Cervical Ectropion: Condition Workup


Listen Later

In this gynaecology series, we explore Cervical Ectropion (also known as cervical ectopy): causes, clinical features, diagnosis, and management.

🧬 Understand the pathophysiology – eversion of the endocervical columnar epithelium onto the ectocervix, often hormone-related.
⚠️ Identify common causes – pregnancy, combined oral contraceptive pills, and puberty due to increased estrogen levels.
🩸 Recognize key symptoms – postcoital bleeding, increased vaginal discharge, or asymptomatic findings on cervical screening.
🧪 Learn diagnostic steps – speculum exam, cervical screening (smear test), and colposcopy when indicated.
🧑‍⚕️ Review management options – reassurance, cauterisation (if symptomatic), and when to refer.

🎧 Ideal for medical students, junior doctors, and anyone interested in women’s health and reproductive medicine.
