It is likely you are thinking of:
* Hysteria: This is a word that used to be a medical term for a disorder that was believed to be caused by a wandering uterus. It was associated with a range of emotional and physical symptoms, often in women. Today, the term is rarely used in a medical context, and it is often considered outdated and sexist.
* Hysterectomy: This is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus.
If you have a different word in mind, please provide more context.
