Hi,
The ultrasound shows two findings- a small muscular mass within the uterine wall- this need not be worried about, and need no treatment if asymptomatic.
The second finding is a cervical polyp (a flushy mass protruding from cervix). Polyps can cause menorrhagia, bleeding in between periods or vaginal discharge. Usually this is removed even if asymptomatic and is sent to lab for pathology testing, because of possibility of neoplastic changes within (though very rarely). Your gynecologist will discuss in detail with you.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
