Introduction and description

The science section has a description of the reproductive system itself on which this section depends.

In order to look at the diseases and illnesses of the reproductive system, it helps to describe the functions of the reproductive system and their dependencies.   If any one of these functions does not work or malfunctions,  that constitutes an illness.   We already have descriptions for a number of problems on the site, thus a link will show where the problem is described.

Ovulation

Approximately every 28 days, the pituitary gland releases the hormone FSH that stimulates an ova/follicle to develop and grow. Following a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH), an oocyte (immature egg cell) will be released into the uterine tube, where it will then be available to be fertilized by a male’s sperm. Ovulation marks the end of the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle and the start of the luteal phase. If the ova is fertilized by sperm, to become an ovum, it then attaches to the endometrium and the fetus develops.  If no fertilisation has occurred, the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, and unfertilized ova are shed each cycle through the process of menstruation.  Thus problems can occur as follows

• Malfunction or disease in the Pituitary gland
• Blocking or malformation of the passage from the fallopian tube to the uterus
• Endometriosis [see below]
• Menstruation - malfunction.

Intercourse

The human reproductive system involves internal fertilization by sexual intercourse. During this process, the male inserts his erect penis into the female's vagina and ejaculates semen, which contains sperm. Thus the main problems here may include:

• 
  

   
  Erectile dysfunction
• Low sperm count/infertility
• Vaginitis  - is an inflammation of the vagina

Although men and women may regard premature ejaculation as a problem, it is not strictly speaking a reproductive system problem, unless of course the man ejaculates before he enters the vagina.

Vaginitis  can result in discharge, itching and pain, and is often associated with an irritation or infection of the vulva. It is usually due to infection.  The three main kinds of vaginitis are bacterial vaginosis, vaginal candidiasis [thrush – a fungal infection], and trichomoniasis [caused by the single-celled protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis].  Infection can affect all the next stages causing malfunction.

 

 

 

 

 

Fertilisation of the egg

The sperm then travels through the vagina and cervix into the uterus and fallopian tubes for fertilization of the egg. 

The problems here may relate to either Infertility - of the mother, or uterine diseases - for example:

• Prolapse of the uterus,
• Cancers, tumours or benign growths [including fibroids],
• Ectopic growth of endometrial tissue within the myometrium,
• Endometriosis [see below],
• Infection by a pathogen,
• Congenital malformation
• Damage from instrumentation or infection - in effect scarring

Gestation of the fetus - Pregnancy

Upon successful fertilization and implantation, gestation of the fetus then occurs within the female's uterus for approximately nine months, this process is known as pregnancy in humans.  Problems here may include:

• Miscarriages and still births
• Premature birth

Childbirth 

Gestation ends with birth, the process of birth is known as labour. Labour consists of the muscles of the uterus contracting, the cervix dilating, and the baby passing out the vagina (the female genital organ).  Childbirth is very obviously neither an illness or a disease, but has a description on the site.  It is entirely controlled by hormones and is thus very dependent on the endocrine system.

Menopause 

Menopause is not an illness, but can make people feel very unwell.   It is the time in most women's lives when menstrual periods stop permanently, and she is no longer able to have children.  It occurs when there are no follicles left, or the endocrine system stops producing enough hormones to have any effect.

Causes

If we thus summarise the various things that can go wrong with the system, we are actually dealing with three main things:

• Malfunction of or damage to the endocrine/hormone system – leading via a knock on effect to malfunction in the reproductive system 
• Malformation, damage or infection of the various organs - Uterus, testes, penis, ovaries etc
• Malformation, blockage, damage or infection  of the various passages in the reproductive system eg from the fallopian tube to the uterus, or the testes to the penis

One form of malfunction is when cells reproduce out of control, the illness we call cancer.  As such Cancer of the various reproductive organs including the prostate, uterus, testes  and so on is a malfunction.  Some maps are shown below which provide some statistics on two of these types of cancer.

 

 

 TESTICULAR CANCER

 

Thus to find the cause of any of the symptomatic problems outlined above we need to find out what can cause these three.

Stress and extreme negative emotion

High levels of negative emotions do not directly cause reproductive system problems, but all forms of stress affect the immune system.  Stress compromises our immune responses and as a consequence the pathogens that may be in our bodies can proliferate and start to attack us.

