Inverted uterus leads to inability for an adequate myometrial contraction effect –> myometrial fibers do not exert their normal tourniquet effect on the spiral arteries
Most common reason for hemorrhage in inverted uterus =
uterine atony
Atypical glandular cells =
cervical or endometrial adenocarcinoma

vWF
Pathophysiology of vWF
vWF assists in platelet adhesion and aggregation, acts as a carrier protein for factor 8
