Uterine Health

This condition affects a woman's uterus. The uterus is also known as the "womb." With adenomyosis, the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus grows into the uterus' walls. It thickens the walls. It also still acts the way it does when it's in the uterus. It gets thick and breaks down with your menstrual cycle. This can cause problems.

This is bleeding from your uterus (that's your womb) that seems random or unusual. You can't trace it to anything specific. Let's take a moment to learn more.

This is a bulb of tissue that grows on the inner wall of your womb. It may be attached to your womb by a stalk or a thick base. You can have one or more polyps, and they can be small or large. Most aren't cancerous, but they can cause problems. So when we find them, we may want to remove them.

This involves your endometrial tissue. It lines the inside of your uterus. That's the tissue that breaks down and sheds when you have your period. With this condition, your endometrial tissue begins to grow outside of your uterus.

These growths, also called "myomas," form in the wall of your uterus. They are made from muscle cells and other tissues. They can be small or large, and you can have one or many. Fibroids are tumors, but they are benign. That means they aren't cancerous.

This procedure destroys the endometrium. That's the layered tissue that lines the inner wall of your uterus. This tissue sheds when you have your monthly period. Ablation is sometimes used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. It is used only when you do not want to get pregnant in the future.

This is when we take a small sample of tissue from the inner lining of your womb. This lining is called the "endometrium." A biopsy helps us find the cause of problems that affect your menstrual period. We can use the biopsy to check your hormone levels. And it can help us find cancer.

This x-ray procedure shows the inside shape of your uterus and fallopian tubes. Your uterus is your womb. Your fallopian tubes are the tunnels your eggs travel through to get to your uterus. This x-ray shows us if there are blockages or other issues that make it hard for you to get pregnant.

This surgery removes a growth (called a "fibroid") from the wall of your uterus. That's the organ we also call the "womb."

A hysterectomy is a common procedure that some women may need to help stop pain, bleeding, or other problems. It can be done in several ways, one of which is abdominally. In this video, you'll find out medical conditions that may require a hysterectomy and what to expect if you need this procedure.

This surgery removes your uterus. That's your womb. We do this to treat abnomal bleeding from your uterus. We do it to treat things like endometriosis, fibroids and cancer.

This surgery removes the uterus. That's also known as the "womb." Other organs may be removed, too. Let's learn about the basic types of hysterectomy, and why they are done.

This procedure uses a device called a "hysteroscope" to see and treat issues in your womb. With hysteroscopy, we can examine your womb to find the cause of abnormal bleeding or pregnancy issues. We can take tissue samples. We can treat or remove things like fibroids, polyps and scar tissue. And we can place or remove a birth control device.

This minimally-invasive procedure is used to remove a uterus through one small incision in the navel. A LESS hysterectomy has fewer incision sites than traditional open or laparoscopic procedures and will provide a better cosmetic outcome for the patient.

This surgery takes out the upper part of your uterus. Your uterus is your womb. We leave the lower part of the uterus (called the "cervix"). This is the thick-walled tunnel that connects your uterus to your vagina. This surgery treats things like abnormal bleeding, pain and cancer.

This surgery takes out your uterus and cervix. Your uterus is your womb. Your cervix is the thick-walled tunnel that connects your uterus to your vagina. This surgery treats things like abnormal bleeding, pain and cancer.

This procedure uses a device called a "hysteroscope" (also known as a "resectoscope") to remove one or more fibroids inside your womb. A fibroid is a form of tumor that's rarely cancerous.
