From the moment we are born, there are multiple characteristics in our bodies that allow us to distinguish women from men. This is what is known as sexual characteristics. The sexual characteristics They can be primary or secondary.

Sexual characteristics:

Primary: are the female reproductive organs and male. At birth you can already know if the baby is a boy or a girl by looking at these organs that are already formed.

Secondary: They develop during puberty, which is the transition from childhood to adolescence. They also make differences between boys and girls. In boys, the shoulders usually broaden and they begin to have a mustache and beard. Their voices also change, becoming deeper. In girls, breasts develop and hips also widen.

In this article we are going to develop the female reproductive system, the parts that form them and their function within the woman’s body. The first thing we need to know is where it is located within the body. The female reproductive system is located in the lower area of ​​the belly protected by the bones of the pelvis.

The function of female reproductive organ It is procreation, that is, creating new life. Generate reproductive cells What are the eggsalso called female gametes. The eggs Together with the sperm (What are the male gametes) lead to the creation of a embryo which will later become a baby when a pregnancy occurs. The female reproductive organ will house that embryo inside until it is time to give birth.

Parts of the female reproductive system

The female reproductive system is divided into internal (inside the woman’s body) and external (outside the woman’s body). Let’s see the parts that make it up and what their functions are.

Female reproductive system

Internal:

Ovaries: They are rounded organs where eggs are produced and mature. eggs. The eggs They are the female reproductive cells. They are also known as female gametes. As a curiosity we can say that they are the largest cells that exist and do not have movement. At birth, girls have a large number of immature eggs. The eggs will mature when puberty is reached.
Uterus: cavity with thick, muscular walls in which the baby develops when there is a pregnancy.

Fallopian tube: ducts that connect the ovaries with the uterus. The eggs travel through them.
Vagina: duct that connects the uterus with the outside, that is, with the vulva.

External:

Vulva: outermost part of the female reproductive system formed by folds of skin (inner labia, outer labia and clitoris) that protect the entrance to the internal area.

Here you have an infographic and a downloadable and printable sheet so that you remember all the parts of the female reproductive system.

Menstruation and fertilization

As we have said before, girls are born with a large number of eggs. These eggs remain immature until puberty. Once puberty is reached, the eggs mature and can be fertilized by a sperm. Let’s see how this happens.

The ovaries release a mature egg approximately every 28 days, this is known as menstrual cycle. He Ovum is expelled by ovary and go through the Fallopian tube to him uterus. On this “journey” if you meet a spermatozooncould be fertilizedthat is, the sperm has entered the Ovum. If this happens, a pregnancyWe’ll see later the phases of pregnancy.

When the Ovum runs through the Fallopian tube without finding any sperm to fertilize him, upon reaching the uterus is expelled by it through the vagina. When this happens, women suffer bleeding that is known as menstruation either minorrhoea. This happens approximately every 28 days, which is called menstrual cycle.

Pregnancy

For a pregnancy to occur, a gamete or male cell must unite (spermatozoon) with a gamete or female cell (Ovum). This meeting takes place in the Fallopian tube and the fertilized egg stays in the uterus. He uterus will be prepared to welcome and protect it to first, create a embryo and later, the baby who will be born after approximately 9 months from the time of the fertilization.

When fertilization occurs Ovum begins to divide giving rise to zygote. He zygote It continues to divide over the following hours until it transforms into morula approximately 72 hours. 4 days after fertilization and the blastocyst that will be implanted in the uterus to give rise to the embryo.

In it uterus has also been created placenta which is a tissue that will be responsible for transmitting oxygen and nutrients from the mother to the baby, since this is what it needs to develop. This exchange of substances between mother and child is carried out through the umbilical cord.

The amniotic sac will also form, which is filled with amniotic fluid. This liquid is responsible for protecting the baby.

Throughout the 9 months of pregnancy, changes occur that will end in the birth of the baby. In the first months the future baby begins to develop, you can already hear her heartbeat and around the third month the embryo already receives the name of fetus. Towards the middle of pregnancy the baby can already suck his thumb and hear, this is also when the mother may begin to notice that she is moving. At the end of pregnancy is when the baby gains weight and her organs finish forming so she can live outside her mother’s body. Pregnancy ends with Birth which is when the baby is born. In the following image you can see how the baby is forming through the different months.

What are the most common diseases that can occur in this device?

This device, like the rest of the human body, is exposed to the possibility of contracting some specific diseases. The most notable ones due to their abundance today are those found in the following table:

Furthermore, there are calls STDs, diseases of sexual transmission, such as vaginal yeast infectionthe chlamydiathe gonorrheahe Genital herpesthe hepatitis Bthe trichomoniasis or the human papilloma virus. All of them are produced by bacteria, fungi or viruses that are transmitted through sexual contact and, sometimes, from mothers to fetuses through the umbilical cord.

On the other hand, it is necessary to point out two situations that can occur in relation to this device and, sometimes, as a result of one of the previous diseases:

Infertility: the inability to carry the pregnancy and birth of a baby to term. Infertility: the inability of a woman to become pregnant after a year or so of trying.

The causes of these situations can be very varied and are not always due to a disease, disorder or difficulty on the part of the female reproductive system.

What can be done to prevent these diseases or treat them when they occur?

As with the rest of the diseases and abnormal situations with respect to our organisms, the best prevention is to lead a healthy life (in all areas of a person’s life), monitor its proper functioning, have good hygiene and be in possession of all the necessary information.

Regarding the appearance of a disease of this device, as for any other, it is very important to detect it as soon as possible, put yourself in the hands of specialists and receive the appropriate treatment for each case, situation and person.
