Will cervical polyps recur after hysteroscopic surgery?

After hysteroscopic surgery for endocervical polyps, there remains a possibility of recurrence. This recurrence is associated with multiple factors, including the completeness of the surgical procedure, the nature of the lesion, and the patient's lifestyle habits. If the polyp has a deep base that was not completely removed during surgery, or if the polyp is inherently multiple in nature, the risk of recurrence increases. To reduce the risk of recurrence, patients should maintain good genital hygiene after surgery, avoid unhealthy sexual practices or overuse of vaginal douching agents, and undergo regular follow-up examinations at the hospital. In cases of recurrent polyps, application of silver nitrate solution or trichloroacetic acid solution to cauterize the base after polypectomy may be considered to achieve complete eradication. Physical therapies such as microwave or laser treatment can also serve as adjunctive therapeutic options. Although there is a risk of recurrence following hysteroscopic surgery for endocervical polyps, this risk can be effectively reduced through appropriate treatment and proper daily care. Patients experiencing concerns or recurring symptoms should seek medical advice promptly.
