Female genital organs include the uterus, vagina, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. They are involved in the secretion of female hormones, production of eggs, and pregnancy. Tissues and cells in female genital organs vary in appearance depending on the age owing to the effects of menstruation, childbirth, and menopause. Female genital diseases are classified into benign (vaginitis, hysteroptosis, prolapse of uterus, uterine fibroid, and endometriosis), malignant (uterine cervical cancer, uterine body cancer, and ovarian cancer), and functional disorders (menstrual disorders, functional genital bleeding, climacteric disorder, and infertility).
