The causes of cervical polyps are mostly due to chronic inflammation of the cervix, which stimulates the local hyperplasia of the cervical tissue. They appear as polypoid hyperplasias in the cervical canal or at the cervical opening. The main symptoms include an increase in vaginal discharge or bleeding after sexual intercourse. During a gynecological examination, polyp-like tissues can be seen at the cervical opening. Cervical polyps are relatively easy to treat. They can be removed using radiofrequency or laser. After removal, the base of the polyp is cauterized using these physical therapy methods to generally prevent recurrence.
