Uterine polyp

A small oblong growth sometimes appears on the endometrium or cervix; in most cases it is painless and benign, but it can cause heavy menstruation, bleeding outside menstruation, and pain during intercourse or during a gynaecological examination. Undetected polyps can also complicate efforts to conceive, or cause repeated miscarriages. Histopathology is used to reliably rule out potential malignancy.
