Reproductive System
The reproductive system is responsible for the production of offspring. It is made up of organs and structures that work together to produce and transport reproductive cells and hormones. In females, the reproductive system includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina. In males, it includes the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and penis.
Common issues related to the reproductive system in females include menstrual disorders, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In males, common issues include erectile dysfunction, prostate problems, and testicular cancer.
Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider and practicing safe sex can help prevent and detect potential reproductive system problems. It’s important to understand the changes that occur in the reproductive system throughout different stages of life, such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause.
