Uterine incision diverticulum
Uterine niche is a pouch-like pathological structure formed by incomplete healing of the uterine incision after uterine surgery, resulting in discontinuity of the endometrium and myometrium at the incision site, protruding outside the uterine cavity. This condition is common after cesarean section. The main symptoms include abnormal vaginal bleeding and prolonged menstruation.

Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as vulvar white lesions, refers to a group of chronic diseases characterized by changes in the pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes of the female external genitalia. It is characterized by vulvar itching, and the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva show varying degrees of hypopigmentation, which can thicken into lichen-like changes or atrophy. Vulvar leukoplakia mainly includes chronic simple lichen simplex chronicus of the vulva and lichen sclerosus of the vulva.
View detailsBartholin's cyst
The Bartholin's glands are part of the female external genitalia, located on either side of the vaginal opening, posterior to the vestibular bulbs. Bartholin's cyst, also known as Bartholin's gland cyst, is formed when the opening of the Bartholin's gland duct becomes obstructed due to chronic inflammation, congenital duct stenosis, injury, or other causes, leading to the accumulation of secretions within the gland lumen. Small cysts are often asymptomatic, while larger cysts primarily manifest as a sensation of vulvar heaviness. Secondary infection of the cyst can lead to the formation of a Bartholin's gland abscess.
Intrauterine adhesions
Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) are a common gynecological condition caused by trauma to the uterine cavity, leading to damage of the endometrial basal layer. This results in partial or complete obliteration of the uterine cavity, causing symptoms such as menstrual abnormalities, infertility, or recurrent miscarriage. The main symptoms are menstrual abnormalities and abdominal pain. Some patients may also be asymptomatic.
View detailsEndometritis
Endometritis is an inflammatory response of the endometrium caused by infection. It commonly occurs in sexually active women with regular menstruation. Symptoms include lower abdominal pain, fever, abnormal vaginal discharge, or menstrual irregularities.
View detailsAdnexitis
Adnexitis refers to an inflammatory disease of the uterine adnexa (i.e., fallopian tubes and ovaries) caused by pathogen infection.

View detailsUterine prolapse
Uterine prolapse refers to the uterus descending from its normal position along the vagina, or even protruding outside the vagina. It can occur in women of any age, but is common in postmenopausal women who have experienced one or more vaginal deliveries. Mild cases are usually asymptomatic, while severe cases may present with lumbosacral pain or a feeling of heaviness, and a mass protruding from the vagina.
View detailsUterine malformations
Uterine malformation, also known as uterine developmental anomaly, is a congenital disorder and the most common type of reproductive organ malformation. It includes abnormal uterine morphology, septate uterus, didelphys uterus, unicornuate uterus, and hypoplastic uterus.
View detailsHPV infection
HPV infection refers to infection with the human papillomavirus. More than 100 types of HPV have been identified, each with its own number. HPV infection primarily causes proliferative lesions of human epidermis and mucous membranes. For example, high-risk HPV types (such as types 16 and 18) can cause vaginal and cervical intraepithelial lesions and are associated with the development of malignant tumors like cervical cancer; low-risk HPV types (such as types 6 and 11) can cause genital warts.
