Cervical polyps are benign fleshy growths arising from the cervical canal or ectocervix, causing intermenstrual bleeding, post-coital spotting, or vaginal discharge. Removal is simple, quick, and in most cases requires no anaesthesia. India offers this procedure at minimal cost with rapid histopathological confirmation at NABH-accredited facilities.
What Is Cervical Polyp Removal?
Cervical polyp removal involves avulsion (twisting off) or hysteroscopic resection of the polyp. Endocervical polyps with a visible pedicle are avulsed by grasping the polyp with ring forceps and rotating it until the pedicle breaks. Sessile polyps or polyps arising from within the uterine cavity are best removed hysteroscopically under direct vision. All removed polyps are sent for histopathology to exclude the rare possibility of malignancy.
Who Needs Cervical Polyp Removal?
Women with visualised cervical polyps on speculum examination, particularly when causing intermenstrual bleeding, post-coital bleeding, or discharge. Polyps found incidentally during cervical smear examination should also be removed and sent for histopathology.
Cervical Polyp Removal Procedure
A speculum is inserted and the cervix visualised. The polyp is grasped with ring forceps or polyp forceps and avulsed by rotating the forceps in a consistent direction until the pedicle separates. Minimal bleeding follows — Monsel's solution or silver nitrate stick controls any oozing. The polyp is preserved in formalin for histopathology. The procedure takes 2–5 minutes.
Procedure Steps
- Speculum inserted — polyp visualised
- Ring forceps applied to the polyp base
- Polyp avulsed by twisting motion
- Monsel's solution applied for haemostasis
- Polyp preserved in formalin — sent for histopathology
- Patient observed for 15 minutes

Recovery Tips
- Mild spotting is expected for 1–2 days
- Histopathology results available in 5–7 days — review via telemedicine
- Cervical smear at 6 months confirms complete removal
Risks & Complications
Cervical polyp removal is very safe. Rare complications include haemorrhage (<1%), vasovagal syncope, and incomplete removal of large polyps requiring hysteroscopic completion.
Why GAF Healthcare
Gaf Healthcare provides same-day polyp removal at women's health clinics across India and UAE, with rapid histopathology turnaround ensuring results are available before international patients return home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are cervical polyps cancerous?
The vast majority (>99%) of cervical polyps are benign. Malignant change is rare but all polyps are sent for histopathology to exclude it.
Will the polyp grow back?
Cervical polyps recur in approximately 10–15% of women. If recurring, investigation for underlying hormonal causes (HRT, oestrogen excess) is recommended.
Can cervical polyp removal be done during a smear test?
Yes — if a polyp is discovered during a routine smear, it can be removed at the same appointment by the gynaecologist.
Is anaesthesia needed to remove a cervical polyp?
No — the vast majority are removed without anaesthesia in 2–5 minutes. Mild cramping occurs briefly during avulsion. Large or sessile polyps may require hysteroscopic removal under sedation.
How long after polyp removal before my bleeding symptoms improve?
Post-coital and intermenstrual bleeding caused by a cervical polyp resolves immediately after removal.
