01 Cervical Cancer: Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer in women, with an estimated around 660,000 new cases and around 350,000 deaths in 2022.This high incidence of cervical cancer has led to widespread screening programs such as Pap smears and HPV testing, which require regular gynecological exams. For instance, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that women aged 21 to 65 undergo routine cervical cancer screening, significantly increasing the need for gynecological examination chairs in healthcare facilities.
02 Ovarian Cancer: Ovarian cancer, known as a "silent killer" due to its late detection, requires regular gynecological exams for early detection and ongoing monitoring. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 21,410 women in the United States will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer in 2021. Increased awareness about risk factors such as family history and genetic predispositions (e.g., BRCA mutations) has led to more women undergoing regular check-ups and genetic counseling. The use of gynecological examination chairs is often needed for thorough examinations and ultrasound evaluations during these visits.
03 Endometriosis: Endometriosis affects approximately 10% (190 million) of reproductive age women and girls globally as per (WHO). It is a chronic condition that cause severe pain and fertility issues, necessitating regular gynecological evaluations to manage symptoms and monitor treatment progress. Diagnosing endometriosis often involves a series of pelvic exams, ultrasounds, and sometimes laparoscopies, all of which require the use of gynecological examination chairs. Continuous monitoring of the condition also leads to frequent visits to gynecologists.
