They are typically asymptomatic but may bleed with minimal trauma such as intercourse or douching. Polyps may also become infected and cause purulent discharge. Single polyps are more common than multiple polyps. Polyps are most commonly caused by infection, chronic inflammation, or excess estrogen.
