a benign fatty tumor usually composed of mature fat cells. They have a special importance in horses, in which the pedunculated tumors in the abdominal cavity uncommonly twist themselves around a loop of small intestine, sometimes just below the pylorus or around the rectum.
Endometrial Ablation. The lining of the uterusâthe endometriumâis shed by bleeding each month during a womanâs menstrual period. Sometimes the bleeding is too much or too long and treatment is needed. If bleeding does not respond to medication, your doctor may suggest endometrial ablation.
Some forms of menopause hormone therapy may cause monthly bleeding. This includes cyclic hormone therapy preparations that contain a combination of estrogen and a progestin. The progestin is used to prevent endometrial cancer if you have an intact uterus. Menopause hormone therapy can result in bleeding that may be light or may be as heavy as a normal period. If you're concerned about your bleeding, make an appointment to see your doctor or health care provider. Potential causes of abnormal bleeding during or after menopause include: 1  Thinning of the tissue lining the vagina and uterus due to a decrease in estrogen. 2  Uterine polyps or fibroids.
