What are some common underlying medical conditions affecting gynecological health?
Several underlying medical conditions can significantly impact a woman's gynecological health. Some of the most common include:
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges. - Endometriosis: A painful disorder where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside the uterus. - Fibroids: Noncancerous growths in the uterus that can develop during a woman's childbearing years. - Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): An infection of the female reproductive organs often caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs). - Thyroid Disorders: Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can impact menstrual cycles and overall reproductive health.
