​Function  The primary function of the male reproductive system is to facilitate conception or the  fertilization of the ovum by a sperm. Sperm are the male gametes or sex cells. Gametes  are different from other body cells in that they contain half the chromosomes that other  cells have. When two gametes join one another they form a zygote (fertilized ovum) that  holds a full set of chromosomes. The function of the female reproductive system is to  produce new life. The female reproductive system contains two ovaries that  manufacture sex cells and sex hormones, two fallopian tubes, where ova (eggs) travel  and can be fertilized by sperm; the uterus, which supports the growth and development  of the embryo and fetus during pregnancy; and the vagina, which functions as the birth  canal.  Diseases / Disorders  Balanitis - Inflammation of the glans penis characterized by redness, pain, and unusual  penile (PEE-nile) discharge; often associated with phimosis (narrowing of the opening  of the prepuce).  Prostate Cancer - Malignant tumor of the prostate; characterized by dysuria, pain, and  blood in the semen; is one of the most common cancers in men over the age of 50.  Breast Cancer - Malignant tumor of the mammary gland; characterized by lumps in the  breast. Breast cancer is currently the most common cancer among women of all races.  Eclampsia - Condition in which seizures occur in a pregnant woman with high blood  pressure between the twentieth week of pregnancy and the first week postpartum (after  childbirth); typically leads to coma, threatening the welfare of the mother and baby.  Stillbirth - Death and delivery of a fetus after the twentieth week of pregnancy; may be  due to a number of maternal or fetal diseases or conditions.
