What are the reasons for recurrent cervical polyps after surgery?

There may be multiple reasons for recurrent cervical polyps after surgery. Incomplete treatment—such as failure to completely remove the cervical polyp during surgery, especially smaller polyps or those deeply embedded within the cervix—can lead to regrowth of residual tissue and recurrence. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as long-term smoking and irregular sleep patterns, may damage cervical tissues and increase the risk of recurrence. Additionally, immune system abnormalities or chronic cervicitis may make the cervix more susceptible to external pathogens, thereby triggering repeated polyp formation. Failure to promptly administer postoperative anti-infective treatment or inadequate preventive measures may also contribute to the reoccurrence of cervical polyps. After surgery, patients should maintain healthy lifestyle habits, actively manage underlying conditions, and undergo regular follow-up examinations to reduce the risk of recurrence.
