Abstract
Cervical polyps consist of mucous glands in a connective tissue stroma covered by columnar or squamous epithelium. They appear as cherry-red swellings, usually arising within the canal, and can cause discharge and bleeding. They can be removed by excision or avulsion with diathermy to the base; the operation should be performed under general anaesthesia.
