Question : Does a c-section only relate to a baby, or can the terminology be used in removing a tumor or cyst from the reproductive system of a woman who is not pregnant?

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

A C-section is a procedure used to cut into the uterus to remove a fetus.

Terminology to remove a tumor such as a fibroid is called fibroidectomy.

The terminology to remove a cyst is call the cystectomy.
