What is the removal of the uterine polyp?
The removal of the uterine polyp is a surgery performed to remove polyps that developed on the uterus lining. Depending on the size of the polyp and whether benign, the doctor may use one of several different operations. Removing the uterine polyp is the only way to alleviate the symptoms caused by polyp. In this routine surgery, the cervix is expanded, allowing doctors to access the uterus. A sharp tool is inserted into the uterus and the uterus polyp is removed. This procedure is often used to collect a polyp sample to be biopic to see if the polyp is benign. In some cases, such as the presence of only one polyp or a series of very small polyp, they can be completely removed during the dilatation and kyreta procedure.
The uterine benign polyps can also be removed with a hysteroscope. This device is inserted into the uterus, agapo dilatation of the cervix and allows the doctor to see in the uterus to remove polyps. Specialized tools for cutting out polyps mbe inserted into the uterus with a hysteroscope. It may be necessary for this procedure to do more than once, as uterine polyps often grow back.
Sometimes the physician will have to perform a hysterectomy if the removal of the uterus polyp is not sufficient. This surgery, which includes complete removal of the patient's uterus, is rarely performed in women of fertile age, although women are relatively common in menopause age. It may be necessary to perform a hysterectomy if uterine polyps are malignant. This procedure, if the cancer is contained in the uterus, generally cures the patient, although the physician may recommend other cancer treatment.
For the vast majority of women, the uterine polyp removal is a simple procedure that is done quickly. The patient is not subjected to general anesthesia for hysteroscopy or dilation and kyrettage, and these procedures generally do not affect the reproductive capacity of the woman. The patient is able to leave the clinic or hospital right afterone of these procedures. Patients who require hystectomy must remain in the hospital longer and may expect longer recovery.
