Cervical polyps, also called endocervical polyps, are a growth of tissue in the cervix. The cervix is the neck of the uterus which opens into the vagina. Women of any age may have cervical polyps.
Polyps are very rarely cancer, and they seldom develop into cancer of the cervix. However, we can be sure that a polyp is a benign polyp only by removing it and looking at the tissue in the lab.
Most cervical polyps are discovered during routine pelvic exams. To confirm that a polyp is benign, your health care provider will do a biopsy. This means he or she will remove the polyp with a small sharp instrument. Your provider may scrape the base of the polyp to make sure all of the polyp is removed. He or she may put a type of paste on the cervix to control any bleeding . The tissue removed will be sent to a lab to be viewed under a microscope. The biopsy can usually be done in your health care provider's office.

These are due to proliferation of blood vessels and strom underneath the cervical epithelium. The person may have also endmoetrial polyps. These are not true polyps and are not cancers. These are caused by relatively higher estrogen hormone than the progestrone hormone.

They are mostly harmless I think but there might be some danger of them turning into tumors I think.
