WOMB DISORDERS FACED BY WOMEN:
Gynecological problems encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the female reproductive system. These can include menstrual disorders like irregular periods or heavy bleeding, infections like yeast infections or STIs, and structural issues such as uterine fibroids or endometriosis. Additionally, gynecological cancers, hormonal imbalances like PCOS, and conditions like urinary incontinence also fall under this category.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Menstrual Disorders:
Irregular periods: Periods that are too frequent, too infrequent, or unpredictable in timing.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): Infection of the reproductive organs, often stemming from STIs.
3. Structural Issues:
Uterine fibroids:
Noncancerous tumors in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure.
Endometriosis:
Tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and fertility issues.
Ovarian cysts:
Fluid-filled sacs on the ovaries, often benign but can cause pain or complications.
Uterine prolapse:
The uterus slips down into the va**na.
4. Other Conditions:
Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS):
