Cesarean Section (C-Section)
A cesarean section is a surgical procedure to deliver a baby through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. It may be planned in advance or performed as an emergency during labor. C-sections account for about one-third of all deliveries in the United States.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic tissue. It causes pain, especially during periods, and can lead to fertility problems. Diagnosis often takes years.
Hysterectomy
A hysterectomy is surgical removal of the uterus, sometimes including the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. It is performed for conditions including fibroids, endometriosis, cancer, and abnormal bleeding. It is the second most common surgery for women after cesarean delivery.
Infertility
Infertility is the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse (or 6 months for women over 35). It affects about 1 in 8 couples. Causes can be male, female, or unexplained. Treatment ranges from medication to assisted reproductive technology.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when pelvic floor muscles weaken, allowing pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, rectum) to drop from their normal position. It is common after childbirth and menopause. Treatment includes pelvic floor exercises, pessary devices, or surgical repair.
Pregnancy and Vaginal Childbirth
Pregnancy and childbirth involve approximately 9 months of prenatal care followed by labor and delivery. Routine prenatal care includes regular checkups, blood tests, ultrasounds, and screenings. Vaginal delivery is the most common method of childbirth.
Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. They are extremely common, affecting up to 80% of women by age 50. Many are asymptomatic, but some cause heavy periods, pelvic pain, and reproductive issues.
