N84: Polyp of female genital tract
N84.3: Polyp of vulva
The external female genital organs include the labia, the clitoris and the skin around the vagina.
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 at that point.
A bulge of the mucous membrane (polyp) on your external genital organs can cause a range of symptoms. You may possibly experience pain. In a lot of cases, a bulge of the mucous membrane does not cause any symptoms at all.
