Describe the uterus?/?

Question

Perhaps based on description, function, and anything else??

Answer 1

The uterus is located in the lower abdomen between the bladder and the r****m. The uterus is also called the womb. It is pear-shaped, and the lower, narrow end of the uterus is the cervix. When a woman is pregnant, the baby grows in the uterus until he or she is born.

On each side of the uterus at the top are the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Together, the uterus, v****a, ovaries, and fallopian tubes make up the reproductive system.

In women who have not gone through menopause ("the change" or "change of life"), the ovaries produce the hormone estrogen at the beginning of the menstrual cycle. Estrogen helps to prepare the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium) for possible pregnancy. When the uterus is ready, one of the ovaries releases an egg. The egg travels down the fallopian tube where it waits for possible fertilization.

If the woman becomes pregnant, the fertilized egg travels to the uterus where it attaches to the endometrium. If she does not, the endometrium and the unfertilized egg are discharged through the v****a during the woman's next period (menstruation).

Some of the problems that can affect your uterus are:

1.) Noncancerous growths in the uterus, called fibroids, which can cause pain and bleeding.

2.) Endometriosis, a condition in which the tissue that forms the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.

3.) Heavy bleeding each time you have your period or between periods.

4.) Hormonal imbalances.

5.) Unexplained pelvic pain.
