Many health conditions can affect the womb or the uterus. While some of these conditions are minimal and require only minor health treatment, some are chronic and require serious treatment. Many involve common symptoms such as irregular bleeding or pelvic pain. It’s very important to visit your doctor regularly for a medical check-up before minimal issues become more serious issues....CONTINUE READING
According to the article published by Very Well Health, the following are six factors that can affect the womb (or uterus).
1. Dysmenorrhea
This is simply known as menstrual pain. It can occur during and/or before a period. It’s not usually a medical health problem, but it shouldn’t be overlooked. It often improves with hormone therapy or pain medication.
2. Menorrhagia
This means heavy menstrual bleeding or bleeding that lasts too long. It can occur for no reason, and it can also be caused by the following symptoms:
A. Imbalances in hormones
B. Cancer
C. Fibroids
D. Polyps
E. Certain types of birth control
F. Other medical conditions
Heavy or chronic bleeding can also cause iron-deficiency anemia, a low red blood cell count that has symptoms like fatigue, tachycardia (rapid heart rate), and pale skin. If you have a low red blood cell count, you might need treatment to treat the anemia and regulate the bleeding.
Note: Heavy bleeding and pain can cause uterine issues. Pain is not a sign of a problem. But heavy bleeding can be caused by medications, growth, hormone changes, or cancer.
3. Uterine Prolapse
This simply means that the ligaments and the muscles that hold the uterus and protect it from harm have been weakened. This type of issue is very common among older women.
The most common symptoms are:
A. Urine leaks.
B. An urgent feeling that you need to urinate.
C. Pain during or after intimacy in severe cases.
4. Retroverted Uterus
A retroverted uterus occurs when the uterus tilts far back toward the spine. Sometimes, it might not cause any symptoms, but in a rare condition, it can cause an issue during pregnancy. This issue can be detected by the doctor during a pelvic exam.
5. Fibroids
These are growths in the lining or walls of the womb. Sometimes, they can be joined to the outside of the womb with the help of a stalk. Fibroids can be small or large. The following are symptoms of fibroids:
A. Back pain.
B. Pelvic discomfort or pressure
C. Prolonged or heavy bleeding during or after the menstrual period
Pain during intimacy
E. Difficulty in getting pregnant

6. Cancer
Uterine cancer causes abnormal bleeding in a lady’s private parts. Endometrial cancer is the most common type of it, and it requires serious treatment if it spreads beyond the womb.