Fungal infections

Vaginal yeast infection, also known as candidal vulvovaginitis and vaginal thrush, is excessive growth of yeast in the vagina that results in vaginal itching, which may be severe. Other symptoms include burning with urination, white and thick vaginal discharge that typically does not smell bad, pain with sex, and redness around the vagina.  Vaginal yeast infections are generally due to excessive growth of Candida spp.For example in one study "The most common species was Candida albicans (85%), followed by Candida glabrata, and other Candida species including Candida dubliniensis [Orv. Hetil., 2015, 156(1), 28–31].

Vaginitis “ is not classified as a sexually transmitted infection; however, it may occur more often in those who are frequently sexually active”.  Additional risk factors include taking antibiotics and eating a diet high in simple sugars.

What may not be commonly recognised is that yeasts and fungi often harbour far more serious pathogens - the pathogens that do major damage. 

Furthermore, the whole flora of the vagina may be symbiotically organised with pathogens mutually co-operating and 'friendly bacteria' cooperating to defend our bodies - a warzone!

thus the flora and balance in the vagina is absolutely key to the prevention of disease of the reproductive system.  It may be worth adding that candida yeasts are often found in stools - indicating they have colonised the intestines and/or rectum or are being expelled from the body via this route - this has a relevance when we look at prevention.

 Toxins

Toxins appear to play a big part in the development of reproductive system diseases. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that at certain doses, can interfere with the endocrine (or hormone system) in mammals. Hormones work at very small doses (part per billion ranges) thus it takes very little to disrupt the body's endocrine systems. Endocrine disruption can occur via higher than normal doses of the body's own hormones [via the food chain for example] or via chemicals that can compete with natural hormones for receptors or destroy the receptors. 

The seriousness of this problem is very poorly understood.  There are oestrogens from pharmaceuticals in our water supplies, and there are even endocrine disruptors in bottled mineral water.

There are other toxins also implicated.   For example

Bacterial infection

A number of diseases of the reproductive system are caused by bacteria.  These include:

• Gonorrhea  - is an infection is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
• Syphilis -  is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum.
• Chlamydia infection  - is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. The term Chlamydia infection can also refer to infection caused by any species belonging to the bacterial family Chlamydiaceae. C. trachomatis is found only in humans.   Chlamydia is a major infectious cause of human genital and eye disease. Chlamydia infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide; it is estimated that about 1 million individuals in the United States are infected with chlamydia
• Klebsiella infection -Klebsiella is a genus of bacteria found everywhere in nature. They can be found in water, soil, plants, insects, animals and humans

• Escherichia coli - is a Gram-negative, bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine.  We will have more to say about this in the section on 'Prevention'
• Bacterial vaginosis - A healthy vagina is colonized by a mutually symbiotic flora of micro-organisms that protect its host from disease-causing microbes.  Any imbalance is called BV or vaginitis:

Parasites and Mites

 The role of parasites, including mites,  in reproductive system disease is greatly underestimated.  The presence of cysts and even fibroids is often a sign that infestation has occurred, but been successfully fought off.  All of this battling with parasitic infection from drinking water or bathing water and from sexual intercourse with infected partners - parasites have been found in the testes and can thus be expelled with semen - is undertaken by our immune system and we are usually totally unaware it is taking place.

But we should be, because if our immune system is not up to the battle, the parasites can do untold damage

This paper was written in September 2014. 

Viruses

A very very large number of viruses are implicated in reproductive system diseases.  In the list that follows, which is by no means complete but intended to be indicative, either the name of the virus is given, or if more details have been added in other sections, a link to that section.

JC virus - as yet no links to cancers have been found as far as we are aware, but there are links to fibroids

Herpes - is caused by the Herpes simplex virus [1 or 2] and is associated with a number of disorders of the reproductive system. On a superficial level it produces cold sores, and genital herpes - watery blisters in the skin or mucous membranes of the mouth, lips or genitals.  But cancer can be caused by herpes plus other problems

BK virus - Prostate cancer is associated with xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus and BK virus.

Testicular cancer has a host of viral causes.......

 and

and

Breast cancer is associated with mouse mammary tumor virus, EBV, and HPV but EBV is known to produce cancer in general;

Cytomegalovirus [CMV] is a known cause for a number of cancers and disorders including testicular cancer and cervical cancer.

 There are more, but this is a good sample.

