Uterine Disorders: Patient Education from University of Colorado Hospital

Living with a Uterine Disorder

Uterine disorders can cause severe physical problems that can often prevent a woman from daily activities like work and school. Certain uterine disorders can also affect a woman's ability to get pregnant.

The most common signs of a uterine disorder include:

• Missed or irregular periods
• Extremely heavy bleeding
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Infertility (difficulty getting pregnant)

Treatments are available for uterine disorders. When symptoms are severe and interfering with daily activities, you should see a doctor. Your symptoms may be a sign of a disease or disorder that needs to be treated.

Getting a Second Opinion about a Uterine Disorder

Uterine disorders can affect your daily life, affect your ability to get pregnant or be a sign of another disease so it is important you receive a complete evaluation. University of Colorado Hospital is happy to offer a second opinion and to work with you if you choose to come to our hospital for treatment.
