What are the serious gynecological diseases?

Gynecological diseases are diseases of women, referring to diseases of the female reproductive system. The main cause of gynecological diseases is that people have weak health awareness, do not pay enough attention to the hygiene of their private parts, or have some bad living habits. When facing gynecological diseases, people need to actively understand their symptoms and then take measures to treat them. Here we will introduce some serious gynecological diseases.

1. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding

It is the name of a disease in modern medicine, which refers to uterine bleeding caused by ovarian dysfunction, referred to as "functional uterine bleeding".

2. Vaginal cancer

Vaginal cancer is a rare vaginal malignancy that can be divided into two types: primary and secondary.

3. Vulvar cancer

Vulvar cancer is a malignant tumor of the vulva and is not uncommon.

4. Ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in ovarian tissue. Clinically, symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, abdominal mass, menstrual disorders, and compression may occur.

5. Cervical cancer

Cancerous changes in the epithelial cells lining the cervical vagina or endocervical canal. From the tissue point of view, cervical squamous cell carcinoma and uterine cervix are the main ones.

6. Uterine cancer

It usually refers to uterine body cancer, that is, endometrial cancer. Symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding may appear in the early stages.

7. Hydatidiform mole

Blister-like fetal masses are caused by abnormal proliferation of trophoblastic cells of the placental villi after pregnancy, which causes the terminal villi to turn into blisters, and the connections between the blisters are shaped like a bunch of grapes.

8. Cervicitis

Cervicitis is a common disease among women of childbearing age. It can be divided into two types: acute and chronic. Chronic cervicitis is the most common type in clinical practice.

9. Vaginitis

Vaginitis is a common disease in gynecological clinics. Clinically, the main clinical features are changes in the nature of leucorrhea and itching and burning pain in the vulva. Dyspareunia is also common.

10. Pelvic inflammatory disease

When the female internal reproductive organs (such as the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and pelvic peritoneum) and the surrounding connective tissue and pelvic peritoneum become inflamed, it is called pelvic inflammatory disease.

11. Adnexitis

It refers to inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. However, fallopian tube and oophoritis are often accompanied by parametrial connective tissue inflammation and pelvic peritonitis, and are difficult to distinguish during diagnosis.

12. Choriocarcinoma

Also known as choriocarcinoma, it is a highly malignant trophoblastic tumor that mainly occurs in women of childbearing age and is called "gestational choriocarcinoma."

13. Uterine prolapse

The damage and weakening of the supporting tissue of the uterus causes the uterus to descend along the vagina, the external cervical opening to drop below the level of the ischial spine, and the uterus completely protrudes out of the vaginal opening.

14. Uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive organs. They mostly occur in middle-aged women, with a higher incidence in women aged 30 to 50.

15. Premature ovarian failure

The ovarian function of normal women begins to decline between the ages of 45 and 50. If signs of decline appear before the age of 40, it is medically called premature ovarian failure.

16. Vaginismus

Before or during sexual intercourse, the vagina and pelvic floor muscles surrounding the lower 1/3 of the vagina undergo involuntary, intense, and continuous spasmodic contractions.

17. Endometritis

It is an inflammation of the endometrium. According to the length of the disease course, it can be divided into acute endometritis and chronic endometritis.

18. Endometriosis

Under normal circumstances, the endometrium covers the surface of the uterine cavity. If due to certain factors, the endometrium grows in other parts of the body.

19. Abnormal genital development

Including vaginal atresia, double vagina, double cervix, uterine septate, didelphys, etc.
