The word “uterus” has a fascinating linguistic history, rooted in Latin. It is a learned borrowing from the Latin word “uterus,” which can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European term *úderos. This ancient root carries the meanings of “abdomen” and “stomach,” reflecting the organ’s anatomical location and function.

Uterin Fibroids
&
Cancers

Uterine Polyps

Uterine polyps are growths that develop within the inner lining of the uterus, also known as the endometrium.

Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus. They are made up of muscle and fibrous tissue and can vary in size, ranging from tiny, undetectable nodules to larger masses that can distort the shape of the uterus.

Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis occurs when the tissue lining the uterus (endometrium) grows into the muscular wall of the uterus (myometrium). This can lead to an enlarged and painful uterus. It’s distinct from endometriosis, which involves the tissue growing outside the uterus.

Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is often slow-growing and can be detected at an early stage through regular screenings, such as Pap tests and HPV testing.

Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial cancer, also known as uterine cancer, is a type of cancer that originates in the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium. It is one of the most common gynecological cancers and primarily affects postmenopausal women.

Uterine Sarcoma

Uterine sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that originates in the muscle or connective tissues of the uterus. Unlike endometrial cancer, which starts in the lining of the uterus, it arises from the supporting tissues of the uterine wall. Uterine sarcomas account for a small percentage of all uterine cancers.
