The uterus is a pear-shaped organ located between the bladder, which is attached to the abdominal wall, and the large intestine, which is attached to the coccyx. The cervix, also known as the “neck” of the uterus, is attached to the vagina. The fallopian tube connects the uterus to the ovary. Uterine growths called myomas or fibroids are benign masses that form in the inner muscles of the uterus.
