Most people who suffer from cervical polyps can initially detect them through a naked-eye observation. Generally, during a gynecological examination, when a speculum is used to open the vagina, a fresh red, tongue-like growth that looks like a protrusion can be seen at the cervical opening. This is likely a cervical polyp. However, by visual observation alone, it's only possible to recognize it as a polyp, without distinguishing whether it's caused by inflammatory stimulation, or if it’s due to cellular changes such as cervical cancer or endometrial cancer. Because malignant changes can also appear similar to ordinary cervical polyps, it's necessary to surgically remove the polyp when detected and conduct a pathological examination to determine whether it is a benign or malignant lesion.
