Benign Tumors

Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer. Malignant ones are. Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such as your brain.

Tumors are made up of extra cells. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells as your body needs them. When cells grow old, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes, this process goes wrong. New cells form when your body does not need them, and old cells do not die when they should. These extra cells can divide without stopping and may form a tumor.

Treatment often involves surgery. Benign tumors usually don't grow back.

Uterine Diseases

What are uterine diseases?

The uterus, or womb, is the place where a fetus grows during pregnancy. Uterine diseases are conditions that affect the uterus. These diseases can be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancerous). They may affect your menstrual periods, your ability to get pregnant, or the health of your reproductive organs.

Some types of uterine diseases include:

Adenomyosis. Tissue that usually lines the uterus grows on the outside walls.
Cervicitis. Swelling or inflamed tissue of the cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus.
Endometrial hyperplasia. An overgrowth of normal cells inside the uterus.
Endometriosis. Tissue like the lining of the uterus grows in other places in your body.
Uterine prolapse. The uterus drops in to the vagina due to weakened pelvic muscles. This can happen after a few vaginal births, menopause, or because of obesity.

What causes uterine diseases?

Various factors can cause uterine diseases. These can include hormonal imbalances, thyroid problems, fibroids, polyps, cancer, infection, or pregnancy.

What are the symptoms of uterine diseases?

Your symptoms will depend on the type of uterine condition you have. The first sign of a problem with the uterus may be abnormal bleeding. Bleeding could occur between periods, be very heavy, or last much longer than usual. Other symptoms may include bleeding after sex or pelvic pain.

How are uterine diseases diagnosed?

To find out the cause of your symptoms, your health care provider may:

Ask about your symptoms and medical history
Do a pelvic exam
Order blood tests or imaging tests
Do a biopsy

What are the treatments for uterine diseases?

Treatment depends on the cause. It may include pain medicine, hormone therapy, or surgery. Your provider will work with you to choose the best treatment.
