“WHAT IS THE ANSWER TO MY UTERINE FIBROID QUESTION?” A PATIENT ASKS HER INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGIST AND GYNECOLOGIST

The Uterus

"Uterus illustration used by permission of Francis Hutchins, Jr. M.D. - The Fibroid Book 2nd Edition".

Uterus - It is the reproductive organ that is hollow, shaped like a pear, and this is where a baby grows.

Vagina - It is a tube that joins the cervix to the outside of the body (e.g. birth canal).

LUS (Lower Uterine Segment)- Is located at the neck (bottom part) of the uterus.

Cervix - This is the lowest part of the womb or uterus, and it is where a baby passes through during the birth process.

Fallopian Tubes - Tubes that are attached to the upper part of the uterus that serve as tunnels for the ova to travel from the ovaries to the uterus.

Ovary - Is the organ that produces female hormones and holds egg cells. There are two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus.

Pelvic cavity - The space inside the pelvis that holds the reproductive organs.
