What is the difference between a cervical polyp and a tumor?

The difference between cervical polyps and tumors is mainly reflected in the different nature and different clinical manifestations. 1. Nature: polyps are mostly caused by inflammation stimulation, forming small benign lesions; while tumors are mostly related to viral infections, usually occupying a large area, and the surface often shows cauliflower pattern or mycotic erosion. 2. Clinical manifestations: if polyps are caused by inflammation, they may have the typical symptoms of inflammation, such as redness, swelling, heat and pain; while tumors may cause abnormal vaginal bleeding, cervical pain, or even metastasize to the surrounding organs, such as ovary, bladder, rectum and so on, which may cause symptoms in the corresponding organs. Women should consult a doctor in time if they experience unexplained abnormal vaginal bleeding, prolonged menstruation and other symptoms.
