Womens health
Women’s diseases, namely, are the diseases of the female genital organs. It is an important aspect of women’s health component, in addition to genetic factors, nutritional factors, lifestyle, and environment. The special study of women’s diseases is Gynecology.
Women’s diseases such as inflammatory diseases of the female genital organs, endometriosis, menstrual disorders, female infertility are increasing; a large concern is taken due to the rise of number of sexually transmitted infections and HIV, also high levels of cancers of female genital organs: breast, uterine, cervical uterus, ovaries.
Women’s diseases occur at any age. Women’s diseases are caused by various infectious (bacteria, viruses, protozoa) and non-infectious factors such as hormone imbalance in women, emotional stress, low immunity, unbalanced diet, smoking, alcohol abuse, etc.
Women’s disease are manifested by many of the symptoms, the most frequent of which are: menstrual disorders, various kinds of pain in the abdomen, discharge and bleeding from the genital tract. When you see such symptoms, you should immediately consult a gynecologist and avoid self-medication, as timely initiation of treatment of female diseases, appointed a specialist, in most cases ends in recovery. Diseases of female genital mutilation can become chronic, if you delay the start of treatment or due to improper treatment.
In any case, it is better to prevent the disease, that to treat it. And today the diagnostic department can boast of numerous new methods of diagnosis and treatment. Many women’s diseases can result in genital mutilation, female infertility causes and, consequently, lower fertility rates. Therefore, adequate treatment of gynecological disorders contributes to the improvement of demographic situation in our country (increase fertility).
In modern cities, with their tight rhythm, constant stress and the usual smog rise of the number of women suffering from gynecological diseases is no surprise. And statistics says, that amongst those suffering from women’s disease are even young girls. Now vulvitis, vulvovaginitis, and other purely feminine diseases, are increasingly common at girls’ primary school and even preschool.
Often the symptoms of these diseases are minimal and do not cause particular concern among women, especially in various states of inflammatory or infectious nature, but the effects can be unpredictable, up to generalized lesions of internal organs and infertility. Therefore, one should not underestimate these diseases and their have the treatment delayed.
All gynecological diseases can be divided into three groups:
- I Group – inflammatory diseases. Usually, they may be pathogen-specific (sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis, gonorrhea or tuberculosis of genital organs) and nonspecific. The latter can get into the body of a woman through the reproductive system from the outside and may cause the already mentioned vulvitis or vulvovaginitis, or be included with blood from other internal foci of inflammation (salpingoophoritis, endometritis, or even parametritis).
- II Group – hormone diseases caused by disturbances in the endocrine glands.
- III group – the diseases of degenerative hyperplastic nature. This group includes a variety of tumors, and cysts.
Our site is largely dedicated to the inflammatory diseases. This problem in gynecology is one of the most important, not only because of its prevalence. Often, untreated inflammatory diseases of female genitalia can even lead to cancer that normally gives bad prognosis.
On these pages we try to describe a variety of diseases and conditions in simple and understandable words, tell about their symptoms, course, prognosis, and treatment principles. However, do not perceive this site as a guide to self-medicate. An accurate diagnosis can be made only by a specialist after a full physical and laboratory examinations. Also, he/she will prescribe an individual treatment, based on the characteristics of the disease, premorbid background, and many other factors. Our goal is to give you information that will help to evaluate the symptoms and seek medical attention promptly.
In recent years, the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections among women has reached alarming proportions, especially among young women. Many girls become sexually active early and do not much care about the intelligibility of a partner, explaining that the sexual revolution has taken place long ago and a woman has the right to choose. Unfortunately, the fact that the right to choose implies promiscuity and “a right” to a disease. Young girls have to deal with consequences later, being treated for infertility caused by infections. There are other causes of female infections: a woman infected by her husband, or just through everyday life.
It is known that the female body is less resistant to the agents of sexually transmitted infections than the male body. Studies have shown that the reason for this fact is the female hormones. Therefore, women lurks another danger – the use of hormone therapy. However, the application of hormonal contraceptives increases their susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections, including HIV and herpes viruses.
The main symptoms of gynecological disorders are the profuse discharge from the genital tract with an unpleasant odor, burning, itching. If the patient fails to seek medical help, you can develop bacterial vaginosis, which is an inflammation of the vagina that affects the internal female sex organs, and once again becoming the cause of infertility.
Another complication of genital infections among women develops in all cases of infection – a bacteria overgrowth, or dysbiosis, that is a violation of the vaginal flora. The reason of it is that any agent of sexually transmitted infections, falling into the genital tract of women, therefore violating the natural microflora, replacing it with pathogenic. As a result, inflammation of the vagina develops, which can affect other organs of the female reproductive system – ovary and uterus. Therefore, the main task of the treatment of any women’s sexual infection is first to destroy the agent of the disease, and then carry out the restoration of microflora in the vagina and strengthen immunity.
Diagnosis and treatment of gynecological diseases are carried out successfully only if the patient promptly go to the doctor. Furthermore, it is necessary to treat not only the woman but also her sexual partner, or she will be very quickly re-infected, which will lead to even more serious consequence than the ones mentioned above. Consequently, when the first signs of genital infection (pain, itching, burning, discharge and odor from the genital tract) or signs of infection of sexual partners of woman appear, one should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment immediately.
