Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are tissue growths that form a mass in the uterus. these growths may multiply and become large or remain relatively small. These growths are usually non-cancerous but have a small potential to turn into a cancerous state.
Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form during ovulation on either one or both of the ovaries. In most cases, ovarian cysts do not cause symptoms and can disappear on their own without treatment. When an ovarian cyst grows rather large, rarely it may rupture or become cancerous. When cysts grow larger, they may cause pain and requires treatment.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a hormonal and immune disease in which endometrial cells grow outside the uterine cavity, commonly on the membrane that lines the abdomen. Endometriosis usually affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining the pelvis. During the course of the menstruation cycle, these displaced endometrial cells will grow, thicken and bleed, causing pain where they are situated. Thus, women who have endometriosis suffer from immense abdomen or pelvic pain and painful periods.
