An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most commonly in a fallopian tube, making it non-viable and dangerous. Symptoms include missed periods, abnormal vaginal bleeding, and severe abdominal pain. It is often caused by damaged or blocked fallopian tubes. This condition requires immediate medical treatment or surgery to prevent rupture and internal bleeding, with potential for long-term impacts on fertility.

Endometriosis is a chronic, often painful, disease where tissue similar to the uterus lining grows outside it, affecting 10% of reproductive-age women. It causes severe pelvic pain, infertility, and chronic inflammation. While incurable, it is managed through surgery and hormone therapy to relieve symptoms

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, characterized by irregular periods, excess androgen levels, and/or small ovarian cysts. It often causes weight gain, acne, and infertility. While the exact cause is unknown, it involves genetic, hormonal, and insulin resistance factors, with treatment focused on lifestyle changes, diet, and medication.
