Hello,

It is very hard to say without examining you. It is possible that it is a wart but there are other things that it could be. A wart would feel firm and hard, not squishy.

The way you are describing what you are feeling sounds more like a cervical polyp, which are typically benign fleshy growths.

You can also develop nabothian cysts on the cervix, which are like pimples.

I would recommend that you see your ob/gyn for an exam so that they can accurately diagnose what you are feeling.

Feel free to ask any follow up questions you may have.

Thanks for the quick answer. I have been in a committed relationship for the past six years. I have read so much on the internet as to what this could be, and that fact that warts can take months even years to show up. That is what freaked me out. i was also just in for a pelvic exam and everything was OK. But the bump is definitly squishy and moveable, not hard or rough in texture.

It really does not sound like a wart. I understand your worry. The internet is a dangerous sea of information :)
I suspect it is a polyp.
But have your ob/gyn take a look.
