12 month consecutive period of having unprotected intercourse.

Complications in the ovaries, oviducts and endometrium can cause infertility in women. About 30 percent of women are unable to conceive…

the Follicle – stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH then travels through the blood to the ovaries, where it stimulates follicle growth around the oocyte. (Diagram 3). The developing follicle secretes oestrogen which then activates the generation of the endometrium, the increased levels of oestrogen cause the pituitary gland to secrete the Luteinising hormone (LH). This begins the second stage of the menstrual cycle. Ovulation takes place around day 14, LH secreted by the pituitary gland causes the…

anyway. After two weeks the ruptured follicle would have completely transformed to a "Corpus Luteum." The Corpus Luteum then begins to release progesterone and estrogen in high and low quantities respectively. This duo work together to maintain the endometrium–"the thickened lining of the uterus, a preparation for…

The success rate of any ovarian stimulation protocol in IVF treatment is determined by its pregnancy and live birth rates, including its affordability and patient’s compliance. The few literatures regarding ideal minimal stimulation regimen for POR patient is not clear as there are different pros and cons of different minimal protocols [2]. There is no evidence of superiority of one approach over another; however minimal stimulation protocol with low dose CC plus low dose Gn is associated with…

phase takes place, in which high estrogen levels cause a new functional layer to generate. It also increases the synthesis of progesterone receptors in the endometrium, as well as increasing the size of glands and number of arteries. Finally, during the secretory phase, heightened progesterone levels lead to further development of the endometrium, secretion of glycogen by glands, and the formation of the cervical mucus plug. Moreover, the uterine and ovarian cycle are related because they occur…

routinely in the initial evaluation of amenorrhoea once pregnancy has been excluded. Another way of evaluating a patient with secondary amenorrhoea is by challenging the endometrium with progestin. A positive progestin challenge (i.e. presence of withdrawal bleeding after progestin administration) indicates functioning endometrium, thus ruling out the possibility of adhesions in the uterine cavity…

Introduction Pelvic pain can result from disorders of the gastrointestinal, urinary, or reproductive systems. Diagnosing the etiology of pain can be difficult, and clinical and laboratory evaluation is often not sufficient. In pediatrics, ultrasonography (US) is generally the primary imaging modality used in the initial evaluation of pelvic pain, with radiographs and cross-sectional imaging reserved for further work-up or specific indications. In pelvic emergencies, radiological findings…

1. Detail the first part of the digestive system from the mouth to the esophagus including the structure and functions of each part. The first part of the digestive system is comprised of the mouth, the pharynx and the esophagus. The mouth is an oral cavity that starts the process of mechanical and chemical digestions when food is received. The mouth is bounded by the cheeks and lips. The mouth contains a soft and hard palate, salivary glands, teeth (crown and dentin) and the tongue (covered…

pain in bowel movement and urination, and stated by the Mayo Clinic Patient Care and Health Info, the condition also causes “painful blisters covering the inside of the pelvis.” In good cases, endometriosis is not fatal, but the cells within the endometrium called endometrial cells, form into cysts and can rupture causing internal bleeding which can widespread within the lower abdominal, pelvic region of the body. Based upon Vital Health Institute, endometriosis can impact a women’s life by…

• PCOS carries with it body changes that may be more troubling for a female than the actual cause of these changes. What body changes may affect the female? How does the nurse practitioner address these with the patient? What education and counseling does the nurse practitioner offer? PCOS is the most common endocrine disease affecting women. There are multiple changes that occur within the body due to PCOS. PCOS causes an increase of LH, resulting in hyperandrogenism; in PCOS FSH is decreased.…
