Gynaecology

Ablation of cervical polyps

Polyps can occur on the lining of the uterine cavity (endometrial polyp) or cervix (cervical polyp). Most of these are benign, but a definitive diagnosis can only be confirmed after removal of the polyp and histological testing.

Diagnosis

Polyps of the uterine cavity can be visualized well with ultrasound. Cervical polyps that may protrude into the vagina may be visible during a conventional gynaecological examination. The diagnosis of cervical polyps usually includes:

  • Gynecological examination.

  • Ultrasound examination.

  • Hysteroscopy, which allows the doctor to see inside the uterus and cervix.

Causes
  • Chronic inflammation.

  • Excessive proliferation of mucosal cells.

Symptoms
  • Irregular bleeding outside the menstrual cycle.

  • Pain during sexual intercourse.

  • Bleeding after intercourse.

  • Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.

  • Bleeding after menopause.

  • Bleeding between menstrual periods.

  • Vaginal discharge that may have an odour due to infection.

  • Difficulty getting pregnant.

Surgery

Hysteroscopic polyp removal is a minimally invasive procedure performed through the vagina and cervix. The procedure takes only a few minutes.
