Different Health Conditions Causing Uterine Problems

The uterus includes a variety of cells that assist women in developing a baby during pregnancy. When cells grow improperly, it can lead to unpleasant disorders.

However, some of these health conditions begin in the uterus. Others are a result of factors outside the uterus, such as hormones.

Below are Various Types of Uterine Problems

Uterine Scars (Asherman’s Syndrome)

Asherman’s syndrome is an acquired condition where scar tissue (adhesions) form inside your uterus.

The scar tissue can build up, decreasing the amount of open space inside your uterus. This condition can be as a result of complication from medical procedures or cancer treatments.

Cancer

Uterine cancer includes two types of cancer: endometrial cancer (more common) and uterine sarcoma.

The symptoms include bleeding between periods or after menopause. Uterine cancer treatment often consists of a hysterectomy to remove the uterus (womb).

Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are growths in or around the uterus. They are completely benign and while they can actually have some unpleasant side effects, they are not cancerous.

Symptoms include: Heavy or prolonged bleeding during your period or between periods, pelvic pain or pressure, back pain, pain during sex, difficulty getting pregnant

Although fibroids are sometimes called tumors, they are not cancer. They do not invade tissue or travel to other parts of the body the way cancer does.

Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for painful menstrual periods caused by uterine contractions.

Primary dysmenorrhea refers to recurrent pain, while secondary dysmenorrhea results from reproductive system disorders.

It often improves with pain medication or hormone therapy.

Menorrhagia

Menorrhagia is the medical term for menstrual periods with abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding.

Although heavy menstrual bleeding is a common concern, most women don’t experience blood loss severe enough to be defined as menorrhagia.

It can occur without any known cause, or it can be a symptom of;

Hormone Imbalances, Fibroid, Polyps, some types of birth control, cancer and other health conditions.

Uterine Prolapse

Uterine prolapse occurs when pelvic floor muscles and ligaments stretch and weaken and no longer provide enough support for the uterus.

As a result, the uterus slips down into or protrudes out of the vagina.

Uterine prolapse can occur in women of any age. But it often affects postmenopausal women who’ve had one or more vaginal deliveries.

The most common symptoms are; an urgent feeling that you need to urinate, urine leaks, pain during or after sex .

Retroverted Uterus

With this condition, the uterus tilts too far back towards the spine. Most of the time, it doesn’t cause symptoms. In rare cases, it can cause problems during pregnancy.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

This is an infection of a woman’s reproductive organs, usually caused by a sexually transmitted infection.

Sometimes, bacteria or microbes enter the cervix and spread upward. The infection can affect one or more of the pelvic organs, including the uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes.

Symptoms includes, lower abdominal pain and vaginal discharge. Prompt PID treatment is important to help avoid complications such as infertility.

In addition, your partner should get tested and treated too. Symptoms can include: Discharge, foul smell, an urgent need to urinate, pain.

Polyps

Uterine polyps are common. Therefore, these small, soft growths in the uterus may cause heavy menstrual bleeding, spotting between periods, and bleeding after sex.

Endometriosis

It is a disease in which the endometrium (the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus or womb) is present outside of the uterus.

However, the tissue most commonly occurs in the lower abdomen or pelvic area, but it can appear anywhere in the body. Other area it can be found include;

• Ovaries
• Fallopian tubes
• Tissues that hold the uterus in place
• Outer surface of the uterus

Furthermore, other sites for growths can include the vagina, cervix, vulva, bowel, bladder, or rectum. Rarely, endometriosis appears in other parts of the body, such as the lungs, brain, and skin.

Chronic Pelvic Pain

If your healthcare provider can’t identify the cause of your pain, you may be diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain. You may need treatment when your pain becomes worse.

In addition, you may also be more sensitive to other painful conditions, such as gastrointestinal or bladder infection.

How are Uterine Problems Diagnosed?

To diagnose a uterine problem, your doctor will first obtain your medical and family history in detail. To check for any anomalies, a vaginal exam may be conducted.

Your medical history and symptoms can help your healthcare provider decide which tests you need. Some of the most common tests are:

• Pelvic exam
• Pap smear
• Urinalysis
• Blood samples
• Imaging tests
• Interventional procedures

Therefore, if you’re having pain, bleeding, urinary leaks, or pregnancy problems, a pelvic exam and Pap test may be enough to pinpoint the problem.

In addition, you may need urine, blood, imaging scans, or “scope” tests to confirm a diagnosis.

How are Uterine Problems Treated?

The right treatment for uterine problems depends on what’s causing your symptoms.

Some of the most common treatments include, using a combination of medication (including hormones), exercises and surgery such as hysterectomy, myomectomy.

 ‘Watchful waiting’ may be recommended in specific cases. This means that no treatment is provided, but you will have to visit your doctor regularly to keep track of your condition and track symptoms.
