Cervical Polyp Removal in Windhoek

About this service

Cervical polyp removal in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic is a simple in-rooms procedure to remove a small, usually benign growth from the cervix. Cervical polyps can sometimes cause spotting between periods, bleeding after intercourse, or unusual discharge, though many are found incidentally during a routine examination. Your doctor will examine the cervix in our rooms and, if a polyp is suitable for straightforward removal, will remove it during the same visit in most cases.

The sample is generally sent for laboratory confirmation to make sure everything looks as expected. Book a consultation if you have noticed unusual bleeding or discharge, or if a polyp has already been identified.

• An in-rooms examination to view and assess the polyp
