Pregnancy-related cervical polyps should be treated based on the presence or absence of symptoms. Cervical polyps rarely become malignant; if there is no bleeding during pregnancy, treatment is generally unnecessary. However, if the cervical polyp causes bleeding, it should be removed. Because bleeding is more likely during pregnancy, surgical procedures should be avoided as much as possible. If a cervical polyp is actively bleeding, it should be excised. The pedicle of the polyp is grasped with a hemostat, and the polyp is completely removed by rotating the instrument several times.
