The main causes of uterine enlargement

Adenomyosis

This painful condition is characterized by an expansion of the endometrium in the muscles of the uterus.

Most often, this condition can be met by women who have overstepped their thirty-year life boundary.

Symptoms of adenomyosis:

• short-term spasmodic activity;
• abundant uterine bleeding;
• presence of clots in the menstrual blood;
• increasing, intense pain.

Molar Pregnancy

This disease is extremely rare.

It is characterized by the growth of abnormal fetal tissues.

It is clear that this abnormal process can become an unwitting initiator of the growth of the size of the uterus.

Uterine cancer

This disease is most common among women who have crossed the menopause threshold.

Usually, a malignant tumor occurs in the mucous membranes of the uterus( endometrium), constantly provoking an increase in its size.

Symptoms of malignant tumors, in this case, are:

• disorders in the urinary system;
• sharp pain accompanying sexual intercourse;
• persistent bleeding during the intermenstrual period or during menopause.

Ovarian cyst

This pathological formation is a cavity in the tissues of the ovary, filled with liquid contents.

Which, in turn, can contribute to an increase in the size of the uterine cavity.

Symptoms indicating cyst formation:

• difficulty in urinating;
• abdominal pain;
• painful menstruation;
• large loss of menstrual blood.

Myoma of the uterus

This, a fairly common disease, is the main cause of uterine enlargement.

Myoma of the uterus is a benign tumor that has the potential to appear:

• in the body of the uterus;
• inside the uterine cavity;
• outside of the uterus.

Symptoms characteristic of uterine fibroids:

• pelvic and abdominal pain;
• frequent constipation;
• urination disorders;
• painful sensations during intercourse;
• profuse menstrual bleeding. The causes of an enlarged uterus are quite diverse.

  Nevertheless, we must not forget that, due to age changes, not only the shape of the uterus changes, but also its size, so there is nothing surprising or strange in this change.

  Increased in size, healthy womb, continues to perfectly perform its natural functions and retains the ability to conceive and bear healthy offspring.

  Take care of yourself.
