View detailsInvasive mole
Invasive mole is a borderline tumor that occurs after a hydatidiform mole, falling between a hydatidiform mole (benign) and choriocarcinoma (malignant). It can metastasize, with lung metastasis being the most common. Most cases occur within 6 months after the evacuation of the hydatidiform mole. The main symptoms include vaginal bleeding, abnormal uterine enlargement, symptoms related to metastatic lesions (specific manifestations depend on the location, with local bleeding being a common feature of all metastatic sites), and abdominal pain.
Uterine sarcoma
Uterine sarcoma is a rare type of malignant tumor of the uterus originating from the endometrial stroma, connective tissue, or smooth muscle. It can be classified into three types: endometrial stromal sarcoma, malignant mixed Mullerian tumor, and uterine leiomyosarcoma (the most common). This disease is most common in people aged 50-59 years. Early symptoms are not obvious. As the disease progresses, the main symptoms include irregular vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and abdominal mass.
View detailsUterine septum
Uterine septum is the most common female reproductive tract malformation, resulting from factors during embryonic development. It is characterized by a septum within the uterus, altering the symmetrical shape of the uterine cavity. Patients are usually asymptomatic and are often diagnosed with uterine septum when they experience infertility, miscarriage, or premature birth during their reproductive years.
View detailsSenile vaginitis
Senile vaginitis refers to the inflammation caused by the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria due to the decline of ovarian function, decreased estrogen levels, vaginal wall atrophy, and reduced local resistance to viruses in postmenopausal women. It is common in women after natural or artificial menopause, mainly presenting as abnormal vaginal discharge, vulvar itching, and burning.
View detailsMenopause
Menopause is an inevitable process in every woman's life, characterized by the permanent cessation of menstruation due to ovarian failure. Clinically, menopause can be diagnosed in women over 40 years old who have not experienced menstruation for 12 months after their last menstrual period, excluding pregnancy. The average age of natural menopause for Chinese women is 49.5 years, ranging from 45 to 55 years. Menopause occurring between 40 and 45 years of age is termed early menopause, while menopause before 40 years of age is referred to as premature ovarian insufficiency. Based on the cause, menopause can be classified into two types: natural menopause and artificial menopause. Natural menopause: This is a normal physiological phenomenon resulting from the age-related depletion of ovarian follicles and subsequent loss of ovarian function. Artificial menopause: This refers to menopause induced by surgical removal of both ovaries or damage to the ovaries caused by radiation exposure (e.g., radiotherapy).

Salpingitis refers to an infectious disease of the fallopian tubes, and it is the most common infectious disease of the female upper reproductive tract. It typically has a high incidence in young, sexually active individuals and can manifest as lower abdominal pain, fever, and increased vaginal discharge.
View detailsTrauma of female genital organs
Female genital organ trauma includes third-degree perineal laceration, urinary fistula, fecal fistula, uterine prolapse, ovarian rupture, and vaginal prolapse. Third-degree perineal laceration, also known as complete perineal laceration, involves lacerations of the vaginal opening, perineum, and anal sphincter. In severe cases, the rupture can extend to the rectal wall, causing fecal and gas incontinence. It is often caused by improper management during childbirth, and occasionally by external trauma. Prolapse diseases include uterine prolapse, anterior vaginal wall prolapse, and posterior vaginal wall prolapse. When female genital organs communicate with adjacent urinary or intestinal tracts due to injury, a urinary fistula or fecal fistula is formed.
