Benign Ovarian Tumors

Types, Symptoms, and Treatment

Benign ovarian tumors are slow-growing, non-cancerous masses that form on or inside a woman’s ovary. They are often discovered during routine pelvic exams since symptoms are rare. Treatment ranges from watchful waiting to surgical removal, with fertility typically preserved after care.

Cervical Dysplasia

Causes, Risks, and Treatment

Cervical dysplasia is the abnormal growth of precancerous cells on the cervix, often caused by HPV. It has no symptoms and is usually detected through Pap smears. Mild cases may resolve on their own, while moderate to severe cases require treatments like LEEP, cryotherapy, or laser therapy. Regular screening and HPV vaccination are key to prevention.

Endometriosis

Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and sometimes infertility. Symptoms include pelvic pain, heavy periods, and pain during sex, though some women have no symptoms. Treatment options range from pain relief and hormonal therapy to surgery, depending on severity and fertility goals.

Placenta Accreta

Understanding Risks and Treatment

Placenta accreta is a serious pregnancy complication where the placenta attaches too deeply to the uterine wall, increasing risks of severe bleeding and preterm delivery. Often linked to prior C-sections or uterine surgery, it can be diagnosed early through ultrasound or MRI. Treatment typically involves a planned cesarean hysterectomy performed by a specialized surgical team. The University of Colorado Anschutz offers the region’s only dedicated placenta accreta program, providing expert care for this complex condition.
