The reproductive system is a combination of bodily organs and tissues used in the process of producing offspring.
Diseases and disorders include:
• Cervical Cancer – Cervical cancer results in a malignant tumor of the cervix.
• Prostate Cancer – This type of cancer occurs in a man’s prostate, a small sized gland that produces seminal fluid.
• Vaginal Yeast Infection – This is an infection caused by a yeast fungus in the vagina.
• Endometriosis – Endometriosis is a condition where tissue that normally lines the uterus ends up outside the uterus.
• Gonorrhea – Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection that may cause infertility if left untreated.
• Erectile Dysfunction – This occurs when a man can’t keep or get an erection during sexual intercourse.
Ayurveda is a lifestyle and following its principles are essential for reproductive health and wellness of parents and their offspring.