Vaccines

The name for a vaccine that has a live virus in it is an attenuated vaccine.   Although most attenuated vaccines are viral, some are bacterial in nature. Examples include the viral diseases yellow fever, measles, rubella, and mumps, and the bacterial disease typhoid.  As we can see from the description above, many reproductive diseases can be caused by viruses and bacteria.  There appears to be a belief by those promoting vaccines that the immune system defeats the virus as it builds up an immunological record.  But there is now enough research to show that this is not the case.  A virulent strain of attenuated virus may replicate very fast before the immune system has had time to muster its defences - particularly if the virus is injected or administered by nasal spray. A virus is capable of then secreting itself in adipose tissue and the joints and 'laying low'.  Adipose tissue apears to provide a safe haven for a number of viruses.  There is also the problem of virus latency.

As such reproductive system disease may be caused by viruses, obtained from vaccines, emerging at times of stress, or high emotion and thus low immunological function.  For example, Simian virus is a known cause for a number of cancers

Radiation

One of the known effects of too much heat near the testes is problems with the sperm.  The following relates to mice, because scientists are allowed to torture mice, but they are not allowed to torture many humans [sorry my little joke].

What is not commonly acknowledged however, is the effect all sorts of radiation can have on the reproductive system.

All radiation whether 'cosmic' or electromagnetic impacts our bodies and depending on its frequency, it resonates different parts of us. 

The reason that nuclear radiation is so dangerous is that it impacts cells, but what we appear to have overlooked is that all radiation impacts some part of us. 

Every aggregate in our bodies - organs, cells, the body itself, has natural ‘resonance’.  Resonance is a substance’s natural tendency to oscillate – vibrate – at maximum amplitude at certain frequencies, known as the thing’s resonant frequency.  And some radiation affects the reproductive system organs.  High intensity radiation affects the reproductive system organs in the short term, but even low exposure radiation of the 'right' frequency can have an effect in the long term. This is a much larger problem than people realise .....

Heavy metal and dental fillings

 Much of the damage done by heavy metals is to the brain - they cause brain damage, however, there are also links to reproductive system diseases, this abstract has been shortened to its essentials in this context.

Nutritional deprivation

All sorts of nutritional deprivation may result in reproductive system disease.  Mineral imbalance - both lack of the correct mineral and overdosing on minerals, vitamin imbalance - and here both deficiency and overdose via supplements can cause problems, as well as a lack of essential proteins and fats can all have an effect.  For example:

and here is another example of what overdosing by using vitamin supplements can do to you, the figures are from eHealthme:

On Jun, 17, 2015: 38,376 people reported to have side effects when taking Vitamins. Among them, 18 people (0.05%) have Vaginitis.

 and if we take the example of the mineral supplement zinc sulphate and use the tables in eHealthme we find that there is an association between taking this mineral supplement and the following problems.  

Vagina Dryness Vaginal Abscess Vaginal Bleeding Between Periods Vaginal Bleeding In Pregnancy Vaginal Cancer (Vaginal tumors) Vaginal Cancer Metastatic Vaginal Cancer Stage 0 Vaginal Candidiasis (Vaginal yeast infection) Vaginal Cyst Vaginal Cysts Vaginal Discharge

Vaginal Erythema Vaginal Haemorrhage Vaginal Infection Vaginal Irritation Vaginal Obstruction Vaginal Pain Vaginal Prolapse Vaginal Tumors Vaginal Yeast Infection Vaginismus Vaginitis Gardnerella

 Thus the problem is deficiency or overdose - imbalance. 

Surgery and physical damage

 Although surgery can very directly damage the various organs of the reproductive system, causing them to malfunction, one very often overlooked problem is the damage done to the lymph system by all sorts of surgery - including plastic surgery.

Physical damage can very easily affect the lymph system causing it to block or malfunction.  Any problems with this system can cause reproductive system problems simply because the lymph system is the mechanism by which the immune system works.   A badly performed hysterectomy, for example, can cause untold problems and has. Since reproductive system disease can be caused by pathogens and our only defence against pathogens is our immune system, damage to the lymph system is likely to lead to disease, and one of those diseases is reproductive system disease.

 Hypoxia

 All cells need oxygen to function, thus hypoxia - a shortage of oxygen caused by pollution, for example, or smoking, - reduces the oxygen getting to cells and they can die or simply malfunction.

Pharmaceuticals

An extremely large number of pharmaceuticals can cause reproductive system problems - thousands not hundreds.  The following link is not complete, but representative.  The eHealthme website from which this was derived is searchable by symptom, thus this can be used to get specific information:

Treatment and prevention

Treatment - The first step in all treatment is to find the cause.  Once the cause has been identified, then both treatment and prevention can be based on the result.

