MALE AND FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

- 1) Produces female egg cells necessary for reproduction -  Oocytes or ova - * system designed to send the ova to site of fertilization  2) Fertilization of an egg by sperm in fallopian tubes - 3) Production of female sex hormones to maintain reproductive cycle

 Amenorrhea  Dysmenorrhea  Fibroids : Uterine fibroids (leiomyoma) are non-cancerous growths that develop in or just outside a woman’s uterus (womb). Uterine fibroids develop from normal uterus muscle cells that start growing abnormally. As the cells grow, they form a benign tumor.

 Endometriosis: is a condition in which the tissue that behaves like the cells lining the uterus (endometrium) grows in other areas of the body, causing pain, irregular bleeding, and possible infertility.

Ectopic pregnancy: An ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy that occurs outside the womb (uterus). The baby (fetus) cannot survive, and often does not develop at all in this type of pregnancy.

 Pelvic inflammatory disease: is an infection of a woman's pelvic organs including the uterus (womb), Fallopian tubes (tubes), ovaries, and cervix. develops as the result of spread of a sexually transmitted disease mostly as a result of Gonorrhea and/or Chlamydia.

Its is also known as the urogenital system because both the reproductive and urinary systems in males merge. It consists of:  Testes  Epididymis  Vas Deferens  Ejaculatory ducts  Urethra  Penis  Prostrate and accessory glands

 Hypospadias - literally "below the fleshy spike". A condition in which the external urinary meatus (opening) opens anywhere below the tip of the penis rather than at the tip.  Hydrocele - a fluid filled sac partially surrounding the testis. Manifests itself as a swelling on the side of the scrotum. May cause discomfort. Can be surgically corrected. And, who would most likely be doing the surgery? A urologist!

 Cryptorchidism - literally "hidden testicle". A condition of lack of descent of one or both testes into the scrotum. If not corrected, usually by surgery, before puberty, can lead to sterility and increased risk of testicular cancer.  Varicocele - dilated and twisted veins of the testis, sort of "hemorrhoids" of the scrotum! Manifests itself as a swelling on the side of the scrotum which may look and feel like a "bag of worms". May be surgically corrected if causing discomfort. This condition may also cause reduced sperm count and male sterility due to sluggish blood flow elevating testicular temperature.
