What is Cervical Polyp?
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.
Typical Symptoms of Cervical Polyp
Feeling that my uterus has dropped down, or something is coming out of the vagina
Bleeding in between menstrual cycles / periods or after menopause
Bleeding during or after sexual intercourse
Abnormal period length or flow
