What are the common Female reproductive system disorders…?

Listed below are the common health disorders found in females:

Irregular Periods:

·        A normal menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, plus or minus seven days.

·        Women who have missed at least three menstrual periods in a row are diagnosed as amenorrhea, as do girls who haven't begun menstruation by age 15.

 

·        Causes: A hormonal imbalance is the most common cause of secondary amenorrhea which can occur as a result of tumors on the pituitary gland or an overactive thyroid gland.

 

 

Menorrhagia:

·        Abnormal heavy and prolonged bleeding in menstruation causing excess loss of blood.

 

·        Causes: Uterine fibroids which are non-cancerous(benign) tumors of the uterus appear during your childbearing years are common causes. Endometriosis is another common cause. Structural abnormalities in the reproductive tract, anovulation, bleeding disorders, hormone issues (such as hypothyroidism) or cancer of the reproductive tract are other causes.

 

 

Dysmenorrhoea

·        Painful menstrual cycles involving severe abdominal cramps due to atonic contractions of the uterus in menstruation.

 

·        Causes: Primary dysmenorrhea is thought to be caused by excessive levels of prostaglandins, hormones that make your uterus contract during menstruation and childbirth. Its pain probably results from contractions of your uterus that occur when the blood supply to its lining (endometrium) is reduced.

·        Secondary dysmenorrhea may be caused due to endometriosis or uterine fibroids.

 

Premenstrual Syndrome:

·        Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a physiological condition that affects a woman's emotions, physical health, and behavior during certain days of the menstrual cycle, generally just before menses (one or two weeks).
