'die Scheide' and 'der Uterus' both belong to the female body and can appear together in medical texts. However, they refer to different organs. 'die Scheide' is the canal that leads to the outside. 'der Uterus' is the technical term for the womb; this is where the embryo develops during pregnancy. 'Uterus' sounds more medical than 'Gebärmutter'. So do not confuse the external access through 'die Scheide' with the organ farther inside, 'der Uterus'.
