Women's Health: Women's health has been described as their reproductive health, including maternal and child health, genital health and breast health, and endocrine (hormonal) health, including menstruation, birth control and menopause. Conditions that affect both men and women, such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, also manifest differently in women. Women's health issues also include medical situations in which women face problems not directly related to their biology, such as gender-differentiated access to medical treatment and other socioeconomic factors. Women's health is of particular concern due to widespread discrimination against women in the world, leaving them disadvantaged.
Women also need health care more and access the health care system more than do men. While part of this is due to their reproductive and sexual health needs, they also have more chronic non-reproductive health issues such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, mental illness, diabetes and osteoporosis.
Women experience many unique health issues related to reproduction and sexuality and these are responsible for a third of all health problems experienced by women during their reproductive years (aged 15–44), of which unsafe sex is a major risk factor. Reproductive health includes a wide range of issues including the health and function of structures and systems involved in reproduction, pregnancy and childbirth.

Breast cancer: Breast cancer is a malignant tumor (a collection of cancer cells) arising from the cells of the breast. Although breast cancer predominantly occurs in women, it can also affect men.
Breast cancer symptoms and signs include
· a lump in the breast or armpit,
· bloody nipple discharge,
· inverted nipple,
· orange-peel texture or dimpling of the breast's skin,
· breast pain or sore nipple,
· swollen lymph nodes in the neck or armpit, and
· a change in the size or shape of the breast or nipple.
Breast cancer can spread when the cancer cells get into the blood or lymph system and
are carried to other parts of the body.
Breast cancer is diagnosed during a physical exam, by self-examination of the breasts, mammography, ultrasound testing, and biopsy.
Treatment of breast cancer depends on the type of cancer and its stage (0-IV) and may involve surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.

Cancer of other organs: Reproductive cancers start in the organs related to reproduction (sex). These organs are located in the pelvis. The pelvis is the area in the lower belly between the hip bones.
The most common reproductive cancers in women are:
· Uterine - begins in the uterus (womb), the organ where the baby grows when a woman is pregnant.
· Cervical - begins in the cervix, the lower end of the uterus that attaches to the vagina.
· Ovarian - begins in the ovaries, the two organs that make and house a woman's eggs.
· Vaginal - begins in the vagina, the hollow channel that leads from the uterus to the outside of the body.
· Vulvar - begins in the vulva, the area around the opening of the vagina.
Each type of reproductive cancer has different symptoms.
· Uterine-vaginal bleeding or discharge that is not normal, pressure or pain in the pelvic area.
· Cervical-vaginal bleeding or discharge that is not normal.
· Ovarian-vaginal bleeding or discharge that is not normal, pressure or pain in the pelvic area, belly or back, bloating.
· Vaginal-vaginal bleeding or discharge that is not normal.
· Vulvar-pressure or pain in the pelvic area, itching, burning, rash, or sores around the opening of the vagina.

Pregnancy: Pregnancy occurs when a sperm fertilizes an egg after it is released from the ovary during ovulation. The fertilized egg then travels down into the uterus, where implantation occurs. A successful implantation results in pregnancy.
Pregnancy is diagnosed by measuring human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels in the body. Also referred to as the pregnancy hormone, hCG is produced upon implantation, but it may not be detected until after you miss a period. Levels of the hormone increase rapidly after your missed period. The hormone hCG is detected through either a urine or blood test.
A healthy pregnancy typically lasts for 40 weeks. Premature births can result in many health problems, from low birth weight and jaundice, to a lack of development of the organs.
First Trimester
During the first trimester of pregnancy, the chance for a miscarriage is still quite high. More than 1 in 4 pregnancies result in miscarriage before the 12-week mark. After 12 weeks, the odds of miscarriage drop dramatically. Also during the first trimester, your doctor will check to make sure the developing fetus has a heartbeat by using a Doppler machine.
Second Trimester
During the second trimester of pregnancy, an anatomy scan ultrasound will likely be performed. This milestone checks the tiny body of your developing baby for any developmental abnormalities. This test also can reveal the gender of your baby, if you wish to find out before the baby is born. Somewhere in the middle of the second trimester, you will most likely be able to feel your baby’s movement inside your uterus in the form of little kicks and punches.
Third Trimester
At 27 weeks, a baby in utero is considered “viable,” meaning that it would have a good chance of surviving outside of your womb. During the third trimester, your weight gain will accelerate and you may feel more tired. As labor approaches, you may feel pelvic discomfort. Excess blood and water retention may cause your feet to swell. Contractions that do not lead to labor, known as Braxton-Hicks contractions, may start to occur in the weeks before you deliver.

