Cervical polyps have no known cause and are usually benign. Malignant polyps occur in one in a thousand women, and are more common in those who are nearing or past menopause.1
Symptoms of cervical polyps
- Bleeding after sex
- Bleeding between periods
- Bleeding in menopause
- Usually found during a routine examination
- No symptoms
A physician will test your polyp to see if it is indeed a polyp by pushing and pulling it around in four directions with a swab. This differentiates it from other polyp-like conditions of the cervix.
Treatment of cervical polyps
If a polyp is less than 5mm in diameter, it doesn’t need to be removed, but it will need monitoring.2 Polyps larger than this should be checked out and, if necessary, removed by a surgeon or gynaecologist, which is straightforward. 2
