Overview

Cervical polyps are fingerlike growths on the lower part of the uterus that connects with the vagina (cervix)generally less than 1 cm in diameter. They are generally bright red in colour, with a spongy texture.They may be attached to the cervix by a stalk (pedunculated) and occasionally prolapse into the vagina where they can be mistaken for endometrial polyps or submucosal fibroid.
