Ada sedikit pengalaman saya mengenai polyp ini, dari general check-up 6 bulan
lalu, hasil pap smear saya baik-baik, tetapi dokter mengatakan ada polyp,
yang tidak berbahaya, tetapi dianjurkan untuk diambil. Tetapi karena banyak
hal kesibukan saya, saya belum sempat untuk melakukannya. Jadi saya tidak
bisa bercerita banyak tentang prosedurnya, tetapi dokter mengatakan itu
prosedur yang cukup simple, sekitar 30-45 menit.
Ini saya lampirkan artikel ttg Cervical Polyp.
semoga bermanfaat.
Definition:
Projectile growths originating from the mucosal surface of the cervix or
endocervical canal. These small, fragile growths hang from a stalk and
protrude through the cervical opening (the os).
Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
The cause of cervical polyps is not completely understood, but they are
frequently the result of infection. They may be associated with chronic
inflammation, an abnormal local response to increased levels of estrogen, or
local congestion of cervical blood vessels. Cervical polyps are relatively
common, especially in women over 20 years who have had children. Only a
single polyp is present in most cases but somettimes two or three are found.
They are rare before menarche (onset of menstrual periods).
Treatment:
Removal is typically done as a simple,
outpatient procedure. Gentle twisting of a
cervical polyp is frequently enough to remove
it, however, normally one is removed by tying
a
surgical ligature around the base and cutting
it
off. Removal of the base is done by
electrocautery or laser vaporization. Because
many polyps are infected, an antibiotic may
be
administered after the removal, either
prophylactically or with any early signs of
infection. Although most cervical polyps are
benign, the excised tissue should be sent to
a
pathologist for microscopic examination.
Expectations (prognosis):
Typically, polyps are benign and easily
removed.
Regrowth of polyps is uncommon.
Complications:
Some cervical cancers may first appear as a
polyp. Infections may occur after removal.
Calling your health care provider:
Call for an appointment with your health care
provider if you are a woman, 20 years old or
older, and have had no prior pelvic
examination
and Pap smear.
Call for an appointment with your health care
provider if you have not obtained a Pap smear
at
recommended intervals of
every year initially.
for women up to age 35 or 40: every 2 to 3
years
after having 3 negative, consecutive annual
Pap
smear tests and a single sexual partner or no
sexual partner.
every year for women over 35 or 40.
every year for women who have had multiple
sexual partners.
every year for women who are taking oral
contraceptives (birth control pills).
every 6 months for women who have a history
of
HPV (genital warts).
the frequency recommended after an abnormal
Pap
smear.
