Uterine Problems Quiz

How much do you know about uterine problems?

  1. Abnormal uterine bleeding may cause iron deficiency.
  2. Fibroids may occur inside the uterus, within the walls of the uterus, or on the outside surface of the uterus, but they don't make it difficult for a woman to become pregnant.
  3. Childbirth may result in a condition called prolapsed uterus, where the uterus can bulge into the vagina.
  4. A hysterectomy is the only treatment that guarantees a cure for fibroids, but it may not be necessary for all women.
  5. Birth control pills are sometimes prescribed to treat abnormal uterine bleeding.
