Infertility is defined as the failure to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse. It affects around 10-15% of couples. The main causes of infertility in females are ovulation disorders (40%) and fallopian tube damage (30-40%), while in males it is poor sperm quality (30-40%). Diagnostic tests include hormone levels, ultrasound, HSG and laparoscopy. Treatment depends on the cause but may include fertility drugs, IUI, IVF or surgery. IVF involves fertilizing eggs with sperm in a lab and then transferring the embryos into the uterus.
This document provides an overview of infertility, including its definition, classification, factors, investigations, and management. It defines infertility as one year of unprotected intercourse without conception (or six months for women over 35). The causes are classified as female factors (30%), male factors (30%), both (30%), or unknown (10%). Common female factors include problems with the cervix, uterus, tubes, ovaries, or peritoneum. Male factors can be pre-testicular, testicular, or post-testicular. Initial investigations include medical history, examination, and basic tests/hormone levels, with referral recommended for advanced testing or treatment. Lifestyle changes and counseling are the primary management approaches in primary care.
This document provides an overview of common investigations in gynecology, including blood tests, urine analysis, cervical and vaginal discharge collection and examination, exfoliative cytology (Pap smear), colposcopy, culdocentesis, hormonal assays, and imaging techniques. The key points covered include how various samples are collected, what they are tested for, and what normal and abnormal results may indicate.

1) Congenital anomalies of the female genital tract refer to any physical abnormalities present at birth. The causes are mostly unknown but may involve hormone deficiencies, excesses, genetic factors or exposure to harmful substances.
2) Some common external anomalies include perineal or vestibular anus, ectopic ureters, and hymen abnormalities like imperforate hymen. Internal anomalies affect the vagina, uterus and ovaries.
3) Uterine anomalies are classified by the American Fertility Society and include conditions like arcuate uterus, bicornuate uterus, septate uterus and DES-related abnormalities. Clinical features may include infertility, dyspareunia and menstrual or obstet
This document discusses female infertility, including its causes, risks, and treatment options. It defines infertility as the inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sex. Common causes include physical obstructions in the reproductive system from conditions like endometriosis, hormonal imbalances, fertilization issues, and problems in early embryonic development. Lifestyle factors like age, stress, smoking, and weight can also impact fertility. Treatment may involve medication, surgery, artificial insemination, or assisted reproductive technologies like IVF. Adoption and counseling are recommended for coping with infertility.
This document discusses various assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), and zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT). It provides a brief history of ART and describes techniques like ovarian stimulation protocols, oocyte retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis. Potential indications for ART include tubal factor infertility, endometriosis, and male factor infertility. Success rates are influenced by factors like maternal age and ovarian reserve.
This document defines infertility as failure to conceive within one year of regular unprotected sex. It discusses primary and secondary infertility and natural conception rates. The causes of infertility are outlined for both female and male factors. Investigation methods are described including indirect tests like hormone levels and direct tests like laparoscopy. Management is discussed for primary care including lifestyle changes and preconception advice. Secondary care management depends on the etiology and may include medications, surgery, and assisted reproduction techniques.
Management of postterm pregnancy involves balancing risks to the fetus and mother. Postterm is defined as past 42 weeks gestation. Accurately dating the pregnancy is important to avoid false diagnosis. Risks to the fetus include stillbirth, meconium aspiration, and macrosomia. Risks to the mother include dystocia and infection. Studies show inducing labor at 41 weeks reduces stillbirths without increasing C-sections. Methods of antenatal testing after 41 weeks are debated, though monitoring is recommended. While an unfavorable cervix was viewed as a risk factor for C-section, recent evidence suggests underlying issues may be more important. Further research is needed to determine the optimal time for induction to minimize risks

Female and male infertility Causes & Management by Asar KhanAsar Khan
In this Presentation we have included the male and female infertility their causes and Management. we hope that it will provide you some basic information regarding this issues.
This document discusses abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) or menorrhagia in puberty. It lists various potential causes of AUB including anovulation, polyps, adenomyosis, leiomyoma, and bleeding disorders. Anovulation due to an immature hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis is the most common cause. The document provides guidelines on evaluating AUB, including taking a detailed history, physical exam, lab tests, and ultrasound. Differential diagnoses are discussed. Bleeding disorders are more commonly platelet dysfunction disorders in Southeast Asia, unlike the West where Von Willebrand disease is more common.
