So I Have A Medium-size Growth On My Uvula .

You should get it surgically removed.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. From the attached image, the small growth near the base of the uvula seems to be a benign wart-like growth.
2. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice if these growths are causing symptoms.
3. Avoid cutting the growth, on your own, even if it has a narrow stalk. The soft palate and uvula can swell considerably after handling during procedures. Swelling and inflammation in this area are very painful.
4. For surgical removal, a variety of instruments are available. Cautery, radiofrequency and co-ablation are safe and can also control bleeding.
5. HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) swabs can be done. These may be associated with such lesions.
I hope that I have answered your question.
If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
Regards
