Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

A lot of things: Could be normal (depending on age, medications, etc..). However, one may also be dealing with pregnancy, polyps, fibroids or worse. Do a pregnancy test and see ob/gyn.

Many possibilities : See your doctor. Benign growths like fibroids or polyps are often seen.
