A member asked:
Is a cervical polyp the same as an ectropion on the cervix?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Those are different things. A cervical polyp is a specific piece of tissue growing off the cervix. Ectropion is a normal finding where the internal cells of the cervix are exposed to the vagina.
