Cervical polyps – symptoms
The cervix is a channel that connects the uterus and the vagina. Sometimes on its mucous membrane there are neoplasms – polyps, which partially close the lumen. The etiology of the disease is not completely clarified. Among the possible causes are hormonal disorders, infections and trauma, including erosion.
Most often consist of mucous or fibrous tissue. Also distinguish atypical forms, which are considered the most dangerous and require careful examination. They can lead to difficulties with conception, problems with carrying a pregnancy and the risk of malignisation (malignant degeneration).
Among the main symptoms are:
- menstrual irregularities;
- bleeding after intercourse;
- pulling pains in the lower abdomen.
Since these manifestations are characteristic of other gynaecological diseases, only a doctor can establish a diagnosis after admission and research.
Diagnosis and methods of therapy
To confirm the diagnosis requires:
- Examination of the gynaecologist;
- ultrasound of the pelvic organs;
- colposcopy – examination with a special microscope with a magnification of up to 40 times;
- hysteroscopy – visual assessment of the uterine cavity;
- cervicoscopy – examination of the cervical canal.
To clarify the nature of the neoplasm, a histological study of a tissue sample is performed.
Conservative approach is ineffective. Sometimes hormonal therapy is used to prevent recurrences after removal. Methods include:
- conventional polypectomy with electrocautery cauterisation;
- cryodestruction (removal with liquid nitrogen);
- laser removal (the most minimally traumatic method);
- electric knife removal;
- radio wave destruction;
- cauterisation with the drug Solkovagin.
The choice of method depends on the size, number, structure and location of neoplasms.
Treatment in Israel
In medical centres in Israel, equipped with modern equipment, treatment of cervical polyps is very successful. Most procedures are performed minimally invasive methods, which allows you to reduce the recovery time and minimise risks.
The cost depends on the volume of diagnostic procedures, the severity of the condition and the chosen method of therapy. In Israel, prices for medical services are often lower than in Germany, France and the USA, and are comparable to the cost in private clinics in Ukraine. At the same time, the quality is much higher due to the high qualification of doctors and advanced technologies.
