Reproductive System

Me and my partner will talk about
the diseases of the reproductive system.
We will talk about the diseases for us to
be aware of the diseases. As well as by
taking care of our reproductive system.

         The disease we've mentioned is
the fallopian cancer. Fallopian tube cancer develops in the tubes that lead from the ovaries to the uterus. Symptoms of fallopian cancer include vague abdominal discomfort, bloating, and pain in the pelvic area or abdomen. Some women have a watery discharge from the vagina. When cancer is advanced, the abdominal cavity may fill with fluid (a condition called ascites), and women may feel a large lump (mass) in the pelvis. The causes are Long-term (chronic) inflammation of the fallopian tubes (chronic salpingitis) and infertility. The second one is the ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer, which typically starts on the surface of the ovaries, is not usually diagnosed until it is advanced. The first symptom may be vague discomfort in the lower abdomen, similar to indigestion. Other symptoms may include bloating, loss of appetite (because the stomach is compressed), gas pains, and backache. Ovarian cancer rarely causes vaginal bleeding. Eventually, the abdomen may swell because the ovary enlarges or fluid accumulates in the abdomen (called ascites). At this stage, pain in the pelvic area, anemia, and weight loss are common.
The risk factors are having a first-degree relative (mother, sister, or daughter) who has had ovarian cancer, having menopause late. 

           The treatment of the fallopian tube cancer is usually, removal of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, adjacent lymph 
nodes, and surrounding tissues, as well as chemotherapy. Treatment of fallopian tube cancer almost always consists of removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) and removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes (salpingo-oophorectomy), adjacent lymph nodes, and surrounding tissues. These procedures are usually done when surgery to stage the cancer is done. Sometimes surgery to stage and treat fallopian cancer can be done using a laparoscope. Chemotherapy (as for ovarian cancer) is usually necessary after surgery. Chemotherapy may be used to destroy any small areas of cancer that may remain. The most commonly used chemotherapy drugs are carboplatin plus paclitaxel. Radiation therapy is rarely useful. The treatment of the ovarian cancer is usually removal of ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus, removal of all tissue that appears affected (cytoreductive surgery), and chemotherapy.