This document discusses genital prolapse, defined as the protrusion of a pelvic organ beyond normal anatomical boundaries. It describes the three main types - uterine, vaginal, and vault prolapse. Risk factors include congenital weakness, childbirth injuries, and menopause. Symptoms include feeling of something coming down and bearing down. Examination is done with the patient in lateral or Sims position while bearing down or coughing. Treatment options discussed are pessary use and surgery. Pessaries can be used during pregnancy, as a test for surgery, or for symptomatic relief in unfit patients.
Primary amenorrhea is defined as no menstrual periods by age 16. Investigations into primary amenorrhea depend on whether secondary sex characteristics are present or absent. Causes can be physiological, pathological, anatomical, endocrinological, or chromosomal. Common causes include hypothalamic or pituitary disorders, chromosomal abnormalities like Turner's syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, androgen insensitivity syndrome, or müllerian agenesis. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include hormone replacement therapy, vaginal dilation, vaginoplasty, or gonadectomy.
This document discusses genitourinary fistulas, including their classification, causes, symptoms, investigations, management, and prevention. The main types of fistulas are vesicovaginal, urethrovaginal, and ureterovaginal. Obstetric causes like obstructed labor are common in developing countries, while surgical trauma is more common in developed countries. Symptoms include continuous urine leakage. Investigations include dye tests and imaging. Management depends on the fistula type and complexity, and may involve surgical repair techniques like saucerization. Prevention focuses on adequate obstetric and surgical care to avoid injury.
Diagnostic evaluation of the infertile femaleAsaad Hashim
This document provides an overview of the diagnostic evaluation process for an infertile female. It discusses the typical causes of female infertility, including ovulatory disorders, endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, and tubal blockage. The evaluation involves assessing the reproductive axis through history, physical exam, tests of ovarian reserve, ovulation, tubal patency, and detection of uterine or peritoneal abnormalities. Common tests include hormonal assays, ultrasound, hysterosalpingography, laparoscopy, and semen analysis of the male partner. The goal is to identify any treatable causes of infertility and guide treatment decisions.
This document discusses infertility, including its definition, causes, investigations, and treatments. It defines primary and secondary infertility and notes that most couples conceive within 1-2 years. Major causes of male infertility include varicocele, infections, genetic issues, and immunological factors. For females, common causes are ovulatory disorders, tubal damage from infections, uterine factors like fibroids, and endometriosis. Investigations involve medical histories, physical exams, and lab tests. Treatments include lifestyle changes, medications to induce ovulation, surgery to repair tubes or treat endometriosis, and assisted reproductive technologies like IVF for severe cases. The prognosis is that 30-40% of couples conceive within 2 years with treatments.
Cervical cerclage is a surgical procedure where stitches are placed around the cervix to help prevent preterm birth. There are different types of cerclage indicated for various high-risk situations like previous preterm births, cervical insufficiency, or short cervix found on ultrasound. Cerclage can be placed transvaginally or transabdominally depending on the situation. Risks include infection or early rupture of membranes, but cerclage has been shown to delay delivery by 5 weeks on average in rescue situations. The cerclage is usually removed between 36-37 weeks to allow for normal vaginal delivery. Cervical pessaries are a non-surgical alternative that can also help support the
CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF AMENORRHOEA BY DR SHASHWAT JANIDR SHASHWAT JANI
This clinical document provides guidelines for evaluating and managing amenorrhea. It defines primary and secondary amenorrhea and outlines the pathophysiology. The evaluation involves assessing the patient's history, physical exam, ultrasound and hormonal levels. Common causes include polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, hypothalamic issues, weight-related causes, and structural issues. Management aims to restore ovulation if possible or provide hormone replacement therapy to prevent health issues from estrogen deficiency.