Prevention- Pathogens may enter the system via the orifices of the body – principally the mouth, nose, and the vagina in women.  It thus makes a great deal of sense not to use unsafe and unwise sexual practises.  So let us take a look at how the pathogens mentionned above - sometimes very strange ones like the bacteria in the intestines - could cause disease in the reproductive system

Prevention - No more anal sex

According to Wikipedia “Anal sex or anal intercourse is generally the insertion and thrusting of the erect penis into a person's anus, or anus and rectum, for sexual pleasure.”  Whose pleasure is not specified, but as this was undoubtedly written by a man, then it must be his pleasure, because anal sex provides no pleasure for women.  Generally it hurts.  Technically it is called Sodomy - as in Sodomy and Begora [a joke].

The anus and rectum are our sewer outlet.  They provide the means by which pathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites and toxins can be expelled.  They may not be dead or have been made harmless, the lubrication and form of the intestines and rectum [which has a very high number of white blood cells to protect it]  help to protect the body from attack.

If a man thrusts his penis into anyone’s anus, he thus risks covering his penis with more pathogens than most people care to think of.  We, from the time we have been small children, have been told we must wash our hands after going to the toilet.  There is a reason.

So now the man has his penis covered with pathogens, we shall assume he is with a woman.  For ‘sexual pleasure’, he now thrusts the same penis into her vagina, thereby transferring all these pathogens into her.  She now has all the parasites, viruses, fungi, toxins, bacteria in her vagina.  These may be hers or they may be the left overs from one or more previous partners he has carefully not deemed to mention in case any of them refuse to give him his ‘sexual pleasure’.

And thereby is infection spread.  And the way to stop the spread is to stop the anal sex

Prevention -  Protect the vaginal microflora

The vagina of women is protected in two ways controlled mostly by very special bacteria:

The healthy vagina of a woman of child-bearing age is acidic, with a pH normally ranging between 3.8 and 4.5., and this is due to the degradation of glycogen to the lactic acid by enzymes secreted by the Döderlein's bacillus, which is a normal commensal of the vagina. The acidity retards the growth of many strains of pathogenic microbes.

These are our only protection against disease.

A healthy vagina is colonized by a mutually symbiotic flora of microorganisms that protect its host from disease-causing microbes, any attempt to upset this balance may cause many undesirable outcomes.  Once the vaginal protection has been compromised every pathogen going – from whatever source – can go anywhere in the reproductive system – and the body.  And they do, causing all sorts of reproductive system disease, for example

This is still a highly under researched area and thus it is essential that we do not in any way upset this delicate floral garden of bacteria.  The main practises which should be stopped include:

•  Douching - which simply washes away everything - good and bad

• Using anti-bacterial agents and swabs in the vagina - note that hospitals are the culprits often here.  There is every reason to ensure whatever is inserted into the vagina is pathogen free - sterilised, but covering it with anti-bacterial substances is not a good idea

• Using certain Spermicidal creams - which contain anti-bacterial agents 

There is also concern about hot tubs, jacuzzis and swimming pools that occasionally have high doses of antibacterial chemicals in them - just take care here.

Prevention - eating for health

 As we have seen, the vagina, as well as the mouth, nose, ears and other  orifices of the body, along with the intestines are protected by a very complex micture of bacteria and fungi.  In some cases the protection is provided by small parasites as well.  Thus we have good microbes and bad microbes, alies and enemies.  Whether these good microbes work or not is dependent on what we feed them.  Most of our good microbes thrive on a balanced diet of organic natural food.  They do not thrive on supplements or overdoses of food.  Thus if we overdose on sugars and carbohydrates, everything goes haywire.  Too much sugar and we may get thrush.

In order to prevent disease, therefore we must go back to Eating for health.

Prevention - Justice and the law

There is little point in legislating against acts such as sodomy or buggery, as in the first place the laws are virtually unenforcable and in the second place laws in this area are virtually an invitation, for those who find the legal system to be unjust, to break the law.

But there is every reason to try to enforce laws that are aimed at preventing hurt.  If, for example, a person has sex with another person knowing they have a sexually transmittable disease, they are in many ways committing grievous bodily harm.  If the person subsequently dies from that disease, it is in effect murder.

Prevention - getting tested

There is an argument for having every person tested for pathogens of all sorts on a regular basis, whether these cause reproductive system disease or other sorts of disease.
