Why is it important for women to understand how their reproductive system work?
It's important for women to understand how their reproductive system works because once a woman knows what normal feels like in their own body, then she'll know if anything new comes up that could be potentially abnormal and they need to take care of. For example, if a woman does a breast exam every month, three days after the first day of their period, and they do this regularly, they'll know what the tissues of their breast feels like. And this could be different from one breast to the other, from one person to the other as well. So once they know what's normal, if they find anything or they feel anything that is not usual, then that could mean something important, or not. But if they understand how the reproductive system works, at least they can tell their doctors to catch things early if it should be a problem.
