disesaes of female reproductive system, and hormonal imbalance causes fibroids in females.
Endometriosis is the abnormal growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, which is commonly caused by retrograde menstruation or hormonal imbalances. Common sites of endometrial growth include the ovaries, cul-de-sac, and ligaments near the uterus. Symptoms include painful periods, pain with bowel movements and urination, infertility, and menstrual disturbances. Sonography can detect rounded masses with homogeneous internal echoes and increased through transmission, appearing as endometriomas that may be cystic or solid. Surgical removal is more effective for treatment than hormonal therapy alone.
Adenomyosis and its Sonographic AppearanceAqib Umair
Adenomyosis occurs when endometrial tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. There are two types: diffuse, where tissue is scattered throughout the wall, and focal, where it grows in specific locations. Symptoms include pelvic pain, enlarged uterus, abnormal bleeding, and painful periods. Ultrasound can detect an enlarged uterus without masses and small cysts in the wall. Treatment options include hormone therapy, while hysterectomy provides the most effective treatment by removing the affected uterus.
A breast abscess is a pocket of pus that forms in the breast, usually caused by a Staphylococcus aureus bacterial infection entering through a scratch or tear in the skin or nipple. Symptoms include breast swelling, pain, discharge and tenderness. Diagnosis involves physical exam, imaging like mammogram, and sometimes biopsy. Treatment is antibiotics for 7-10 days and sometimes drainage of the abscess. Preventing nipple cracking and maintaining hygiene can reduce risk of breast abscess. Complications can include chronic infection, pain, scarring or life-threatening sepsis if not properly treated.

What is endometriosis and how does it affect fertility and your ability to ge...Carlos Rangel
Endometriosis is a disorder where tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus, often in the ovaries or fallopian tubes. It affects over 11% of American women between 15-44 years old and can make it harder to get pregnant. The inflammation and scarring caused by endometriosis can damage the fallopian tubes and prevent eggs from reaching the uterus. While endometriosis may decrease fertility, treatments like surgery and assisted reproduction technologies can help improve chances of pregnancy. Symptoms include severe menstrual cramps and pain with intercourse.

