Uterus Produces Hormones?From: Barb (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 6 Aug 1999 11:59:43 -0500 (CDT)
I've heard some claim that the (nonpregnant) uterus produces hormones and that this is a rationale for avoiding hysterectomy for nonmalignant conditions either pre- or postmenopausally. Certainly the premenopausal ovary produces estrogen and progesterone, but I wasn't aware that the uterus did also. Is there any merit to this claim? Also, is there any validity to the argument that uterine fibroids produce toxins?
