The uterus provides support to the bladder, bowel, pelvic bones, and organs as well. Occasionally, something happens that changes the integrity of this hardy muscular organ, causing everything from annoying abdominal cramps to more serious symptoms such as severe pelvic pain, bleeding, pregnancy loss, or bladder and gastrointestinal trouble. Here in today’s article, Dr. Usha M Kumar -the best gynae Laparoscopic surgeon in Delhi tells you the numerous conditions against which you must protect your uterus!