Recurrent abortion is defined as 3 or more consecutive spontaneous abortions and can be primary or secondary. It has many potential etiologies including maternal disorders, hormonal imbalances, cervical incompetence, fetal chromosomal defects, immunological factors, infections, and idiopathic causes. Cervical incompetence specifically refers to painless cervical dilation in the second or third trimester leading to premature delivery, and it can be investigated through cervical exams, ultrasound, and cervicograms. Investigations for recurrent abortion include blood tests, imaging, and cervical cultures to identify potential causes, with management tailored to any underlying issues found.
This document outlines the investigation process for an infertile couple. It details the steps taken to evaluate both female and male fertility, including collecting medical histories, performing physical exams, analyzing blood and hormonal levels, screening for infections, and conducting imaging and other diagnostic tests. Key tests and factors examined for females include cervical, uterine, tubal, ovarian and other issues, while for males areas like sexual function, medical history, genetic factors and semen analysis are evaluated. The goal is to identify any biological causes of infertility and determine appropriate treatment options.
Preconception counseling involves obtaining medical histories from both parents and performing physical exams on prospective mothers. This aims to minimize health risks for mothers and fetuses by identifying preexisting conditions and providing counseling. Counseling covers topics like folic acid supplementation to prevent neural tube defects, maintaining control of chronic conditions like diabetes before pregnancy, vaccinations, genetic screening, lifestyle factors, and nutritional needs. The goal is to optimize women's health before conception and promote healthy pregnancies.
This document discusses various conditions related to menstruation and the female reproductive system. It provides information on normal menstrual cycles and what constitutes irregular or abnormal bleeding. It describes specific conditions such as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, oligomenorrhea, premature ovarian failure, uterine fibroids, and endometriosis. For each condition, it outlines common signs and symptoms women may experience.
This document provides an overview of the diagnosis and management of male infertility. It discusses evaluating the patient's history including reproductive, medical, surgical, medication/toxin exposure and family histories. Physical exam and lab tests including semen analysis and hormones are also important. Common causes of male infertility discussed include varicocele, cryptorchidism, infections, cancers, medications/toxins and genetic factors. Lifestyle factors that can impact fertility are also addressed.
Infertility affects approximately 10-15% of couples in the United States who have been trying to conceive without success for at least 1 year. It can be caused by problems with the woman's eggs, fallopian tubes, or hormones, or by issues with the man's sperm production or quality. While infertility was once thought to only be a woman's issue, today it is known that male and female factors each account for about one-third of infertility cases, with the remaining cases due to problems with both partners or unexplained causes. Treatments may include hormone therapy, surgery, assisted reproduction techniques like IVF, or alternative options such as adoption.
This document provides information on preterm labour and preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). It defines preterm labour as onset of labour before 37 weeks of gestation. Risk factors for preterm labour include infections, cervical weakness, smoking, and a history of prior preterm births. Diagnosis involves documenting uterine contractions and assessing cervical changes. Tocolytics can be used to delay labour up to 72 hours to allow for steroid administration. Management may include antibiotics, monitoring, and planning for neonatal intensive care. PPROM is defined as rupture of membranes before 37 weeks and contributes to one third of preterm births.
The document discusses diagnostic tests for infertility. It suggests that semen analysis, tests for ovulation like serum progesterone, and tests for tubal patency like hysterosalpingography are the basic essential tests. Other tests may have a role in some cases but are not routinely needed. Performing too many tests risks delaying treatment unnecessarily as fertility declines with age. Laparoscopy is best used for further diagnosis or combined with surgery.
This document discusses infertility, including its definition, causes, evaluation, and management. It notes that infertility affects approximately 1 in 7 couples in the UK. Evaluation involves assessing both partners for potential medical causes through history, examination, tests, and procedures. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes to surgery to assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF, depending on the underlying cause. The majority of young couples without known issues will conceive naturally within 2 years.
Infertility affects couples worldwide, with an average incidence of about 15%. Evaluation of both female and male partners is essential to determine the cause, which can be female factors, male factors, or a combination. Treatment options depend on the cause and range from ovulation-inducing drugs, surgery, and assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization.

Here are the key points about hCG:
- hCG is a hormone produced in pregnancy that helps maintain the corpus luteum to support early pregnancy.
- It is used to induce ovulation by mimicking LH and causing follicles to rupture and release eggs, increasing chances of pregnancy.
