N84: Polyp of female genital tract

The condition referred to as Polyp of Female Genital Tract, included in the N84 group, represents a series of noncancerous growths that occur in the female reproductive system. These can be found anywhere in this system including the cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, or the vagina. The most common location is within the uterus. The exact cause of these polyps is not known but hormonal changes are thought to play a role. Symptoms can vary, some women might not experience any symptoms, while others might have irregular menstrual periods, bleeding in between periods, or infertility. If left untreated, these conditions can lead to complications such as heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, or problems with fertility. Genital tract polyps typically grow slowly and the disease progression varies from person to person. It's important to note that whilst these polyps are generally benign, in some rare instances, they may turn cancerous.
