Surgically cutting and tying the vas deferens to prevent the passage of sperm. Most common type (ductal carcinoma) originates in the mammary ducts. Has the ability to invade surrounding tissue if not detected early enough. Bleeding between menstrual periods, after sexual intercourse, or after menopause. Acute or chronic inflammation of the uterine cervix. Herniation or downward protrusion of the urinary bladder through the wall of the vagina. Malignant tumor of the inner lining of the uterus.
