Why do women get gynecological inflammation?

Patient's question:

I have always felt that women endure much more than men, whether it comes to conception or life. Women also suffer from various gynecological diseases and often hear friends around me say they have conditions like breast hyperplasia and other diseases. I cannot really agree with this and want to consult a doctor to understand why women get gynecological inflammation.

Doctor's answer:

Women are more prone to gynecological infections, which is mainly related to the influence of hormonal levels in women. Additionally, the female vagina is connected to the outside world, and during menstruation, their resistance and immunity are relatively weakened, making it easier to contract infections such as vaginal, cervical, or pelvic infections. Furthermore, women need to experience pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, all of which can lead to a weakened immune system and hormonal imbalance. As a result, it is easy for them to develop secondary infections, including breast inflammation.
