Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can vary in size and number. A big fibroid can misshape the interiors and exteriors of the uterus. Fibroids occur during childbearing years and can be large enough to fill the pelvis or stomach area.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
PID is an infection that affects the reproductive organs in females. Generally, PID occurs when sexually transmitted diseases are spread from the vagina to the uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries. Normal bacteria in the vagina can also cause PID. Left untreated, it can cause scar tissue and infected fluid pockets that can cause permanent damage.
Vaginitis
Vaginitis is the inflammation of the vagina that can cause itching, pain and discharge. Bacteria, parasites, fungi, and chemicals in creams or personal hygiene products can cause vaginitis. It can also occur due to sexually transmitted infections or vaginal dryness caused by estrogen levels. Vaginitis is common in women during their reproductive years.
Amenorrhea
This condition is characterized by the absence of periods. Primary amenorrhea in women is the absence of periods till the age of 15. Anatomical issues and hormonal disruptions can cause primary amenorrhea. Secondary amenorrhea occurs due to the lack of three or more periods in women who have had periods in the past. Pregnancy, stress, lactation and chronic illness could cause secondary amenorrhea.
