Terms used:
Endometrial cancer (uterine cancer): A cancer of the womb, or uterus, with adenocarcinoma of the endometrium the most common type. Endometrial cancer starts in the layer of cells that form the lining of the womb, called the endometrium.
Endometrial hyperplasia: Thickens the uterus lining, causing heavy or abnormal bleeding. Atypical endometrial hyperplasia raises the risk of endometrial cancer and uterine cancer. Endometrial hyperplasia is rare. It affects approximately 133 out of 100,000 women.
Laparoscopic hysterectomy: A minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the uterus.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS): A common hormonal condition in which an imbalance in the sex hormones may cause menstrual abnormalities, skin and hairchanges, obesity, infertility and other long-term health problems. The name comes from the multiple small cysts which line the ovaries of most women with the disorder.
Uterine polyps: Growths attached to the inner wall of the uterus that extend into the uterine cavity. Overgrowth of cells in the lining of the uterus (endometrium) leads to the formation of uterine polyps, also known as endometrial polyps. These polyps are usually noncancerous (benign), although some can be cancerous or can eventually turn into cancer (precancerous polyps).
