• The uterus is responsive to the hormonal changes
within the body, which allows adaptation to the
different stages of a woman reproductive life.

6. Some common Uterus Disorders.
• Uterine Fibroid: It is a benign tumor or growth
that contains fiberlike tissue. It is the most
common tumor in women.
• Uterine prolapse: Fallen uterus that can cause
the cervix to protrude through the vaginal
opening. Generally caused by weakened
muscles from vaginal delivery or as a result of
pelvic tumors pressing down.

7. Edometrium.
• Endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus. It
contains a rich blood supply and reacts to hormonal
changes every month, which results in menstruation.
During pregnancy, the lining of the uterus does not
shed but remain to nourih the unborn child.
• The Endometrium is made up of two layers.
• The Functional Layer also known as the functionalis is
the superficial layer that is shed each month during
menstruation.
• The Basal layer (basalis): This is a permanent layer that
gives rise to regeneration of the endometrium after
each month.

9. • Endometrial Function:
1. Location where blastocyt is normally implanted
2. Location where placenta developes.
Endometrial Disorders:
1. Abnormal Uterine bleeding.
2. Endometrial cancer.
3. Endometritis.
4. Endometriosis.

10. Menopause
• Menopause is the cessation or ending of
menstrual activity between the ages od 40
and 55. when menopause occurs after 40
years, is considered to be normal part of
aging. Some women can experience early
