Female Reproductive Anatomy
Women's Reproductive Health
Explore some of women’s most common reproductive health concerns.
Placing high priority on reproductive health, we look at antenatal care, pregnancy, reproductive anatomy, and menopause to support you and broaden your understanding.
Female Reproductive Anatomy
The female reproductive anatomy consists of organs like the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina. These organs work together to allow for reproduction and childbirth. Understanding this anatomy can help women make informed choices about their reproductive health.
Pelvic Floor Muscles
The pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles that support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, and rectum. These muscles can weaken due to pregnancy, childbirth, ageing, or certain medical conditions, leading to problems like urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.
HPV and Cervical Cancer
What do you know about Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Most cases of cervical cancer are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which is transmitted through sexual contact.
Symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pain during intercourse, or pelvic pain. Regular cervical screening can detect abnormalities within the cells of the cervix before they turn cancerous.
Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy, depending on the stage and severity of the cancer. HPV vaccination can also help prevent cervical cancer.

The Anatomy of Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, grows outside the uterus, often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other organs in the pelvic region. The tissue can cause inflammation, scarring, and pain. Common symptoms include severe menstrual cramps, chronic pelvic pain, painful intercourse, and infertility.
Treatment options may include pain medication, hormone therapy, or surgery to remove the abnormal tissue. Endometriosis can significantly impact a person's quality of life and may lead to fertility problems. It is estimated to affect up to 10% of reproductive-aged women.

C-Section Aftercare
After a C-section, it is important to rest and avoid heavy lifting for several weeks. Pain medication can help manage discomfort. Breastfeeding, walking, and gentle exercises can aid in recovery.
Coping with losing a baby
Losing a baby can be a devastating experience. Taking time to grieve, practising self-care, and finding ways to honour your baby such as seeking support are helpful.
Understanding Hormones
Understanding hormones can help women manage their health. Hormonal changes can impact energy levels and physical symptoms. Learning about hormone imbalances can help with any concerns.
Healthy Eating
Eating a healthy diet can provide essential nutrients and is important for the health of the mother and baby. Avoiding certain foods can also reduce the risk of complications.
