A 36-year-old woman in Sweden who underwent a womb transplant gave birth to a baby boy last month. Coming soon: a slew of "Things Only Womb-Transplant Kids Will Understand" articles.

Today we have two new stories about your uterus: one that reveals that the sound of a ticking clock can actually speed up a woman's desire to have children, and another that reveals that young women who don't hear that clock in their heads (or who want to ignore it) are attending parties where they learn how to…

Researchers are warning that a common gynecological procedure performed on 50,000 American women a year might actually — whoopsie-daisy! — be spreading cancer.

As it turns out, when you ask a bunch of adults to identify specific parts of the human body, suddenly everyone becomes a comedian!

Morcellation, popular, minimally invasive method for removing uterine growths, is now believed by some experts to increase the risk of spreading cancer.

More than a year after kicking around the procedure's viability, doctors at the University of Goteborg in Sweden have performed the first mother-to-daughter uterus transplants, though they're saving all the back-patting for when (or if) the daughters, who began IVF treatment before the surgery, actually conceive.

Recently we've heard some world-class craziness on the subject of that wondrous creation, the female body. The GOP has long frowned upon sex education, and for good reason. A rudimentary understanding of biology would render nonsensical many of its cherished ideas about women's anatomical functions. Congressman Todd…

With all the government officials crowded in there, I'm amazed that they were able to do it, but scientists have announced that during their travels through the human uterus, they've discovered something math-magical — proportions approaching what naturalists, scientists, and general knowledge nerds refer to as the…

Here it is: the first ever MRI taken of a fetus as it travels through the birth canal and into the world. Seen from this angle, the process looks both amazing and deeply painful.

That's pretty much what this HUSH chair allows you to do, according to designer Freyja Sewell's website:

We've long been fed the image that sperm make their way to our eggs by wiggling their little tails and magically swimming up our reproductive tract to find the treasure at the end of the line. Well, new research is painting a decidedly less appealing picture of what actually happens when the little sperm get released…

Remember when we decided that Rick Santorum needed a uterus of his very own so he'd leave ours alone? Well, now there's a similar idea being proposed for the members of Congress across this great land who seem so insistent on getting all up in our lady parts since they're jealous they don't have any of their own. So…

It's pretty obvious that lawmakers are waging a war on women, and it can make you want to tear out your hair, scream, and cry. Here's another option: Celebrate your uterus! Prove you're proud of your reproductive organs, and feel a sense of ownership over your ladyparts — buying uterus-inspired stuff from Etsy.

Searching the Getty Images archives for pictures of babies, we stumbled upon this gem. It's a scan from a 1650 medical text — The Birth of Mankynde, Other Wyse Named The Womans Booke — in which someone has illustrated all the various ways the mischievous little fetus positions itself before being born. Epic in scope,…

If anyone could school the Republicans on reproductive rights, it'd probably be Susie Essman's no-bullshit character on Curb Your Enthusiasm. She'd insult them so hard their heads would spin, and then she'd have them under her command. It's too bad she's fictional, but fortunately the real Susie Essman also has a…

Researchers have discovered that women who regularly drink coffee may be less likely to develop cancer in the lining of their uterus. Possibly. But don't start drinking it if you aren't already! And definitely don't make it taste good.

Twins Nathan and Natalie Barbosa are completely normal, healthy babies, but their birth last week was extremely unusual. Andreea Barbosa of Florida has two uteruses, or uterus didelphys, a condition that can lead to infertility. She already has a two-year-old daughter, and her doctor thought a double pregnancy was…
