Trichomonas
: Called
“trick” – caused by a
single-celled organism
that is a member of the
protozoa family of
micro-organisms. When
this organism infects the
vagina it can cause
frothy, greenish-yellow
discharge.
Vaginitis
: Inflammation
of the vagina; referring
to an infection due to
bacteria, yeast, or other
pathogen that results in
discomfort, itching,
and/or abnormal
discharge.
Toxic Shock Syndrome
:
A very rare but
potentially fatal illness
cause by a bacterial
toxin.

BSM
Ovarian cysts
: Fluid-filled
sacks that can form on the
ovary when one or more of
the egg-containing follicles
mature but do not release the
egg into the fallopian tube.
Pelvic inflammatory disease
:
Inflammation of the female
pelvic organs (especially
fallopian tubes) cause by
infection by any of several
microorganisms.
Prolapse
: The slipping of an
organ (e.g. uterus/vagina).
Pre-eclampsia
: A condition
of pregnancy characterized
by a sharp rise in blood
pressure, albuminuria
(large leakage of protein
albumin in the urine), and
oedema (swelling) of the
hands, feet, and face; the
most common complication
of pregnancy.
Gonorrhoea
: A common
venereal disease caused by
bacterium
Neisseria
gonorrhoea
; symptoms
include painful urination
and pain around the
urethra.

BSM
Chlamydia
: A sexually
transmitted infection caused by
bacteria of the genus
Chlamydia;
May cause genital inflammation,
discharge, pelvic pain, and fever.
Menorrhagia
: Abnormally heavy
or prolonged menstruation; can
be a symptom of uterine
tumours and can lead to
anaemia.
Prostatitis
: Inflammation of the
prostate gland characterized by
perineal pain, irregular urination,
chill, and fever.
Menopause
: The time of a
woman's life in which menstrual
cycle ends.
Benign prostatic enlargement
hyperplasia
: Abnormal increase
in tissue growth caused by
excessive cell division.
Frigidity
: A sexual
unresponsiveness and inability to
achieve orgasm during
intercourse.
Impotence
: An inability to
copulate.
Infertility
: The biological inability
of a person to contribute to
conception; A woman is unable
to carry a pregnancy to full term.

BSM
Amenorrhoea
: Caused by
hypersecretion of
testosterone in females,
other hormonal imbalances,
stress, radical weight loss,
anaemia, excessive exercise;
The absence of
menstruation.
Dysmenorrhoea
: Spasm or
congestion of the uterus,
imbalance in hormones or
painful disturbances;
Menstruation is painful and
difficult.
Hysterectomy
: An operation
in which the uterus is
removed.
Pre-menstrual syndrome
: Onset
of menstruation one week
before; Depression, irritability,
bloating, water retention,
swollen breasts, and
restlessness are all symptoms.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome
:
Stein Leventhal syndrome;
Hypersecretion of female sex
hormones – luteinising
hormone; Irregular
menstruation, multiple growth
of follicular ovarian cysts,
sometimes infertility, enlarged
ovaries; 50% of patients are
obese and become hirsute –
hairy; age range usually 16-30.
