Cervical polyps are small non-cancerous growths that form on the cervix. The exact cause of cervical polyps is not known. Possible causes include:
• Congestion of blood vessels in your cervix
• Infection or chronic (long-term) inflammation of your cervix
• Abnormal response to an increase in oestrogen levels.
The women most likely to develop cervical polyps are those in their 40s and 50s who have given birth to more than one child. Higher estrogen levels can also make pregnant people more susceptible to them.
Most cases of cervical polyps are not possible to prevent. However, having regular pelvic examinations and Pap smear tests should ensure that doctors can catch any polyps and treat them early on.
