Gynecologic Conditions

A wide variety of benign (non-cancerous) conditions may affect a woman's reproductive system. Your reproductive system consists of your uterus, vagina, ovaries and fallopian tubes.

Common types of gynecologic conditions such as fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterine wall), endometriosis (non-cancerous growths of the uterine lining) or prolapse (falling or slipping of the uterus) - can cause chronic pain and heavy bleeding, as well as other disabling symptoms.
