Genetic diseases include hereditary conditions caused by genetic changes (mutations) in all cells of the body. Since mutations are also present in the ovaries and testicles, heredity for the disease can be transmitted to the next generation, i.e. it can be inherited. Included in genetic diseases are also conditions which, while not hereditary, are caused by genetic changes that have only arisen in certain cells or tissues of the body.

Gynaecology concerns the investigation and treatment of diseases of the female reproductive organs, i.e. the uterus, vagina, the external sexual organs and the ovaries. Conditions include infections and pain as well as benign and malignant tumours of these organs. Other common problems in the area of gynaecology are increased amounts of discharge, recurrent abdominal infections, burning or difficulty related to sexual intercourse. Andrology in men can be seen as the counterpart to gynaecology in women. The medical discipline of andrology relates primarily to internal medicine, urology, paediatrics, psychiatry and laboratory medicine.
Transsexual surgery, so-called sex change operations, have been performed since the 1960s at the Karolinska University Hospital which is today very prominent in this field.
