Cervical Polyps Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Cervical polyps are small, finger-like, projections that grow from the surface of the cervix or the endocervical canal. These fragile growths hang from a stalk, pushing though the cervical os. While the cause of cervical polyps is not clear, there may be an association with chronic cervical inflammation, clogged cervical blood vessels, or an abnormal response to increased levels of estrogen.
