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
