The female reproductive system is made up of 5 organs
The female reproductive system includes the uterus, cervix, vagina, fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Uterus (womb)
The uterus is a hollow pear-shaped organ in the middle of your pelvis where a baby develops. The uterus lining builds up ready for implantation and breaks down and sheds during a period when you are not pregnant.
Cervix
The cervix is the lower part of the uterus, the neck of the womb which opens into the vagina.
Vagina
The vagina is a muscular tube which connects the cervix to outside the body. The vagina is also known as the birth canal.
Ovaries
Ovaries are small, oval-shaped glands that are located on either side of the uterus. They produce eggs and hormones.
Fallopian tubes
Fallopian tubes are small tubes attached to the top of the uterus. An egg released from the ovary travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus.

Many conditions can affect the female reproductive system such as
Endometriosis
