What about endometriosis under things what can go wrong with a uterus? It's not exactly in the uterus, but that's precisely the problem.

Also, polycystic ovarian, syndrome (PCOS) as something which originates in the ovaries. Treatments include hormone therapies, including going on a BC pill.

hmm, not sure if it is appropriate, but certainly the line that has 'pelvic inflammatory disease' could have 'use of condoms for penetrative sex' in the care and maintenance line?

Also, think that if uterus gets to flaunt the baby making functions, breasts should get to flaunt the equally important baby feeding function...

Both good suggestions ;-)
