A cockscomb cervix is a condition whereby the edge of the cervix is shaped (loosely) like a rooster’s comb.
This cervical modification was a common occurrence in daughters born to pregnant women who were given diethylstilbestrol (DES) in the 50s, 60s and 70s.
What a cockscomb cervix looks like
There are large folds or ridges of fibrous tissues and cervical cells on the cervix. There may be polyps lining the cervix.
Treatment and outcomes of a cockscomb cervix
A cockscomb cervix is considered a benign modification of a normal cervix, presenting no problems and not requiring treatment.
Some women with the cockscomb cervix may experience other issues due to exposure to DES, however.
