Dysregulation of immune cells can lead to various gynecological disorders:
- Endometriosis: An aberrant immune response may contribute to the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. - Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): An infection of the upper reproductive tract often involves an influx of neutrophils and macrophages. - Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions like lupus can affect the reproductive organs, where immune cells mistakenly attack self-tissues. - Gynecological Cancers: In ovarian and cervical cancers, immune cells like T cells and NK cells play roles in tumor surveillance and progression.
