Can cervical polyps be detected by ultrasound?
Cervical polyps are generally detected through gynecological examinations and colposcopies, but are usually not visible on ultrasound. Endometrial polyps can be detected via ultrasound if there is uneven echogenicity and thickening of the endometrium, which can indicate the presence of uterine endometrial polyps. Most cervical polyps are identified during a gynecological exam, where polyp-like growths on the cervix are found and can also be seen through a colposcope. Once cervical polyps are discovered, it is advisable to surgically remove them as early as possible, and the removed tissue should be sent for pathological examination. The majority of these polyps are benign, with only a very few showing tendencies of malignancy. Therefore, patients with cervical polyps should actively seek appropriate treatment. Cervical polyps are not detected on ultrasound, but submucosal polyps can be.
