Uterine Conditions
Your uterus relies on a complex interplay of hormones to stay healthy. When hormone levels are off-balance, certain medical conditions can develop. Although most of these conditions are benign, they can cause troublesome symptoms, such as excessive bleeding, infertility or pain. In addition to hormonal imbalances, certain infections can damage the uterus. The causes of some other uterine conditions are still a mystery.
