Reproductive system

The reproductive system enables the continuation of life, encompassing structures and hormones that support fertility, conception, and sexual function. It includes organs such as the ovaries, uterus, testes, and associated ducts, as well as regulatory hormones from the endocrine network. Beyond reproduction, this system influences general health through its links with hormone cycles, secondary sexual characteristics, and long-term wellbeing. Conditions that can arise affecting this system include infertility, endometriosis, and prostate disorders. As the reproductive system evolves throughout a lifetime, the female body undergoes transition — at menarche, pregnancy, post-partum and menopause — that can also bring challenges and require support.
