Abnormal growth extending from membrane of the cervix uteri.
Grapelike growths of tissue that may protrude from the opening of the cervix. Cervical polyps are very common and can appear as either a single polyp or a cluster of polyps. Sometimes cervical polyps occur as a result of injury. As the cervical tissue heals, new tissue becomes overgrown, forming polyps. In some women, hormonal changes during pregnancy stimulate the growth of polyps, which can grow up to an inch in width. The usual symptoms of polyps are bleeding during and after intercourse and/or a bloody discharge from the vagina. Some women who have polyps have no symptoms at all, and the polyps are discovered during a routine pelvic examination.
These are growths that originate from the surface of the cervix or the endocervical canal. They manifest as delicate, small growths suspended by a stalk, extending through the cervical opening, also referred to as the os.
