Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Pelvic inflammatory disease affects millions of women each year in the United States and is an infection of one or more pelvic organs, including the uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes.

Experts Answer Your Endometriosis Questions
A number of theories have been advanced, but no single theory explains all cases of endometriosis. For example, the most popular theory is called the Retrograde Menstruation Theory (promoted by Dr. John Sampson in the 1920's). He surmised that menstrual tissue flows backwards through the fallopian tubes and deposits on the pelvic organs where it seeds and grows. Later, researchers found that most women have retrograde flow.

Benign Uterine Fibroid Tumors
Uterine fibroid tumors are almost always benign. These benign (non-cancerous) tumors are found in most cases, in the uterus of women in their 30's and 40's.

What Are Ovarian Cysts?
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs, similar to blisters, that are common among women during their reproductive years. They form on the ovaries, the almond-sized organs on each side of the uterus. Most types of ovarian cysts are harmless and go away without any treatment.
