There are a reported 3 million cases per year, but due to the fact that not every case are reported and also due to the fact that a lot of symptoms of the diseases are not recognized, the number is likely a lot higher than that. Preventable by use of protective devices such as latex condoms, there are yearly screenings and tests for chlamydia…

which the egg comes out. The sperm moves along with the side the uterus push it with. Leukocytes are cells that kill off some of the sperm in the fallopian tube. The “sperm people” was considering trespassing a certain area and war began. The sperm has to display the correct movement to allow further. The remaining sperm swims up into the fallopian tube to find the egg. Sperm can smell the eggs. Now the remaining eggs starts to swim faster. The main concentration now is the timing. How the sperm…

two broad groups. We talk about the infertile group and the sub-fertile group. Infertile is like impossible meaning it could be because there's no sperm, there is no vagina, there is no cervix, there is no uterus, there are no patent or open fallopian tubes, there are no ovaries, there are no eggs coming from the ovaries. When we talk about sub-fertile we're meaning that perhaps there is some sperm, but there's less of it or it's…

Fig. 9c : Changes in ascorbate and peroxidase activity in uterus during different days of pregnancy in rabbit During the first 4 days of pregnancy when the blastocyst is inside the fallopian tube the uterus shows weak peroxidase activity and the AA content is high (Fig.9c). While the blastocysts were still free in the uterine lumen or had just begun to make endometrial contact, a sharp rise in peroxidase activity is seen in the uterus…

when a female’s egg and a male’s sperm come together. During a fertile male’s ejaculation a single teaspoon of his seminal fluid contains two-hundred to five-hundred million sperm. Only a few hundred complete the six or seven inch journey to the fallopian tubes where an egg arrives monthly. If the egg is present sperm simultaneously burrow their way through the eggs outside (Figure 2). Chemical changes occur that block out all other sperm when a single sperm penetrated the egg’s cellular wall.…

The medical removal of a fallopian tube and an ovary is called a unilateral oophorectomy. A bilateral oophorectomy is the process of removing both sets of fallopian tubes and ovaries. The way that an oophorectomy was performed began to change, in the 1990s. The risk in women who have no family past of the disease is less than 1%. Removing the ovaries increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and speeds up osteoporosis unless a woman starts taking a prescribed hormone replacements. Of all…

Ovaries play a pivotal role in a women's reproductive system by making the eggs necessary for reproduction. However, like most organs in the body, ovaries can become cancerous, putting a women's life at risk. Ovarian cancer is the 5th leading cause of cancer related deaths in women ages 35-74 years with an estimated 1-2 out of every 100 women developing it at some point in their life (Torpy, 2011). Ovarian cancer is hard to detect and is often found after the cancer has metastasized to a point…

misdiagnosed as a standard bladder or vaginal infection. Some complications for women include infection and consequential inflammation of the uterus and fallopian tubes, causing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Symptoms of PID can be anywhere from mild to severe with abdominal pain to damage of the fallopian tubes. Damage to the fallopian tubes can cause infertility and increase the risk of having an ectopic pregnancy, an instance in which the egg is implanted outside the uterus, which is life…

of the most likely explanation or cause of endometriosis leans more towards retrograde menstruation. During a retrograde menstruation the blood is believed to carry endometriosis cells, at this point the menstruation flows back right into the fallopian tube and into the pelvic cavity causing cells to attach to the pelvic organs and pelvic walls where they start to develop by thickening and bleeding over the course of the cycle. Regardless of the many theories there may be for this condition…
