The Beginning of Life

The organs of the male reproductive system assist with the production and transport of hormones and sperm.

Testicular cancer is an abnormal cancerous growth of the prostate.

If males perform testicular self-examinations regularly, they do not need regular checkups from a doctor.

The female reproductive system produces hormones and eggs and nurtures a fertilized egg as it develops into a baby.

During ovulation, blood and some tissues from the uterus pass through the vagina out of the body.

Fibroids are noncancerous ovarian tumors that may require surgical removal if they become large and painful.

A fertilized egg is called a zygote.

In the germinal stage of prenatal development, organogenesis takes place.

Teen parenthood involves a teen raising a child independently or with the other parent.

Teens who are pregnant or parenting often face challenges related to physical, social and emotional, and economic well-being.
