Swatee C: A Guide to Common Uterine Disorders
Swatee C, Freelance Writer, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Common uterus (womb) disorders include:
- Uterine fibroids– non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus; may cause heavy periods, pelvic pressure, or pain.
- Endometriosis– tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing severe period pain and pelvic pain.
- Adenomyosis – uterine-lining-like tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, causing heavy and painful periods.
- Endometrial polyps– small growths of the uterine lining that can cause irregular or heavy bleeding.
- Endometrial hyperplasia– excessive thickening of the uterine lining, sometimes associated with abnormal bleeding.
- Endometritis– inflammation or infection of the uterine lining.
- Uterine prolapse – the uterus moves downward into the vagina because pelvic-supporting tissues have weakened.
- 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.”
