Question

Pregnancy Polyps during pregnancy I am 8 weeks pregnant now. I have been informed that I have polyps inside my vagina. I know that it will bleed any time. Is it risky to my baby? Is it common for every pregnant woman or will it continue to grow bigger? How will it influence me and my baby?

Answer

Answered by Dr Ng Some pregnant mothers may have a cervical polyp during the first trimester. A cervical polyp is a small growth at the cervix and it is usually benign. It may cause vaginal bleeding. It rarely affects the pregnancy. The patient just needs a small and simple procedure called avulsion of polyp. This procedure is like plugging or excising the polyp. If the polyp is small then it can be done at the clinic as an outpatient procedure without any local or general anaesthesia. It takes only 1-2 minutes and causes no pain at all.
