Using laser to remove polyps

After polyps appear, some patients may want to try laser polyp removal. Laser can treat polyps, but there are many types of polyps. Polyps in different locations and sizes require different treatment methods. This does not mean that laser can treat all polyps. After becoming ill, you should find out your condition and go to a regular hospital to receive appropriate treatment.

If you go to the hospital for a diagnosis, and the doctor thinks that the patient has polyps, this can be completely treated with laser. The treatment principle is mainly through the high energy of the laser. It is best to go to a professional and regular hospital for laser polyp treatment. This will be more professional, safer, and the pain will be relatively lighter.

Does it hurt to remove polyps with laser? In most cases, there will be a little pain when performing laser treatment for polyps, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as everyone imagines. I don’t know which polyp you want to treat. If it is in the gastrointestinal tract, you can use an electric knife to remove it, and you can also use painless technology. In this way, there will be no pain at all and no bleeding. But if it is a gynecological polyp, you may generally feel a little pain, but don’t worry, it’s not that uncomfortable. In addition, if polyps are treated with laser, the treatment method adopted by the doctor will be different depending on the location of the lesion. Before laser treatment of polyps, the doctor will implement corresponding pain relief techniques on the affected area. As long as you can actively cooperate with the treatment according to the doctor's instructions, there will not be too much pain.

Endoscopic (gastroscopy, colonoscopy) resection of polyps is a very effective measure to prevent them from becoming cancerous. Currently, the methods for endoscopic treatment of polyps include: high-frequency electrocoagulation and electroresection, high-frequency electrocautery, laser therapy, microwave therapy, cryotherapy, etc.
