Small, cystic, yellow lesions on the cervical surface indicate nabothian cysts. Nabothian cysts are benign and result from obstruction of the cervical glands. A bright red, soft protrusion through the cervical os indicates a cervical polyp and is abnormal. Hemorrhagic spots on the surface of the cervix (strawberry spots) are seen in conjunction with trichomonal infections. A reddish circle around the os may be abnormal and is known as ectropion or eversion. It occurs when the squamocolumnar junction appears on the ectocervix. It results from lacerations during childbirth or congenital variation.
