D26: Other benign neoplasms of uterus
The group of conditions referred to as "Other benign neoplasms of the uterus" encompasses various types of non-cancerous tumors that develop within the uterus. These growths can arise from different tissues of the uterus including the muscle tissue, the lining (endometrium) or the connective tissue. While benign, meaning they don't spread or invade other tissues, these tumors can sometimes cause symptoms that disrupt everyday life. Common symptoms may include abnormal menstrual periods, pelvic pain, or discomfort, and in some cases, difficulties with fertility. While the exact cause of these neoplasms isn't known, factors such as hormonal imbalances, genetic predisposition, or certain environmental exposures may contribute to their development. The progression of these conditions can vary widely, from remaining stable and causing no symptoms to growing large and causing severe discomfort or other complications. The main bodily system affected by these conditions is the female reproductive system.