Menstruation and menstrual irregularities: The menstrual cycle is the monthly series of changes a woman's body goes through in preparation for the possibility of pregnancy. Each month, one of the ovaries releases an egg -a process called ovulation. At the same time, hormonal changes prepare the uterus for pregnancy. If ovulation takes place and the egg isn't fertilized, the lining of the uterus sheds through the vagina. This is a menstrual period.
The menstrual cycle, which is counted from the first day of one period to the first day of the next, isn't the same for every woman. Menstrual flow might occur every 21 to 35 days and last two to seven days.
Your menstrual cycle might be regular - about the same length every month or somewhat irregular, and your period might be light or heavy, painful or pain-free, long or short, and still be considered normal.
Menstrual cycle irregularities can have many different causes, including:
· Pregnancy or breast-feeding
· Eating disorders, extreme weight loss or excessive exercising
· Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
· Premature ovarian failure
· Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
· Uterine fibroids

Endocrine Diseases: Some conditions affecting female reproduction are caused by endocrine disorders. For example, many women with PCOS have insulin resistance, in which the body cannot use insulin efficiently. This leads to high circulating blood levels of insulin, called hyperinsulinemia. It is believed that hyperinsulinemia is related to increased androgen levels, as well as obesity and type 2diabetes. In turn, obesity can increase insulin levels, which results in exacerbation of PCOS.
There are several other causes that can manipulate the endocrine system in a way to create problems with female reproduction including:
Obesity
Thyroid disorders (resulting from missing glands, cancer, genetic disorders)
Adrenal hyperplasia (endocrine disorders genetic in origin affecting female reproduction)
Tumors in the pituitary gland

Analysis of Market for Gynaecology and Obstetrics Pathology
Changes in lifestyle such as delay in bearing the first child, use of contraceptive pills, increased alcohol consumption and smoking are some of the factors leading to increase in the infertility rate globally, due to which the human reproductive technologies market is experiencing rise in demand. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that in 2010, approximately 1.9% of women aged between 20 years and 44 years were unable to have their first child and 10.5% of women who had already conceived were unable to conceive for the subsequent times. Thus, high global infertility rates will continue to provide newer growth opportunities to this market. Some other factors contributing to the growth of the human reproductive technologies market include increasing morbidity rate of infertility in both males and females, rise in awareness about the available technologies for treating problems related to reproduction, rising prevalence of unwanted pregnancies, and overall advancement in the available technologies to control reproduction
According to World Health organization (WHO) in 2012, around 521,000 people died due to breast cancer and this number is expected to increase in the near future. Like other metastatic cancers, surgical removal of metastatic breast cancer is deemed ineffective and often results in increased chance of death (nearly 80% - 90% of the diagnosed population). Prognosis is generally based on the stage of breast cancer in the patient; this staging is done by the usual TNM staging method, wherein T stands for tumor, N stands for node swelling, followed by M i.e. the metastatic stage of the cancer. These symptoms are used in the classification of metastatic breast cancer into 4 stages, stages 1- 3 involves gradual spread of carcinoma from various regions of the breast but doesn’t involve metastasis; stage 4 shows a full blown metastasis which shows involvement of lymph nodes near or distant from the breasts and spread to other organs including bones, lung and the brain.
Cervical cancer is the second most commonly prevalent cancer and the third greatest cause of death in women, with 530,000 new cases discovered each year The global cervical cancer diagnostics tests market is segmented by test types into Pap smear tests, colopscopy, HPV testing, endocervical curettage (ECC) procedure and others, which includes cone biopsy and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). The Pap smear tests segment is also estimated to grow at a CAGR of more than 6% during the forecast period from 2014 to 2020 North America was the largest market for cervical cancer diagnostic tests in 2013. The global cervical cancer diagnostic tests market has been segmented into four major regional markets: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of World (RoW). The market size estimations and forecasts for the period 2012 to 2020 have been provided for each of these regions at a segment level, in terms of USD million along with the CAGR for the forecast period 2014 to 2020. Factors that have driven the market in North America are increasing prevalence of cervical cancer cases, rapid technological advancements, and growing awareness about malignant effects of cervical cancer among individuals. In addition, various reimbursement policies related to the treatment of cervical cancer would most likely fuel the growth of the market in the next few years. However, Asia Pacific is projected to witness the highest growth rate over the forecast period from 2014 to 2020.
