Introduction
Uterine polyps are growths attached to the inner wall of the cervical canal, extending into the uterine cavity or vagina, and can be removed surgically. If surgery is required, it is recommended to go to a正规 hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure safety. After the procedure, get plenty of rest, avoid strenuous exercise in the short term, and abstain from sexual intercourse to promote proper recovery.
Generally, uterine polyps are growths attached to the inner wall of the cervical canal that extend into the uterine cavity and vagina. If symptoms occur, surgical removal may be recommended. The specific procedure is as follows:
1. After anesthesia, the patient is placed in the lithotomy position, followed by routine disinfection and draping.
2. A speculum is inserted to dilate the vagina, fully exposing the cervix, which is then disinfected and stabilized.
3. A probe is used to determine the direction and depth of the cervix, followed by gradual dilation of the cervical opening using dilators until the hysteroscope can pass through.
4. The hysteroscope and its resecting loop are inserted through the cervical opening, and a distension medium is infused into the uterine cavity.
5. Once the uterus is adequately expanded, under hysteroscopic guidance, the endometrial polyp is excised and hemostasis is performed.
6. After confirming no abnormalities, the surgical instruments are withdrawn, completing the procedure.
Adequate rest is recommended post-surgery. Strenuous physical activity and sexual intercourse should be avoided for a short period to promote recovery. If this procedure is needed, it is advisable to visit a reputable hospital and undergo the surgery under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure safety.
