Anesthesia during 2 trimester pregnancy
Hi
I am 13 weeks pregnant and have a cervical polyp with the size of 15mm* 11mm
I started seeing spotting from the 8th week of pregnancy and from the 10th week I started observing the polyp popping out of vagina
My doctor suggested we go for surgery to remove the polyp
But as Anesthesia needs to be given during surgery, I am a bit worried if it is safe for the baby ?
Can the polyp removal can be done without Anesthesia?
Thanks

All that I can say is that giving anaesthesia during pregnancy is not a novelty. Many women have taken it before you. Time and again a situation arises where a woman needs surgery and she can't wait for the date of delivery.

It can be done under saddle block
This is a local kind of an anaesthesia where the baby is not subjected to the medication
Not removing the polyp can lead to preterm labour pains

There are different types of anaesthesia which must have been discussed with you by your doctor. Not all anaesthesia drugs are harmful in pregnancy. It can’t be removed without anaesthesia as it will be painful.
