Gynecological diseases in women
What types of gynecological diseases do women have?
Gynecological diseases are conditions that affect the normal function of the female reproductive organs, including the mammary glands and organs of the abdominal and pelvic region, namely the uterus (uterus), ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina and vulva.
Gynecology also includes the treatment of diseases and conditions that only women suffer from. The word comes from the French gynecologie, which is based on the Greek roots gyne – "woman" and –logy – "study".
What causes gynecological diseases?
Women's diseases are insidious diseases that can initially manifest as inflammation of the vaginal mucosa. Inflammation is often caused by certain bacteria and viruses that are infected during active sexual activity. This infection can occur from chlamydia, trichomonas, mycoplasmas, streptococci, staphylococci, hemophilus bacillus, candida, gonococcus, etc.
Types of women's diseases
Uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyoma or simply fibroids, are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus. Most women with fibroids have no symptoms, while others may have painful or heavy menstruation. If they are large enough, they can put pressure on the bladder, causing frequent urge to urinate. About 20% of women over the age of 30 suffer from uterine fibroids.
Menstrual disorders. Menstrual irregularities are abnormal menstrual bleeding that affects the quality of life due to irregular or excessive bleeding and may indicate certain gynecological diseases.
Endometriosis. Endometriosis is a disease of the female reproductive system. It occurs in women and a limited number of female mammals. In endometriosis, cells similar to those of the endometrium, the layer of tissue that usually covers the inside of the uterus, grow outside it. Endometriosis occurs in a woman's body when the mucous membrane of the uterus (endometrium) is found in abnormal places outside the uterus, for example, in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus.
Cancers and precancerous diseases of the reproductive organs, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina and vulva. Today it is one of the most common malignant neoplasms affecting women all over the world.
Infertility. Many gynecological diseases recur several times and leave serious complications affecting reproductive health. They can even cause female infertility.
Dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) is painful menstruation or menstrual cramps, which are pain during menstruation. Its usual onset occurs around the time when menstruation begins. Symptoms usually last less than three days. The pain is usually localized in the pelvis or lower abdomen. Secondary dysmenorrhea occurs in combination with the underlying disease of the pelvic organs. Common causes include chronic infection of the pelvic organs, endometriosis of the pelvic organs.
PCOS. Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrine disease in women of reproductive age. The syndrome is named because of the cysts that form on the ovaries in some people with this disease, although this is not a universal symptom and not the main cause of the disease. PCOS is the most common problem among young girls nowadays. The main culprits are stress and a sedentary lifestyle. Women with PCOS are at higher risk of developing a number of diseases, including type 2 metabolic syndrome.
Vaginitis. Vaginitis is a term used to describe any disease that causes swelling or infection of both the vulva and vagina. Trichomonas vaginitis is caused by the microorganism Trichomonas vaginalis. Suddenly, there is abundant and fetid vaginal discharge, irritation and itching.
Menopause. Menopause, also known as menopause, is the time when menstrual periods finally stop, which means the end of reproductive function. This usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although the exact time may vary. Menopause is usually a natural change. This may happen earlier in those who smoke tobacco. After menopause, the organs of the reproductive system decrease in size; bone loss occurs by about 3-5% per year.
Neoplasm. A neoplasm is a type of abnormal and excessive tissue growth. The process that occurs with the formation of a neoplasm is called neoplasia. The growth of the neoplasm is not consistent with the growth of normal surrounding tissue and continues to grow abnormally, even if the initial trigger is removed.
