Gynecological diseases

Gynecological diseases

Women’s health – together a delicate topic:
Even the slightest problem is enough to disturb his peace. Women do not like to talk about gynecological problems and therefore avoid visiting a doctor for fear of hearing an unpleasant diagnosis.

Some gynecological pathologies are asymptomatic for a long time, if nothing bothers us, we rarely turn to a gynecologist for a prophylactic examination. Taking care of family, children, spouse, work and a thousand life problems we can never find the time to make sure we are healthy.

• 60% of women of reproductive age suffer from any type of gynecological disease, however, experts believe that this figure is actually much higher.
• The reason is not always low sex culture, it is related to the deterioration of public health of all populations, unfavorable ecological environment and modern active woman lifestyle – endless stresses, emotions, physical fatigue and inadequate physical activity.
• Gynecological diseases are directly related to complicated pregnancies and childbirth.
• Experts also point out that a woman enjoys almost no maternity leave during her career advancement and returns to work within a few weeks of giving birth, which increases the likelihood of young mothers developing gynecological diseases, which may appear several months and sometimes years later.

Major groups of diseases

Diseases of the female genital system are divided into 3 main groups: infectious, endocrine and neoplastic neoplasms.

Infectious

This group includes sexually transmitted infections: chlamydia, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, candidiasis and others. They are usually secreted, so the role of a prophylactic visit to the gynecologist is especially important to detect them.

Endocrine

Dysfunction of the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, and ovaries directly affects a woman’s ability to conceive, her quality of sex life, and even her appearance. Such diseases may be congenital and acquired. Today, this group is increasingly attributed to obesity, which leads to disruption of the menstrual cycle and infertility.

Tumor neoplasms

Benign and malignant tumors are the same problem today for both older and younger women. Fortunately, a malignant tumor is no longer a verdict, it is important to detect it at an early stage and start treatment early, which is another argument for a prophylactic visit, especially for those who have a positive hereditary predisposition to ovarian and uterine cancer.