- Indications for use include anovulation, PCOS, and irregular periods.
- It is administered via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection in dosages of 5,000 to 10,000 IU when monitoring shows a mature follicle after ovulation induction treatment.
- By mimicking the LH surge, it helps the mature follicle release its egg, supporting the process of induced ovulation. Its role is to help

This document provides information about male infertility from the Department of Urology Education. It defines infertility as the inability to reproduce, distinguishing it from impotence. Approximately 10% of couples are affected by infertility, with 1/3 of cases attributable to male factors alone, such as abnormalities, disorders of sperm production, or ejaculatory issues. Risk factors for male infertility include infections, genetic conditions, environmental exposures, lifestyle factors like smoking, and anatomical abnormalities. Diagnosis involves medical history and seeing a specialist if a couple tries unsuccessfully to conceive for over a year through unprotected intercourse.
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse. It affects approximately 15% of reproductive couples. Both male and female factors contribute to infertility, with abnormal spermatogenesis and anatomic defects being the most common causes in men and women, respectively. A thorough evaluation includes history, physical exam, semen analysis, ovulation testing, and imaging to determine the underlying cause so that appropriate treatment can be initiated. Unexplained infertility accounts for 10-20% of cases.
The document provides tips and information about the California Standards Tests (CST).

The document discusses the causes and treatment of female infertility. It outlines various causative factors including problems with the fallopian tubes, ovulation, endometriosis, cervical or uterine issues, and other behavioral and environmental factors. Diagnostic tests like hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy are used to identify issues. Treatments include fertility drugs to stimulate ovulation, surgery to repair damaged tubes, and IVF which involves retrieving eggs, fertilizing them with sperm in vitro, and transferring embryos into the uterus. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, treating existing diseases, and not delaying parenthood can help prevent some cases of infertility.
This document provides an overview of infertility, including its definition, types, incidence, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and the role of midwives. It defines infertility as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected sex. Various female and male factors that can cause infertility are described. Diagnostic tests for both men and women are outlined. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, fertility drugs, surgery, and assisted reproductive technologies like IUI, IVF, and ICSI. The importance of infertility counseling to help couples cope with emotional aspects is also discussed.
The document discusses infertility, including its definition, causes, risk factors, diagnostic evaluation, management, and prevention. Infertility is defined as the failure to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse. It can be caused by issues with ovulation, fallopian tubes, or the uterus. Diagnostic evaluations include medical history, exams, and tests of hormones and reproductive organs. Treatments include fertility drugs, surgery, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Prevention focuses on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and treating existing diseases early.
IVF involves stimulating a woman's ovaries to develop multiple eggs, retrieving the eggs and fertilizing them with sperm in a lab, then transferring the resulting embryos into the woman's uterus. It is the most common form of assisted reproductive technology. The IVF process typically takes 4-6 weeks and involves taking fertility drugs over 8-14 days to develop eggs, ultrasounds to monitor follicle growth, a trigger shot to mature the eggs, retrieving 8-15 eggs from the ovaries, fertilizing the eggs in a lab, selecting the best embryos to transfer 3-5 days later, and transferring 1-5 embryos into the uterus. Success rates vary depending on age but are around 40% for women under 35.
IVF involves fertilizing eggs with sperm in a lab and then transferring the embryos into the uterus. It is the most common form of assisted reproductive technology. The IVF process typically involves ovarian stimulation with fertility drugs, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. Success rates vary depending on factors like the age of the woman but on average are around 40% for women under 35. IVF can enable pregnancy for issues like blocked tubes, low egg quality, or male factor infertility but it is a costly and time-intensive process.

Infertility in male and female.pptx for Nursing studentsankitarya2550
Infertility is a condition referred to unavailability to conceive after continue one year of regular coitus without using any kind of contraceptive and family planning methodology.
Infertility can be caused by female or male factors and is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular unprotected sex. Common causes include problems with ovulation, the fallopian tubes, sperm quality, or other issues. Treatment may include fertility drugs to stimulate ovulation, surgery to repair damaged reproductive organs, artificial insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), or other assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like GIFT or ZIFT. The goal of treatment is to address the underlying cause of infertility and increase the chances of conception and pregnancy.
