The uterus works behind the scenes as one of the body’s most impressive organs, adapting and preparing for a possible pregnancy every month. Think it's "just" a womb? Think again!

In addition to getting ready to host new life with five-star luxury, it also works together with the ovaries and fallopian tubes to regulate the maturation of eggs and the menstrual cycle through hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. The uterus also has powerful muscle tissue that's among the strongest in the entire body, designed to help deliver a baby. This powerhouse reshapes itself throughout each phase of a woman's life.
