Women with asymptomatic cervical polyps may not need to see a gynaecologist or have them removed: an observational retrospective study of 1126 cases (original) (raw)

Cervical polyps, common lesions in women, often prompt the belief that they should all be removed and examined for malignancy. This observational retrospective study analyzed 1126 cases of cervical polyps to determine the necessity of gynecological referral and removal of asymptomatic polyps. Findings revealed that all but two polyps were benign, suggesting that only symptomatic cases or those with abnormal smears require intervention, leading to significant cost savings and minimizing unnecessary procedures.
