Background: Gynecological diseases significantly impact women's health, yet there is limited comprehensive data on their prevalence and nature, particularly in developing regions. District Buner, located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, presents a unique demographic for studying these diseases due to its distinct socio-cultural and economic context. Objective: This study aims to ascertain the prevalence and variety of gynecological diseases in District Buner, offering insights into the specific health challenges faced by women in this region. Methods: Conducted from October 2019 to October 2020, this study involved a systematic examination of 480 patients in District Buner, spanning various age groups and backgrounds. Data were collected from local healthcare facilities, including the District Headquarters Hospital and Buner Medical Complex. The study focused on identifying and quantifying 30 different gynecological conditions, using both direct consultations with healthcare professionals and review of medical records.

Other significant findings included Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (52%), Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases (70%), and Uterine Prolapse (68%). The data revealed the complex interplay of socio-cultural and biological factors influencing women's reproductive health in the region. Conclusion: The findings highlight a critical need for targeted healthcare interventions, increased awareness, and resource allocation to address the prevalent gynecological conditions in District Buner. This study serves as a vital reference for healthcare policymakers and practitioners in developing effective strategies to improve women's health outcomes in the region.
