One woman discovered a cervical polyp upon examination of her cervix. She had been having irregular cycles, but had no symptoms of the polyp.
She had given birth six years ago.
She has since had the polyp removed. Stay tuned for that photo.

Had 3 Nabothian cysts
[aka nabothian follicles, mucinous retention cysts, or epithelial inclusion cysts, see wiki] noticed this year by my doctor during a pap smear. A pelvic ultrasound, minor surgery with a scope and biopsy followed. 2 inside the womb past the cervix were slightly painful to remove but bleeding finished after 4 days. Usually harmless, biopsy all clear.

My doctor said any abnormalities on the cervix is considered disease and requires removal of the cervix. I have always wondered whether that was really true. Reading this I suspect it was not. This woman did not require removal, it appears. I will be interested in reading about the experiences of other women.

I had a polyp removed from my cervix in the doctor’s office when it was found during a routine examination. Biopsy was clear an no further intervention was necessary.

Thank you so much for these pictures! I’ve definately have a much better understanding of everything.
Please let me know if you would like pictures of a cervix throughout a cycle of a woman who has had the Leep procedure done for pre-cancerous cervical cells.
I’d love to help out!

I have a polyp on my cervix. It is on the donut itself (as opposed to in the center like this one), and it is orange. My midwife said she could grab it and twist it off, or it would come off with a future labor. Or I could leave it. Polyps are often a result of hormonal imbalance so fixing that could make it go away. I am close to menopause, so not surprising that this is going on. Never had an abnormal pap though.

You are doing a wonderful job, I have a question that have been on my mind, Can you findout if women with 2 vaginas can have 2 circles.

I have a cervical polyp, also attached to the donut (unlike the photo, similar to Maria who commented)– it balloons from a limp sack the size of a spoon head, to a water-balloon inflated to not-quite-firm. I’ve birthed with it twice, and it is always rather limp and small during the second half of pregnancy.
