The female reproductive organs are called ovaries. The ovaries produce two hormones known as estrogen, and progesterone. These hormones are also responsible for developing and maintaining female secondary sexual characteristics or traits, as well as maintaining pregnancy. Female secondary sexual characteristics include a high pitched voice, lack of facial and body hair, smooth skin, increased body fat, a decrease of muscle mass, increase in sexual drive, and enlargement of the breasts. Along with the pituitary hormones, they also control the menstrual cycle, and the maturing of the female eggs for reproduction. 

 

The most common change in ovarian hormone production is during the beginning of menopause. Menopause can also occur when the ovaries are surgically removed or when put on certain medications. When this occurs, you have a decrease in estrogen levels, which causes hot flashes, thinning vaginal tissue, hair loss, decrease or lack of menstrual periods, mood changes, and bone loss (osteoporosis).

 

Problems caused by the ovaries include: 

	Low back pain		Low sex drive
	Headaches		Delayed puberty
	Abdominal pain		Decrease in any secondary sexual characteristics
	Sciatica		which would include a deepened voice,
	Mood swings		increase inbody and facial hair, lack of ,
	Erratic body changes		sexual drive and rough skin.
	Lack of energy		Painful menstrual cycles
			Erratic menstrual cycles

 

 

If you suffer and consider 4 of the above as potential health problems, then you may be suffering from ovarian malfunction.

 

 

 

The uterus plays a vital role in oxygen/carbon dioxide/water balance in the body.
Most females with uterine problems complain of water retention, lack of energy, and excessive fatty deposition, especially in the hips, buttocks, and thighs. The proverbial cellulite is a typical uterine condition.

 

The uterus also plays a role in the implantation of the fertilized egg, which within nine months, becomes a fully formed fetus. So the purpose of the uterus is to act as a home for the first nine months of life.

Problems of the uterus include: 

	Difficult pregnancies		Lower back pain
	Excessive bleeding		Leg pain, especially the outside of the leg
	Difficulty with the fertilized		Sciatica
	egg implanting in the uterus		Mood swings (this is where
	Uterine fibroids		hysterectomies got their name because it
	Endometriosis		was thought that women became
	Lower abdominal pain and cramping		hysterical due to uterine malfunction)

 

 

If you suffer and consider 4 of the above as potential health problems, then you may be suffering from uterine malfunction.

 

 

 

The male reproductive organs are called testicles. A man's testicles produce a hormone known as testosterone. During puberty, testosterone levels increase, and cause the development of secondary sexual characteristics (physical changes) such as: penis and testicle growth, increase in muscle and bone mass, sex drive, increase in height, facial and pubic hair, and deepening of the voice. Testosterone levels will maintain these characteristics throughout a man's adult life, and will also affect male pattern baldness.

 

Testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer in males, between 15 and 35 years of age. The usual course of treatment is surgical removal of one or both testicles. This causes a decrease or absence of testosterone, and will cause a decrease in all of the physical changes noted above. Testosterone levels are affected by the pituitary gland.

 

Problems caused by testicles malfunction include: 

	Low back pain		Low energy
	Headaches		Low sex drive
	Abdominal pain		Delayed puberty
	Impotency		Decrease in any secondary sexual
	Sciatica		characteristics, such as: decrease in muscle
	Mood swings		mass, lack of facial hair, high voice, and
	Erratic body changes		feminine characteristic.

 

 

If you suffer and consider 4 of the above as potential health problems, then you may be suffering from testicular malfunction.

 

 

 

The Prostate plays a vital role in oxygen/carbon dioxide/water balance
in the male body.

 

Problems caused by the prostate include: 

	Low back pain		Difficulty with urination or frequency
	Sciatica		Decrease in seamen output or volume
	Mood swings

 

 

If you suffer and consider 4 of the above as potential health problems, then you may be suffering from prostate malfunction.
