Fallopian tube obstruction
Tubal obstruction is a partial or complete blockage of the fallopian tubes caused by various factors such as infection, injury, inflammation, and pelvic adhesions. It is common in young women and often presents without obvious symptoms, but can lead to infertility.
View detailsEndometrial cancer
Endometrial cancer refers to a group of epithelial malignant tumors originating from the endometrium, with adenocarcinoma, which arises from the endometrial glands, being the most common type. This disease predominantly affects women over 50 years of age. Key symptoms include postmenopausal vaginal bleeding or vaginal discharge.
View detailsPelvic inflammatory disease
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, or surrounding organs, caused by bacteria ascending from the vagina through the cervix. It is a common disease among women. PID predominantly affects sexually active young and middle-aged women. Key symptoms include lower abdominal pain, a sensation of heaviness in the pelvis, abnormal vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding, and fever.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common gynecological endocrine disorder characterized primarily by chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism. It commonly affects adolescent and reproductive-aged women. Key symptoms include hirsutism, obesity, menstrual irregularities, polycystic changes in both ovaries, and infertility.
View detailsOvarian tumor
Ovarian tumor refers to a tumor that occurs on the ovary and is one of the common gynecological tumors. According to pathological characteristics, it can be divided into three categories: benign, malignant, and borderline (having characteristics of both benign and malignant tumors). This disease is common in women aged 50-60 years. In the early stage, this disease often has no obvious symptoms. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, ascites, abdominal mass, frequent urination, urgency, lower limb edema, emaciation, and anemia may appear.
View detailsEctopic pregnancy
Ectopic pregnancy, commonly known as extrauterine pregnancy, refers to the attachment and growth of a fertilized egg outside the uterine cavity, with tubal pregnancy accounting for approximately 95% of cases. The main symptoms include amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding.
View detailsCervical cancer
Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the vaginal part and cervical canal due to the uncontrolled growth of cervical cells. It is the most common gynecological malignancy. The main symptoms include irregular vaginal bleeding, increased vaginal discharge, and dyspareunia. Some cervical cancers may also be asymptomatic.
View detailsCervical precancerous lesions
Cervical precancerous lesions refer to abnormal proliferative lesions of the cervix that have a tendency to become cancerous but cannot be diagnosed as carcinoma in situ. They represent a transitional period in the development of cervical cancer, possessing the potential to evolve into malignant tumors, and prolonged existence may lead to transformation into cancer. This condition is common in young women. This condition typically presents with no obvious symptoms, though there may occasionally be increased vaginal discharge, post-coital bleeding, or blood-tinged leucorrhea. Common Questions Q: Are cervical precancerous lesions cancer? A: Cervical precancerous lesions are not cancer. The development of cervical cancer is a relatively long process, requiring several years or even decades of evolution. The process involves tissue lesions → cervical precancerous lesions → cervical cancer. However, this evolution represents the worst-case scenario, and the occurrence of cervical precancerous lesions does not mean that 100% of the uterus will develop cervical cancer. During this period, timely and effective treatment for cervical precancerous lesions, such as cold knife conization, LEEP procedure, or total hysterectomy, can effectively prevent the progression of cervical precancerous lesions to cervical cancer.
View detailsInfertility
Infertility may be diagnosed if a couple has regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for more than one year and still fails to conceive. The causes of infertility can be complex and diverse, potentially stemming from issues in the reproductive system or hormone levels of either partner. When the cause lies with the female, it is termed female infertility; when it lies with the male, it is termed male infertility. Currently, the incidence of infertility in China is 6% to 15%, meaning approximately 1 in 10 couples may experience infertility. This proportion is likely to continue to increase as more people choose to marry and have children later in life.