This document discusses infertility, including its definition, causes, diagnostic evaluation, and management. It notes that infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse. The causes of infertility can be male factors related to sperm production or transport, female factors related to ovulation or egg/hormone problems, or combined factors in both partners. Diagnostic evaluation involves medical histories, physical exams, sperm analysis, hormone testing, imaging of reproductive organs, and other tests to identify treatable causes. Management depends on the underlying causes and may include lifestyle changes, surgery, assisted reproductive technologies like IVF, or alternatives to childbirth like adoption.
Female Infertility can be caused by physical obstructions like endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease blocking the fallopian tubes, hormonal issues interfering with ovulation, or problems with fertilization or early development. Around 12% of women experience infertility, which is generally treated through fertility drugs, surgery, artificial insemination or assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization. Coping strategies include considering other family planning options, seeking counseling or support groups, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to potentially overcome infertility issues.
The Assisted Reproductive Techniques - ART (IVF, IUI, ZIFT, GIFT, ICSI etc.)Muhammad Anas Shamsi
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is used to treat infertility. It includes fertility treatments that handle both a woman's egg and a man's sperm. It works by removing eggs from a woman's body. The eggs are then mixed with sperm to make embryos. The embryos are then put back in the woman's body. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most common and effective type of ART.
discussion of the condition leading into a possible female infertility, how to avoid such conditions, how to treat and address them, and raise awareness for both doctors and patients.
This document discusses infertility and in vitro fertilization (IVF). It begins by explaining that infertility affects approximately 6 million individuals each year who have difficulty conceiving despite trying for months or years. Due to medical advances, IVF and other assisted reproduction methods now allow many couples to have children. IVF involves fertilizing eggs with sperm in a lab dish and then transferring the embryos into the woman's uterus. The success rates of IVF are approximately 37% for women under 35 and 28% for women over 35. Nurses play an important role in supporting patients throughout the IVF process.
The document discusses normal pregnancy implantation and ectopic pregnancy, including their definitions, sites of occurrence, symptoms, signs, risk factors, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis. An ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy that occurs outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tubes. Risk factors include pelvic inflammatory disease, prior ectopic pregnancy, smoking, assisted reproduction techniques, and IUCD use.
Assisted reproductive technology treats infertility and the treatment involves both a man's sperm and a woman's egg. The procedure begins by extracting eggs from a woman's body and then fusing it with the sperm to generate embryos. This embryo is then transferred back into the woman's body.
ART refers to methods used to achieve pregnancy by artificial or partially artificial means.
• INCLUDES- artificial insemination, In vitro fertilization (IVF) , Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) or Tubal Embryo Transfer, Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) , Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
This document provides definitions and explanations related to electrolysis. It defines key terms like electrolyte, electrode, anode, and cathode. It explains that electrolysis involves the decomposition of ionic compounds through the movement of ions when a current is passed. Molten salts and those dissolved in solutions conduct electricity because the ions are free to move. Simple experiments are described to demonstrate electrolysis, including the electrolysis of molten lead(II) bromide. Equations are given for the reactions at the anode and cathode.
This document describes a flame test experiment to identify metals based on the color they produce in a Bunsen flame. The experiment lists various metal compounds and the colors they produce, including lithium (crimson red), sodium (yellow), potassium (lilac), calcium (orange), strontium (red) and barium (green). It explains that the flame heats the metals, moving their electrons to higher energy levels, and as they cool the electrons fall back and emit characteristic colors.
The document describes the process of forming iron and steel using a blast furnace. It involves the following key steps:
1. Sinter is added to the top of the blast furnace. Air is blasted into the bottom to fuel reactions that melt the iron out of the sinter.
2. Molten iron collects at the bottom of the furnace and is tapped out periodically. Slag floats on top and is also tapped out. Wasted gases exit from the top.
3. The iron produced contains carbon and impurities, making it cast iron. Steel is made by removing carbon from cast iron through oxidation, then adding other metals to produce alloys with specific properties.
