Introduction

An ovarian cyst is a solid or a fluid-filled pocket in or on the surface of your ovary. Women have two ovaries, each of an almond shape and size on each side of the uterus. Eggs develop in these ovaries and are released during your monthly cycles.

Many women suffer from ovarian cyst at some point in time during their life. Most  ovarian cysts cause very little or no discomfort and usually  disappear in a few months without any treatment. However, when an ovarian cyst ruptures, it can lead to serious complications.

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) refers to an amplified response of female hormones. It occurs when injectable hormone medications are given to stimulate the ovaries. Mild cases of OHSS improve on their own, while severe cases require hospitalization.

Paget’s disease is a bone illness that disrupts your body’s natural recycling mechanism, which involves new bone tissue progressively replacing old bone tissue. Bones can become brittle and deformed over time. The most often affected areas are the pelvis, skull, spine, and legs. The risk of Paget’s disease of the bones increases as you become older and if you have a family member suffering from the condition.

Stress fractures are minute cracks in your bones often developed owing to repetitive force (stress) such as constant running or jumping. Stress fractures can be caused by repetitive force, often from overuse — like running long distances or repeatedly jumping up and down. They can also develop from normal use of a bone that is weakened by a condition called osteoporosis (weak or porous bone).

The human nervous system is an intricate, highly complex, yet fascinating part of the body, through which the brain controls and communicates to different parts of body. But it’s also the most susceptible to lasting damage if it encounters physical trauma or injury. Paralysis is when you can’t move certain parts of your body after something goes wrong with their connection to your brain.

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting women in their reproductive years, typically between the ages of 12 and 45. It is characterized by hormonal imbalances that disrupt normal ovulation and menstrual cycles. In PCOD, the ovaries tend to produce an excess number of immature eggs, which fail to release and eventually form small fluid-filled sacs or cysts.
