Birth control pills: A daily medication that contains 2 hormones (estrogen and progestin) to prevent pregnancy — or manage and suppress heavy periods.
Endometriosis: A medical condition in which tissue that's similar to the lining inside the uterus, called the endometrium, is found outside the uterus where it doesn't belong.
Hysterectomy: partial hysterectomy removes the uterus including, in some cases, the cervix.
Laparoscopy: A surgical procedure in which a fiber-optic instrument is inserted through the abdominal wall to view the organs in the abdomen or to permit a surgical procedure.
Miscarriage: Pregnancy loss that occurs when an embryo or fetus dies before the 20th week, which typically happens early in pregnancy — 8 out of 10 miscarriages occur in the first 3 months.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS): A common hormonal condition in which an imbalance in the sex hormones may cause menstrual abnormalities, skin and hair changes, obesity, infertility and other long-term health problems. The name comes from the multiple small cysts which line the ovaries of most women with the disorder.

Uterine fibroids: Abnormal benign growth in the uterine wall.
