uterinen

Uterinen is a rarely attested adjective that would be understood to mean relating to the uterus. In contemporary English, the standard term for such a meaning is uterine. Uterinen appears only infrequently in historical texts, transliterations, or as a nonstandard variant, and it is not a common or widely accepted term in modern medical literature.

Usage of the form is generally discouraged in current practice. When encountered, it is usually interpreted as a misspelling or archaic variant of uterine rather than as a distinct technical term. Writers aiming for clarity and consistency typically replace it with uterine.

Etymology and status: the sense would align with Latin roots related to the uterus, but the exact formation uterinen is not common in standard English. Its presence is often taken as an indicator of older sources or non-English usage rather than as a currently valid English term.
