Cervical Polyp Treatment in Busan, Korea

Cervical polyps are small, non-cancerous growths that develop on the surface of the cervix. They are commonly found during routine gynecological examinations and are usually benign. While many women have no symptoms, some cervical polyps can cause irregular bleeding, bleeding after intercourse, or unusual vaginal discharge.

At Seomyeon Glory Women's Clinic, our experienced English-speaking OBGYN specialists provide thorough evaluation and safe treatment for cervical polyps using modern diagnostic techniques. We offer individualized care to relieve symptoms, rule out more serious conditions, and protect your long-term reproductive health.

What Are Cervical Polyps?

Cervical polyps are soft, finger-like growths that develop from the tissue of the cervix.

Most cervical polyps are:

• Benign (non-cancerous)
• Small in size
• Slow-growing
• Easily treated
• Found during routine pelvic examinations

Although cervical polyps rarely become cancerous, they should be evaluated and, when appropriate, removed for examination.

Symptoms of Cervical Polyps

Many cervical polyps cause no symptoms.

When symptoms occur, they may include:

• Bleeding after sexual intercourse
• Spotting between menstrual periods
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Bleeding after menopause
• Vaginal discharge
• Irregular vaginal bleeding
• Light bleeding after a pelvic examination

Any unexplained vaginal bleeding should be evaluated by an OBGYN.

What Causes Cervical Polyps?

The exact cause is not always known, but cervical polyps may be associated with:

• Chronic inflammation of the cervix
• Hormonal changes
• Chronic cervical irritation
• Infection
• Increased estrogen levels
• Blocked cervical blood vessels

They are most commonly diagnosed in women over the age of 20 who have had one or more pregnancies.

How Are Cervical Polyps Diagnosed?

Your evaluation may include:

• Medical history review
• Symptom assessment
• Pelvic examination
• Speculum examination
• Pap smear
• HPV testing when appropriate
• Colposcopy if indicated
• Biopsy after removal when necessary

Most cervical polyps can be identified during a routine pelvic examination.

Treatment for Cervical Polyps

Treatment depends on the size of the polyp, your symptoms, and examination findings.

Treatment options may include:

• Observation for small asymptomatic polyps
• Simple cervical polyp removal in the clinic
• Laboratory examination of removed tissue
• Treatment of associated cervical infection if present
• Follow-up cervical examination
• Routine cervical cancer screening

Most cervical polyps can be removed quickly during an outpatient visit with minimal discomfort.

Can Cervical Polyps Affect Fertility?

Most cervical polyps do not affect fertility.

However, very large polyps or multiple polyps may occasionally interfere with the cervical canal. If you are planning pregnancy, your OBGYN will discuss whether removal is recommended based on your individual circumstances.
