- Cervical erosion
Cervical erosion more than often does not manifest with any symptoms. It can be a hard one to pin down. Only frequent visits to the gynecologist will prevent you from being unaware that you are suffering from cervical erosion. Prolonged time without proper treatment can lead to the development of chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases and infertility. You want to seriously prevent erosion that causes your cervix to take a malignant formation. This will cause tremendous problems. For this reason, it is important to identify this ailment as soon as possible.
- Colpitis
This insidious disease comes in the form of inflammation of the vaginal mucosa. The inflammation is oftentimes caused by certain bacteria contracted from an active sex life. This bacterium can come from chlamydia, trichomonads, mycoplasmas, streptococci, staphylococcus, hemophilic rod, candida, gonococcus, etc. Maintaining safe sex practices will eliminate your chances of contracting Colpitis. Speak to your OBGYN if you feel that you are developing inflammation in the areas surrounding your pelvis, lower abdomen, and ovaries.

Adnexitis causes inflammation in the fallopian tubes or the ovaries. This inflammation can lead to infertility in about one in every fifth woman who contracts Adnexitis. Adnexitis originally occurs due to microorganisms inside of a woman’s body. Returning to an active sex life after having a baby too soon can also cause Adnexitis.
It is recommended that you seek immediate help if you feel that you have inflammation in the pelvic or uterine area.

If you are experiencing the urge to urinate, fever, pain during sex, and back pain, seek out your OBGYN immediately.

This can be triggered by any number of birth complications or other complications associated with delivering a baby.

These are the most common gynecological diseases that affect women. With frequent checkups and paying constant attention to the signals your body is sending you, you can prevent the onset of major problems.
