Swatee C: A Guide to Common Uterine Disorders

Swatee C, Freelance Writer, shared a post on LinkedIn:

Common uterus (womb) disorders include:

  1. Uterine fibroids– non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus; may cause heavy periods, pelvic pressure, or pain.
  2. Endometriosis– tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing severe period pain and pelvic pain.
  3. Adenomyosis – uterine-lining-like tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, causing heavy and painful periods.
  4. Endometrial polyps– small growths of the uterine lining that can cause irregular or heavy bleeding.
  5. Endometrial hyperplasia– excessive thickening of the uterine lining, sometimes associated with abnormal bleeding.
  6. Endometritis– inflammation or infection of the uterine lining.
  7. Uterine prolapse – the uterus moves downward into the vagina because pelvic-supporting tissues have weakened.
  8. Uterine cancer (endometrial cancer)– cancer arising from the lining of the uterus; abnormal vaginal bleeding, especially after menopause, is an important warning sign.

Congenital uterine abnormalities – structural differences present from birth, such as a septate or bicornuate uterus.

Symptoms that can occur:

  • abnormal/heavy bleeding,
  • painful periods,
  • pelvic pain or pressure,
  • bleeding between periods or after sex,
  • unusual vaginal discharge,
  • and difficulty becoming pregnant.”
