Do cervical polyps mean I have cervical cancer?

There is a relationship between cervical cancer and polyps, BUT, many women have benign polyps that are not cancerous.

Almost all polyps are non-cancerous, but some polyps will develop into cervical cancer, so all should be examined. A doctor can check you for polyps during your regularly yearly gynecological exam. Sometimes they will remove them at the same time, other times they will be left alone.

Any time you have abnormal bleeding or discharge that is not related to your period, you should also see a doctor.
