Procedure Details
At Tricity Clinic, we follow a proper procedure that meets our patients’ requirements. We provide the best treatment from consulting to post-treatment care. Here are our procedure details.
- Consultation: Your journey first starts with an initial consultation with us. The goal of this visit is for the specialist to evaluate what you currently have, go through your history and determine what is the best intervention for the polyps.
- Preparation: You’ll be instructed on how to prepare for the procedure. These recommendations may include modifications to your diet or certain medications to use.
- Procedure: First, the colon polyps are resected using a colonoscope inserted through the rectum. In the case of nasal polyps, an endoscopic polypectomy is performed using a thin endoscope inserted through the nostrils. Uterine polyps are resected using a hysteroscope, which is inserted through the vaginal canal. To ensure patients’ comfort, the procedure is carried out under anaesthesia or sedation.
- Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, you will undergo a short period of observation with us. Depending on the location of the polyps, some patients might experience mild pain or spotting, which is not severe. Our recovery team will provide you with specific recovery instructions and guidelines, which will help you heal faster.
