Uterine Health

Uterine conditions greatly affect the health and quality of life of millions of women in America.

• In the United States, abnormal uterine bleeding affects about 1.4 million women each year.
• Uterine health research is consistently underfunded by the National Institutes of Health, ranking in the bottom 50 of over 200 funded conditions.

Uterine health refers to a woman’s experience with the multiple functions of the uterus, including menstruation, implantation, gestation, labor, and the general structural integrity of the female reproductive tract. Many uterine health conditions are often characterized by irregular periods, excessive bleeding, pelvic and lower back pain, or difficulty with urination and pregnancy. They may impact reproductive health and fertility treatments.
