Content updated on Oct 10, 2023
A cervical polyp is a growth on the cervix (outlet of the womb). Most often they are benign (not cancer) and do not cause problems. Occasionally they can cause vaginal discharge, abnormal bleeding with menstruation or bleeding after sex (post-coital bleeding). Rarely can they be cancerous, and this risk goes up with age. They are typically diagnosed during a pelvic examination or with an ultrasound of your uterus.
The polyps can be removed with a simple procedure or surgery. Further testing will be done to check if they are cancerous or not. Polyps do not resolve on their own.
