Question
I found a tender pink flesh tag inside the vagina, shaped like a small tongue and the size of a small watermelon seed. How can I seek assistance, and is it possible that it’s a hymen?
Answer
The described condition could be cervical polyps, which are usually caused by chronic cervicitis. Cervical polyps can be categorized into two types: one located at the cervical os or within the cervical canal, and another occurring in the vaginal part of the cervix. Polyps often require surgical removal and a pathological examination to rule out the risk of malignancy. Even after removal, regular follow-ups are necessary as inflammation may lead to the recurrence of polyps. If pain is present, it is advisable to undergo examination; if there is no pain, it may be a vaginal polyp. Wishing you good health.
