The document discusses several common diseases in the female reproductive system. Fibrocystic breast disease causes painful lumps in the breasts and is linked to hormone fluctuations. Dysmenorrhea results in painful menstruation due to high prostaglandin levels. Vaginismus is an involuntary spasm of the vaginal muscles that causes pain during intercourse. Endometriosis occurs when uterine tissue grows outside the uterus, leading to pelvic pain and infertility. The document provides information on symptoms, causes, and treatment options for each condition.
