Fundic gland polyposis is a medical syndrome where the fundus and the body of the stomach develop many fundic gland polyps.The condition has been described both in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and attenuated variants (AFAP), and in patients in whom it occurs sporadically.
An atonic uterus can feel soft, "boggy" and/or enlarged. [2] Bleeding from the cervical os is also common. If the atony is localized to one area of the uterus, the upper, fundal region may still be squeezing while the lower uterine segment is non-functional. This can be difficult to see with a cursory abdominal examination and easily overlooked.
As the uterus returns to its nonpregnant size, its muscles contract strongly, which can cause pain. Fundal massage can be performed with one hand over the pubic bone, firmly massaging the uterine fundus (the top of the uterus), or with the addition of one hand in the vagina compressing the two uterine arteries.
A boggy uterus is a finding upon physical examination where the uterus is more flaccid than would be expected. It can be associated with uterine atony. [1]
Women with endometrial cancer should not have routine surveillance imaging to monitor the cancer unless new symptoms appear or tumor markers begin rising. Imaging without these indications is discouraged because it is unlikely to detect a recurrence or improve survival, and because it has its own costs and side effects. [83]
The condition may be asymptomatic. The predominant symptoms are: Abnormal lochial discharge, either excessive or prolonged; Irregular or at times excessive uterine bleeding; Irregular cramp-like pain is cases of retained products or rise of temperature in sepsis
Symptoms generally include heavy bleeding from the vagina that doesn't slow or stop over time. [12] Initially there may be an increased heart rate, feeling faint upon standing, and an increased respiratory rate. [1] As more blood is lost, the patient may feel cold, blood pressure may drop, and they may become unconscious. [1]
Asherman's syndrome (AS) is an acquired uterine condition that occurs when scar tissue forms inside the uterus and/or the cervix. [1] It is characterized by variable scarring inside the uterine cavity, where in many cases the front and back walls of the uterus stick to one another.
