Cervical Polyp Removal
For many women, the journey of gynecological health occasionally encounters obstacles, and cervical polyps are a prevalent concern that can contribute to discomfort. These small, fleshy growths on the cervix can cause symptoms such as abnormal bleeding or pelvic pain, prompting the consideration of cervical polyp removal in Dubai.
Our cervical polyp removal treatment offers a path to relief, addressing these concerns with precision and care.
What are Cervical Polyps?
Cervical polyps are growths on the cervix, the lower part of the uterus c to the connecting vagina. These polyps are typically small, finger-like or elongated projections that can vary in size.
There are two main types of cervical polyps:
- Ectocervical polyps: Polyps that develop on the outermost layer of your cervix.
- Endocervical polyps: Polyps that grow in your cervical canal. These are more common.
What are the Symptoms of Cervical Polyps?
Cervical polyps often do not cause noticeable symptoms, but when they do, the following may occur:
How are Cervical Polyps Diagnosed?
A cervical polyp is usually diagnosed during a Pelvic exam or Pap test. This helps identify any abnormal cells and contributes to the overall assessment.
In some cases, an ultrasound may be ordered to assess the area around the cervical polyp. This imaging technique provides a more detailed view of the uterus and cervix.
A cervical tissue biopsy may be performed to determine if the polyp is malignant. It’s rare for a cervical polyp to be malignant (cancerous).
How are Cervical Polyps Removed?
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia to minimize discomfort during the process.
Depending on the characteristics of the polyp, various techniques may be used for cervical polyp removal in Dubai:
- Twisting: This method involves manually twisting the polyp to remove it from its base using forceps.
- Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP): This is a surgical method that uses a thin wire loop heated by an electric current to burn the polyp from the surface of your cervix.
- You can expect to feel mild cramping and light bleeding after removal. Using an OTC pain reliever like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help.
- You shouldn’t have sex or wear tampons for at least two weeks or until the bleeding has subsided.
Extracting polyps is a straightforward, secure, and minimally invasive procedure. However, if you’ve ever had polyps, you’re at increased risk of developing them again. Regular pelvic exams are crucial for early detection of any new growth.
