Before the surgery, your doctor may ask you to do certain medical tests including blood tests and imaging tests. Blood tests are helpful to know if you are fit for the procedure.
Your doctor may prescribe certain medications that you need to take before and after the surgery. Make sure you take all the medications that need to be taken before the surgery as instructed by your doctor. In case you happen to miss any dosage, make sure you inform your doctor. You must also stock all the medications you need to take after the surgery to avoid any last-minute rush.
You may need to take local or general anesthesia before the surgery. The type of anaesthesia depends on the procedure of the surgery.
If your doctor recommends general anaesthesia, he/she may provide some instructions you need to follow before the surgery. You may also need a consultation by the anesthetist before the surgery.
Complications in the surgery
In most cases, polyps are non-cancerous. However, it is important to treat the condition as early as possible. If left untreated or if there’s a delay in the treatment, the growth can turn cancerous in some cases.
Uterine polyps may affect your fertility. These growths may prevent you from getting pregnant or cause frequent miscarriages.
It is believed that the removal of uterine polyps can be helpful for women to conceive. Though there’s not enough research supporting the claim. Follow your doctor’s advice regarding the treatment of polyps in case of infertility and for the removal of uterine polyps for any purpose.
