Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are common benign tumors of the uterus. Hormones and genetics influence their growth. Many need no treatment, but options range from medical therapy and minimally invasive procedures to myomectomy or hysterectomy depending on symptoms and fertility goals.
Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus - most often in a fallopian tube. Symptoms include pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding. Diagnosis uses transvaginal ultrasound and serial beta-hCG tests; treatment ranges from observation or methotrexate to surgery.
Ovarian cancer often causes vague gastrointestinal or pelvic symptoms that can be mistaken for benign conditions. Persistent bloating, pelvic pain, early satiety, and urinary changes warrant medical evaluation - especially for women with a family history or genetic risk.
