Patient's question:
My girlfriend has had unusually excessive white discharge for these past few months, accompanied by a strong odor. Last month, when we had intimate relations, we suddenly noticed a lot of blood coming from her vagina. The doctor said she had cervical polyps.Could you explain roughly what cervical polyps in women are?
Doctor's answer:
Most people with cervical polyps do not have obvious symptoms, making them difficult to detect and take seriously. What are cervical polyps? Excessive growths on the surface of the cervix are typically referred to as cervical polyps. They are benign tumors, usually small. Larger cervical polyps are generally a few centimeters in size, which may cause discomfort to the patient, but in most cases, they are not this large. Most patients have polyps within one centimeter.
