ICD-Code N84.2: Polyp of vagina
You have a bulge of the mucous membrane (polyp) in your vagina.
The vagina leads outward from the uterus.
The uterus and the vagina have a mucosal lining. 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 vagina can cause a range of symptoms. 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.
