Cervical ectropion occurs when eversion of the endocervix exposes columnar epithelium.
The everted epithelium has a red, shiny appearance around the os and may bleed easily.
Ectropion is common in adolescents, pregnant patients, or those taking estrogencontaining contraceptives.
Ectropion is not an abnormality, but because it is indistinguishable from early cervical carcinoma, further diagnostic studies
