The most common diseases of the reproductive organs include venereal diseases , breast cancer as the most common cancer in women and benign prostate enlargement in men. In addition, vaginal infections, fibroids or menstrual abnormalities are common in women.
Stigmatization of STDs
Diseases of the genital organs are often still stigmatized by those affected with the stigma of “having something offensive,” despite many educational campaigns, are considered a taboo subject, and are then treated late due to misunderstood shame, which can lead to further spread of the pathogens in the case of contagious infectious diseases and to poorer chances of recovery in the case of cancer.
Childlessness
In addition, up to 20% of all partnerships in industrialized countries now remain childless, with the causes being approximately 30% each in the man, the woman, or both partners. A couple is considered infertile if no pregnancy occurs despite unprotected sexual intercourse over a period of one to two years.
