Usually, cervical polyps do not cause any symptoms, but some cause vaginal bleeding or a pus-like discharge.

 Doctors can usually diagnose cervical polyps during a pelvic examination.

About 2 to 5% of women have cervical polyps. They may be caused by chronic inflammation or infection.

Symptoms:

 Most cervical polyps do not cause any symptoms.

 Some polyps cause bleeding between menstrual periods or after sexual activity.

 Rarely, polyps become infected, causing a puslike discharge from the vagina.

Diagnosis:

 Pelvic examination

 Additional investigations like colposcopy or Pelvic ultrasound can be suggested depending on your symptoms and clinical presentation.

Treatment:

 Removal of Polyps and laboratory (histopathology) examination to confirm that they are not cancerous.

 Polyp of Endometrium (Lining of the womb)

 Endometrial polyps are usually benign (not cancerous) and often cause no symptoms (are asymptomatic).

 Endometrial polyps are overgrowth of cells from the uterine lining. They contain glands, connective tissues, and blood vessels.

 Endometrial polyps are most common in people aged 40 to 49 and rare in those under 20.

Risk Factors associated with polyp formation:

 Being overweight

 Taking tamoxifen

 Taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medications

 Having Lynch syndrome (an inherited condition that increases the risks of colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer)

 Having Cowden syndrome (a rare inherited condition that increases the risk of endometrial cancer)
