What does it mean when the cervix is not smooth?

If the cervical surface is not smooth during the gynecological examination, it is possible that the cervical surface may be superfluous, such as a nuchal cyst or a cervical polyp, which can make the cervical surface appear less smooth. In addition, if the surface of the cervix is not smooth, it also means that there may be cervical erosion, but cervical erosion is a normal physiological phenomenon, not a pathological phenomenon, and there are often no clinical symptoms, so it does not need to be treated. If there are localized polyps in the cervix, it is advisable to remove the polyps and send them for pathological tests when the menstrual period is 3-7 days clean and the routine leucorrhea test is normal. It is also recommended that women should be screened for cervical cancer once a year, even if they are not in any discomfort. A smooth cervix does not necessarily mean that the cervix is free of lesions, so screening should always be done.
