Patient's question:
More than a week away from the period, irregular bleeding for three days.Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are one manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation and are more common in married women. Polyps originating from the cervical mucosa are covered by a layer of columnar epithelium, rich in microvessels, making them bright red, soft, and fragile. They are prone to bleeding with slight touch, often leading to infection and the formation of ulcers. Another type of polyp originates from the vaginal part of the cervix, covered by stratified squamous epithelium. Due to the predominance of fibrous connective tissue in the stroma, these polyps are light red in color, relatively tough, have a wider base, and are superficially located.
