Tests and diagnosis
By Mayo Clinic staffA history of your signs and symptoms and a pelvic examination is usually sufficient to make a diagnosis. Your doctor may take a swab of your cervix to test for an accompanying sexually transmitted infection, which may need additional treatment with antibiotics.
If you're postmenopausal or older than 40, your doctor may perform a biopsy of the mass to rule out a possibility of cancer. If cancer is a concern, your doctor may refer you to an obstetrician-gynecologist who specializes in cancers of the female reproductive system.
