the polyp is large or has potential for malignant changes, the doctor may recommend surgical removal during the second trimester when the fetus is more stable. Pregnant women should also maintain good personal hygiene and abstain from sexual intercourse to prevent exacerbation of the condition and infection. Recurrent bleeding from cervical polyps requires timely medical intervention and adherence to the doctor's treatment recommendations.