La escultura en España se caracterizó por los retablos, que se inspiraron en las formas delicadas del estilo rococó. Aunque incorporó rasgos más suaves e íntimos sin modificar el vocabulario barroco, se basó principalmente en los retablos. Algunos de los ejemplos más destacados se encuentran en la Granja de San Ildefonso, que tiene numerosos elementos mitológicos.

Las aguas continentales y marinas albergan una gran diversidad de vida, pero están amenazadas por vertidos industriales, residuos agrícolas, derrames de petróleo y desechos urbanos, lo que causa la desaparición de especies acuáticas y enfermedades. Para reducir la contaminación, los gobiernos deben promover medidas como la agricultura ecológica, la instalación de depuradoras
Ebola is a deadly virus that causes symptoms 2-21 days after infection and has a 25-90% fatality rate. It spreads through contact with body fluids and natural hosts are fruit bats, though it can be transmitted from gorillas to humans. While there is no licensed treatment or vaccine, survival is possible with proper nutrition and hydration. Regular hand washing and avoiding contact with infected individuals are important preventative measures.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

2. • Infertility is the inability to get pregnant after
a year of unprotected intercourse.
• Both men and women can be infertile.
3. • Women are born with a finite number of eggs.
• The number and quality of the eggs diminish
with age.
• chances of having a baby decrease by 3% to 5%
per year after the age of 30.
When the eggs are declining in number, women may begin having signs of menopause, or declining
ovarian reserve (irregular cycles, hot flashes, insomnia).
4.
5. • A blood test to check hormone levels
• An endometrial biopsy to check the lining of the
uterus
• Hysterosalpingography (HSG). ( X-rays of fallopian
tubes to see if they are blocked)
• Laparoscopy. (enables the doctor to view the outside of
the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes to detect abnormal
growth)
6.
7. • WEIGHT
-Overweight : Fertility medications may not work
Anorexia, bulimia or restrictive diets
-Excessive exercise-suppression of ovulation by
elevated endorphin levels along with reduced
body fat.
-Insulin resistance
-Difficulty when diabetes, hypertension and
preeclampsia.
Estrogen is stored in fat cells and can suppress ovulatory function.
8. SMOKING
Women who smoke one to two packs of cigarettes per day who started before
the age of eighteen are at a greater risk for infertility
(decreased ovarian reserve and have a lessened response to ovulation
induction medications. )
SMOKING
CAFFEINE
ALCOHOL

9. Damage to fallopian tubes
carry the eggs from the ovaries to the uterus
WHY : inability of contact between sperm and ovum
Hormonal causes
problems with ovulation.
WHY: the release of an egg from the ovary and lining of the
uterus in preparation for the fertilized egg do not occur.
Cervical causes.
the sperm cannot pass through the cervical canal.
WHY: abnormal mucus production or a prior cervical surgical
procedure
SOLUTION : may be treated with intrauterine inseminations.
11. Hysteroscopy

12. • is the process of fertilization by manually
combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory
dish, and then transferring the embryo to the
uterus.
13. • eggs are fertilized in a culture dish and placed into the uterus. The
woman takes drugs to stimulate multiple egg development. When
monitoring indicates that the eggs are mature, they are collected
using a vaginal ultrasound probe with a needle guide. The sperm
are collected, washed, and added to the eggs in a culture dish.
Several days later, embryos -- or fertilized eggs -- are returned to
the uterus using an intrauterine insemination catheter.
14.
15. Studies suggest that number of multiple births
have increased in numbers over the past several
years. Though birth of twins and triplets are
common, cases of quadruplets, quintuplets,
sextuplets are rare. The world's first surviving
septuplets were born in 1997
16. THIS IS WHY
High order multiples - more than three babies in the same womb - are
exceptionally rare and occur almost exclusively while the woman is
undergoing fertility treatment.
This is because several embryos are often implanted into her womb to
increase the chances of conception, and the fact that high hormone
levels, used in most fertility treatments, also increase the risk
While the rise in fertility treatment has lead to a roughly 75 per cent rise in
high order pregnancies, less than 1 per cent of women are affected and
cases of ten or more children are extremely uncommon.
If untreated, these cases almost always result in infant death as they lead
to premature birth, with the children unable to survive because their
organs have not yet developed properly.
