Ovarian cysts are some of the most common women's health conditions. Ovarian cysts are sacs filled with fluid that grow and develop in the ovaries. They can develop in a wide range of sizes and forms, and not all of them cause harm to women. Some women can live most of their lives without knowing they have one. Although most do not cause any harm, large cysts that rupture can cause pelvic pain and bloating.

Dysmenorrhea is another condition encountered by some women. It typically occurs when a woman is on her period and causes cramps and pain. There are two types of dysmenorrhea, primary and secondary. Primary dysmenorrhea first starts when a woman starts having periods and occurs each time a woman has it. Secondary dysmenorrhea occurs due to pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis, and comes on after the teen years. Both forms are treatable conditions.
