Should cervical polyps be removed after menopause?

After menopause, cervical polyps need to be removed. If they are not removed, infection may occur, and a small number of them may become malignant. The details are as follows:

1. Infection: After menopause, the ovaries atrophy, the level of sex hormones decreases, and the endometrium no longer undergoes cyclical changes, which means that menstruation will no longer occur. However, once cervical polyps are formed, they will not disappear naturally due to menopause. If they are not removed, infection may occur, resulting in increased secretions and odor. If they rupture, it will cause vaginal bleeding, affecting your health.

2. Malignant transformation: Although most cervical polyps are benign, a small number of them will undergo malignant transformation. The abnormal proliferation of cells will not only invade the cervix, but if not treated in time, it will also spread to other tissues and organs, endangering life.

Even after menopause, cervical polyps need to be removed if found to avoid serious consequences. The removal of cervical polyps is relatively simple and does not cause much damage, so there is no need to be too nervous.
