N84.0: Polyp of corpus uteri
You have a bulge of the mucous membrane (polyp) in your uterus.
The uterus or womb sits in the pelvis and is pear-shaped. The narrower part extends downward into the vagina and is called the cervix. When a woman is pregnant, the child grows in her uterus.
The uterus is lined with mucous membrane. The mucous membrane is made up of many individual building blocks. These building blocks are called cells. The cells can multiply more than usual for a number of different reasons. If the cells multiply, the mucosal lining can protrude inwards at that point.
A bulge of the mucous membrane (polyp) in your uterus can cause a range of symptoms. It may affect your periods. More fluid is sometimes discharged from the vagina. You may possibly experience pain. In a lot of cases, a bulge of the mucous membrane does not cause any symptoms at all.
