Uterine polyp

Sometimes a small elongated growth appears on the uterine mucosa or cervix, which is usually painless and non-cancerous, but its presence can cause heavy menstruation, bleeding outside menstruation, and pain during intercourse or gynaecological examinations. Undetected polyps can also complicate attempts to conceive, or cause repeated miscarriages. To exclude potential malignancy, a histopathological examination is performed.
