About

Ablation of the cervical polyp is a medical procedure that involves the removal of a polyp that forms on the cervix, usually due to tissue proliferation. 

Candidate

Candidates for the ablation of the cervical polyp are usually women who have symptoms such as unexplained bleeding, pain, or discomfort in the pelvic or cervical area. Polyps can be detected during routine examinations or diagnostic tests such as a gynecological examination or ultrasound.

Preparation

Before the ablation of the cervical polyp, the doctor will conduct a thorough assessment of the patient's medical history and symptoms and perform appropriate examinations to determine the need for this procedure. In some cases, there may be a need to restrict food or fluid intake before the procedure.

Treatment

Ablation of the cervical polyp is usually performed on an outpatient basis and involves the removal of the polyp using specialized instruments. The procedure is typically performed quickly, and the patient can be discharged on the same day. After the polyp is removed, histological analysis may be performed to determine the nature of the polyp and exclude the possibility of the presence of abnormal cells.

Result

After the ablation of the cervical polyp, patients usually experience relief from symptoms such as bleeding or discomfort in the cervical area. Histological results can also provide important information about the nature of the polyp and rule out the presence of any pathological changes.

Precautions

After the procedure, it is important to follow the doctor's instructions for postoperative care. This may include avoiding strenuous activities or sexual intercourse for a while to ensure proper healing of the cervix. Regular check-ups are also important to ensure that there are no complications or recurrence of the polyp.
