Nepali Gynaecological Terms

Continuing the medical glossary of Nepali words I started earlier on this blog, here is a list of common gynaecological conditions and diseases encountered in my work as an interpreter. The English gynaecological terms are listed with translation into the Nepalese gynaecological terms. Sometimes the translations isn't really translations, just the English words frequently used in Nepal. But that usually works. I hope the word list will be of help to someone. Feel free to add to the list in the comments, to everyone's benefit :-)

Oh yeah, working as a (male) interpreter, you find yourself talking about all kinds of things, including intimate gynaecological issues...
