Is it painful to remove cervical polyps?

Cervical polyps usually do not cause pain, but if there is friction, infection or other diseases, it may cause discomfort. You need to see a doctor promptly to confirm the condition.

Cervical polyps are benign growths of tissue on the surface of the cervix or in the cervical canal that are shaped like "small tumors". Their formation is usually related to chronic inflammation, hormone level fluctuations, or long-term irritation of the cervix. In most cases, polyps are small and located in a special position, and will not significantly affect daily life.

If the polyp is enlarged or in a position that is prone to friction, it may cause symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, bloody discharge, or contact bleeding after sexual intercourse. If an infection occurs, it may also cause odor or mild lower abdominal discomfort, which should not be ignored.

You should pay attention to personal hygiene and have regular physical examinations, especially if you have abnormal secretions or bleeding. If the doctor assesses that the polyp has a risk of malignancy or affects your life, you can solve the problem by removing it surgically, which has low risks and quick recovery.
