GYNECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS
The gynecological organs include the ovaries, where during fertile years ova (eggs) are produced, the fallopian tubes, and the uterus (womb). At the lower end of the uterus is the cervix, which protrudes into the vagina. The cervix has an opening to allow menstrual blood (or babies) to pass from the uterus. The vagina contains a special lining that is kept smooth and supple by female hormones. Its many glands produce a lubricating fluid during sexual excitement. The clitoris, which elicits sexual pleasure when stimulated, lies just above the entrance to the vagina. The vulva is the external fold of skin that encloses the vagina.
Most women begin their menstrual cycles sometime in their early teens. During fertile years periods are more or less regular. The periods may gradually become irregular as menopause approaches, or they may be regular until menopause,
when they suddenly stop. At the time of menopause, you may have experienced a combination of uncomfortable symptoms, including hot flashes with sweating, headaches, depression, and sleep disturbances. You may have been given female replacement hormones, which probably modified the symptoms and returned you to a feeling of well-being. Some women have no discomfort at all during menopause.
You may feel that if you are no longer sexually active, you should no longer have any problems with your gynecological system. But as you grow older, gynecological problems can still develop, and they should not be neglected. A pelvic examination and a “Pap” smear should be part of your periodic checkup.
