Cervical polyp

Cervical polyps are small, soft, growths that protrude from the mouth of the cervix. These small, fragile growths hang from a stalk and push through the cervical opening. Women of any age may have cervical polyps. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) and is often called the neck of the womb Cervical polyps are smooth, red, fingerlike growths in the passage extending from the uterus to the vagina (cervical canal). Cervical polyp can be associated with Chronic inflammation, increase estrogen levels that the body does not respond well with, or local congestion of cervical blood vessles. Polyps are very rarely cancer, and they seldom develop into cancer of the cervix. However, we can be sure that a polyp is a benign polyp only by removing it and looking at the tissue in the lab. Small, fragile, bulbous growths on stalks protruding through the cervix (lower third of the uterus) from the lining inside the uterus (endometrium). They may be single or numerous. The cervix is the opening between the vagina and the uterus. Your cervix can be seen when you have a pap smear and can be felt when you have an internal examination by a doctor or nurse.Cervical polyps are very common. They occur most often during pregnancy (because of hormonal changes). You may have 1 polyp or several. In some cases, cervical polyps can block the cervix and cause problems getting pregnant.
