The uterus (from Latin uterus, pl.: uteri or uteruses) or womb (/ w uː m /) is the organ in the reproductive system of most female mammals, including humans, that accommodates the embryonic and fetal development of one or more fertilized eggs until birth. [1]
The uterine microbiome refers to the community of commensal, nonpathogenic microorganisms—including bacteria, viruses, and yeasts/fungi—present in a healthy uterus, as well as in the amniotic fluid and endometrium. These microorganisms coexist in a specific environment within the uterus, playing a vital role in maintaining reproductive ...
The female reproductive tract is made of several connected internal sex organs—the vagina, uterus, and fallopian tubes—and is prone to infections. [1] The vagina allows for sexual intercourse, and is connected to the uterus at the cervix. The uterus (or womb) accommodates the embryo by developing the uterine lining.
A bicornuate uterus is an indication for increased surveillance of a pregnancy, though most women with a bicornuate uterus are able to have healthy pregnancies. [1] Women with a bicornuate uterus are at an increased risk of recurrent miscarriage, [2] [10] preterm birth, [2] [11] malpresentation, [2] [12] disruptions to fetal growth, [13] premature rupture of membranes, placenta previa and ...
However, in most cases, the uterus will go back to its normal position after giving birth. What are complications of having a tilted uterus? There are a few potential things to keep in mind.
In most cases, a retroverted uterus is a normal variation present from birth. As a woman matures, the uterus generally moves into a forward tilt, however in some cases the uterus remains in the same position angled backwards. [1] Some other conditions and gynaecological diseases can cause a retroverted uterus. [2]
The normal dominance of Lactobacilli in the vagina is seen as a marker for vaginal health. However, in the uterus this much lower population is seen as invasive in a closed environment that is highly regulated by female sex hormones, and that could have unwanted consequences.
The myometrium is located between the endometrium (the inner layer of the uterine wall) and the serosa or perimetrium (the outer uterine layer).. The inner one-third of the myometrium (termed the junctional or sub-endometrial layer) appears to be derived from the Müllerian duct, while the outer, more predominant layer of the myometrium appears to originate from non-Müllerian tissue and is ...
