3. INTRODUCTION
The female reproductive organs
include an array of parts that
influence health throughout a
person’s life. The reproductive system
undergoes significant changes during
the menstrual cycle, which starts
during puberty and ends
with menopause. If a person becomes
pregnant, it changes further to
accommodate a growing fetus.
Female reproductive anatomy also
influences sexual well-being and
creates hormones that regulate a wide
variety of functions around the body.

4. REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
The system consists of organs and tissues
inside the body and some that are visible
outside the body. The internal organs include:
• ovaries
• fallopian tubes
• uterus
• cervix
• vagina
Another organ, the clitoris, extends both
inside and outside the body. The external area
surrounding the vagina is the vulva.

5. o Not everyone who is assigned female at birth
has all of these organs. Sometimes, people
are born without some parts or with a
mixture of female and male characteristics.
This is known as intersex.
o Some people also undergo procedures to
remove some parts of the reproductive
system. Some of these procedures take place
for medical reasons, while others are the
result of harmful cultural practices, such
as female genital mutilation.
Taking care of women and making healthy
choices can help protect them and their loved
ones. Protecting the reproductive system also
means having control of health, if and when, one
becomes pregnant.

6. FEMALE GENITAL
MUTILATION
Female genital mutilation or cutting
(FGM/C) is defined by the World
Health Organization (WHO) as “all
procedures involving partial or total
removal of the external female
genitalia or other injury to the female
genital organs for non-medical
reasons.” These procedures could
mean piercing, cutting, removing, or
sewing closed all or part of a girl’s or
woman’s external genitals.

7. INFERTILITY
Infertility means not being able to get
pregnant after 1 year of trying. If a woman is
35 or older, infertility is based on 6 months of
trying to become pregnant. Women who can
get pregnant but are unable to stay pregnant
may also be considered infertile. About 10%
of women (6.1 million) in the United States
aged 15–44 years have difficulty getting
pregnant or staying pregnant.

8. DEPRESSION
• Monitoring the prevalence and treatment of
depression among reproductive-age
women, as well as postpartum depression,
which is widespread.
• Often, trying to get pregnant, being
pregnant, or the birth of a baby can increase
the risk for depression.
• Women may also feel depressed for many
other reasons and don’t even know why.
• Talking to a health care provider is a good first
step if they think they may suffer from
depression.

9. HYSTERECTOMY
Hysterectomy is the surgical removal
of a woman’s uterus. The uterus is
the place where a baby grows when a
woman is pregnant. Sometimes the
cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes
are also removed. Hysterectomies are
very common—1 of 3 women in the
United States has had one by age 60.

10. CONTRACEPTION
There are several safe and highly
effective methods of birth control
available to prevent unintended
pregnancy. These include intrauterine
contraception, hormonal and barrier
methods, and permanent birth
control (sterilization).
Using effective birth control methods
can greatly reduce the chances of
having an unintended pregnancy.

11. MENOPAUSE
• Menopause is a normal change in a
woman’s life when her period stops.
A woman has reached menopause
when she has not had a period for 12
months in a row. This often happens
between 45–55 years of age.
Menopause happens because the
woman’s ovary stops producing the
hormones estrogen and
progesterone.

12. Tips for reproductive healthcare
1. Make vaginal washing a part of your daily routine
2. Don't use soap
3. Don't scrub your intimate area
4. Clean from front to back
5. Use a wash with natural ingredients
6. Wear cotton underwear
7. Wear comfortable clothing

13. Make vaginal washing a part of your daily
routine
Intimate care isn’t something you should have to worry about
only when you start experiencing discomfort. Regular care and
preventive measures ensure you stay clean and healthy always.
Care shouldn’t be limited to washing only while bathing.
Women should wash their intimate areas 2-3 times, especially
during monsoons and menstrual cycles to keep infections at
bay.

14. Don't use soap
Soap has a Ph factor of 5.5 which is the same as your skin.
However, vaginal skin is very delicate and therefore Ph balance
ranges from 3.8 to 4.5. It is essential to maintain the Ph balance
to avoid dryness, soreness and irritation of the vagina as well as
check the growth of harmful bacteria.

15. Don't scrub your intimate area
Never scrub or use a brush on your vagina. Vaginal skin is very
delicate and you could end up with scratches and in pain. Use a
soft towel to wipe the region.
Clean from front to back
Always clean the intimate area from the front to the back. In
other words, clean the vagina first and move backwards
towards the anus. This will prevent harmful bacteria that reside
in the anus from infecting the vagina.

16. Use a wash with natural ingredients
Artificial chemicals make the vagina dry. However, naturally
occurring chemicals like lactic acid help maintain the Ph
balance and help restore smoothness of the vaginal area.
Natural oils like Tea Tree Oil and Sea buck Thorn Oil are known
for their soothing quality and fresh natural fragrance.

17. Wear cotton underwear
Cotton is the softest and most skin friendly fabric. It allows for
air circulation and absorbs moisture quickly. While silk and satin
underwear can be worn on special occasions, cotton underwear
can be worn on a daily basis.
Wear comfortable clothing
Avoid tight fitting clothes as they restrict air circulation and
cause the vaginal area to get compressed or creased in an
unnatural way.

18. 1.Eat food produced without pesticides (certified organic) when possible.
2.Avoid unnecessary exposure to or use of chemicals, particularly garden and indoor chemicals.
3.Minimise the use of personal care and cosmetic products containing hazardous chemicals, especially during
and before pregnancy.
4.Look at labels to avoid certain chemicals linked to hormone disruption.
5.Keep rooms well aired and vacuum clean and dust regularly to remove chemicals that can be found indoors.

20. Tips for a Healthy Female Reproductive System
1. Maintain a healthy lifestyle
2. Quit smoking
3. Go for regular screenings -With aging, getting a
trusted gynecologist may be a great idea
4. Practice safe sex
5. Have regular orgasms- Orgasms trigger the release of
healthy hormones and prompt the contraction of the
uterus, which can help ease and detoxify your body.
6. Increase consumption of calcium and magnesium
