What are Other Specified Noninflammatory Disorders of the Uterus?
Other specified noninflammatory disorders of the uterus are a group of conditions that affect the uterus, but are not caused by inflammation. These disorders can cause a range of symptoms, such as abnormal bleeding, pain, and infertility.
- Endometrial hyperplasia: This condition occurs when the lining of the uterus grows too thick. It can cause heavy or irregular bleeding, and may increase the risk of developing endometrial cancer.
- Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis occurs when the tissue that lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. This can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and discomfort during menstruation.
- Uterine prolapse: Uterine prolapse occurs when the uterus slips down into the vaginal canal. This can cause discomfort, pain, and difficulty with urination.
- Uterine fibroids: Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in the uterus. They can cause heavy or prolonged bleeding, pain, and pressure in the pelvic area.
- Polyps: Uterine polyps are growths that develop on the lining of the uterus. They can cause irregular bleeding, pain, and infertility.
Other specified noninflammatory disorders of the uterus can be diagnosed through a variety of tests, including ultrasound, hysteroscopy, and biopsy. Treatment options depend on the specific condition and may include medications, surgery, or lifestyle changes.
If you are experiencing symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, pain, or infertility, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider. They can help determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and recommend the appropriate treatment.
