- Vaginal discharge
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding

Sometimes a secretion can occur due to a polyp (cervix) on the neck of the womb. A polyp is a small fleshy lump. They can usually be seen when your doctor or nurse examines you.

This is called ectopy (or ectropion). It is not severe and often does not require any treatment.
