How is Vascularization Related to Gynecological Disorders?
Abnormal vascularization is a hallmark of several gynecological conditions. For instance, uterine fibroids are benign tumors that often have an extensive blood supply, contributing to their growth and symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding. Endometriosis, a condition where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, often involves aberrant vascularization, which can lead to chronic pain and infertility. Targeting the vascularization in these conditions can be a therapeutic approach, such as using medications that inhibit angiogenesis.
