Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

Cervical polyps can grow quite large during pregnancy and it is not unusual, especially in late pregnancy, for them to protrude out of the vagina.

Unfortunately, cervical polyps can bleed heavily if removal is attempted during pregnancy. However, because yours is so long and is already protruding from the vagina it might be prudent for your obstetrician to attempt to remove it.

I have performed such a procedure on two patients such as yourself by using suture material to tie off the base of the polyp and taking off the end part that is protruding from the vagina.

For now, there is nothing that needs to be done about the polyp. It will not harm your baby, however it might get torn or damaged during birth, so I suggest you call your OB provider and discuss the issue with them. The polyp will not go away by itself; so it would be in your best interest to probably have at least part of it removed, so that it does not protrude any longer from the vagina.

I hope I was able to adequately answer your questions today and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy,

Dr. Brown.
