Diseases Cervical Cancer - ( Cervical cancer begins in cells on the surface of the cervix. Over time, the cervical cancer can invade more deeply into the cervix and nearby tissues. The cancer cells can spread by breaking away from the original tumor. They enter blood vessels or lymph vessels, which branch into all the tissues of the body. The cancer cells may attach to other tissues and grow to form new tumors that may damage those tissues. The spread of cancer is called metastasis.) Treatment- surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Symptoms - You can take a Pap Smear also known as a Pap Test to find out if you have any symptoms to cervical cancer. **To prevent this disease from happening you can get the Gardicil shot.**

How it works- It produces the female egg cells necessary for reproduction. The system is designed to transport the ova to the site of fertilization. conception, the fertilization of an egg by a sperm, normally occurs in the fallopian tubes. The next step for the fertilized egg is to implant into the walls of the uterus, beginning the intitial stages of pregnancy. If fertilization and/or implantation does not take place, the system is designed to menstruate (the monthly shedding of the uterine lining). In addition, the female reproductive system produces female sex hormones that maintain the reproductive cycle. During menopause the female reproductive system gradually stops making the female hormones necessary for the reproductive cycle to work. When the body no longer produces these hormones a woman is considered to be menopausal.
