A member asked:

Is it best to get a small cervical polyp removed or wait to see if goes away (no signs except learned about during pap)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Rawhi Omar answered

Remove it: Cervical polyps should be removed and examined by a pathologist. They do not go away on their own.
