Patient's question:
Is a cervical polyp a tumor?Is a cervical polyp a tumor in women?
Doctor's answer:
Alright, cervical polyps are clusters formed by the localized proliferation of cervical mucosa. The causes of cervical polyps may be related to inflammation, endocrine disorders, especially excessively high estrogen levels. For example, long-term inflammation can easily lead to cervical polyps. Cervical polyps do not necessarily develop into cancer, but there is a possibility of malignancy. Cervical polyps can be treated with medication or surgery. If surgical treatment is performed to remove the polyps, pathological examination must be conducted regardless of their size to determine the nature of the polyps. Wish you health!