Endometriosis is a disorder where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, most commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and tissues lining the pelvis. Main symptoms include pelvic pain and infertility in nearly half of those affected. While the exact cause is unknown, possible explanations include retrograde menstruation, transformation of peritoneal cells, and transportation of endometrial cells through blood or lymphatic vessels. Treatment options include pain medication, hormone therapy using contraceptives or GnRH agonists/antagonists, and surgery for severe cases or infertility.
Simran presented a seminar on uterine fibroids to Professor Bhupinder Kaur. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop from the muscles of the uterus. They are very common, affecting up to 80% of women by age 50. Fibroids can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and fertility problems. Diagnosis involves ultrasound or MRI. Treatment options include medication, surgery to remove fibroids (myomectomy), or complete hysterectomy. Nursing care focuses on managing pain and bleeding pre-and post-operatively, and educating patients.
Endometriosis occurs when the endometrial tissue that normally lines the uterus grows in other parts of the pelvis, such as ovaries or fallopian tubes. There are different types of endometriosis based on where the tissue is located.
Bladder endometriosis is a rare form of the disease. It occurs when endometrial tissue grows inside or on the surface of the bladder.
Fibroids may run in the family. What about hormones?Jia Maheshwari
Causes of fibroids aren’t yet known, but family history could predispose you to suffer this painful condition. It couldbe hormonal too. Early diagnosis through an ultrasound can significantly help, so have heavy menstrual bleeding and cramps checked out asap.
Endometritis is caused by an infection in the uterus. It can be due to chlamydia, gonorrhea, tuberculosis, or a mix of normal vaginal bacteria. It is more likely to occur after miscarriage or childbirth. It is also more common after a long labor or C-section.
Keith Reisler, MD, of Plano, TX, specializes in offering personalized care to his obstetrics and gynecological patients. In addition to offering non-invasive solutions for various medical issues, Dr. Keith Reisler also treats patients in his Plano, TX, office who suffer from conditions such as endometriosis.
The document discusses the internal anatomy of the uterus, defining fibroids as benign tumors arising from the smooth muscles of the uterus. It notes that fibroids are most common in women over 30 and in African/Caribbean women. Symptoms include abnormal uterine bleeding, pain, and pressure effects. Ultrasound is the primary investigation. Treatment options include conservative management, medical therapy using GnRH analogues, and surgical options of myomectomy or hysterectomy depending on factors like age and desire for future fertility. Complications include degeneration, sarcomatous change, infection, and torsion. Differential diagnosis includes other pelvic masses and causes of bleeding. Pregnancy can affect fibroids and fibroids can impact pregnancy
Endometritis is an inflammation of the uterine lining caused by an infection, usually due to bacteria entering the uterus after childbirth or certain medical procedures. Common symptoms include abnormal bleeding, discharge, fever and abdominal pain. Diagnosis involves physical exam, cultures and other tests. Treatment involves antibiotics, rest, and treating any sexual partners. Without treatment, complications like infertility or pelvic infection can occur. Risk can be reduced through sterile medical techniques and preventing sexually transmitted infections.
Pelvic pain can be caused by a wide range of conditions affecting the reproductive, urinary, digestive, and musculoskeletal systems. Some common causes of pelvic pain include appendicitis, irritable bowel syndrome, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, sexually transmitted diseases, and scar tissue formation. Chronic pelvic pain lasting over 6 months may interfere with daily life and requires diagnosis and treatment from a doctor to identify the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that arise from the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. They are the most common pelvic tumor in women. Fibroids can be classified based on their location within the uterus as submucosal, intramural, subserosal, or cervical. Symptoms depend on the size and location of fibroids and include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure or pain, and reproductive complications like infertility. Diagnosis involves history, physical exam, pelvic ultrasound, and sometimes additional imaging like MRI.
This document discusses ovarian tumors. It notes that ovarian tumors can be cystic or solid, functional, benign or malignant. In reproductive-aged women, most ovarian enlargements are functional cysts, while 25% prove to be nonfunctional neoplasms of which 90% are benign. Ovarian masses in postmenopausal patients or those unresponsive to birth control present a higher risk of malignancy. Evaluation involves examination and imaging like ultrasound. Common benign ovarian tumors include serous cystadenomas, mucinous cystadenomas, dermoid cysts, and granulosa cell tumors. Complications can include torsion, rupture, hemorrhage, and infection. Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer in

It discusses macrominerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate as well as microminerals like iron, copper, and zinc. For each mineral, it provides the normal levels in blood and consequences of deficiencies and excess levels, known as hypotremia/hypernatremia, hypokalemia/hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia/hypercalcemia, and hypozincemia. It also discusses diseases related to mineral imbalances like Wilson's disease which causes copper accumulation. Overall, the document emphasizes that minerals are essential for proper blood clotting and maintaining normal physiological functions.
This document discusses several concepts related to genetics and inheritance patterns:
1. Quantitative or polygenic inheritance involves two or more pairs of non-allelic genes that have a cumulative, additive effect on quantitative traits like height. Environmental factors also influence phenotypic expression.
2. Multiple alleles occupy the same locus and control the same character, with one allele dominant over the others. Examples include eye color in fruit flies and blood groups in humans.
3. Sex determination systems include chromosomal (XX-XY and XX-XO types), genic balance, hormonal influence, and environmental factors determining sex in some species. The chromosomal theory states genes are located on chromosomes that serve as vehicles for gene segregation

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

1. Prayer for Providers of Health Care
Gracious Provider of Care and Protection, we remember and stand with health
care professionals who furnish health care for us. We give thanks for their
commitment to protect the privacy of their patients and to treat them with the
dignity and respect they deserve.
We give thanks especially for the doctors and nurses and other health care
workers who serve the reproductive health care needs. Who train us to use
contraception safely and responsibly, who educate teenagers about intercourse
and its consequences, who counsel us at risk to have children with genetic and
hereditary problems, who explore options with women who have problem
pregnancies, who refer couples to responsible adoption agencies, who recognize
the rights of women to make reproductive choices.
We pray for an end to the rhetoric and violent acts that target health care
providers, and pray for the day when health care providers, women and their
families, can exercise their rights to reproductive choice in security and peace.
Let us pause now for a moment of silence to remember all who have lost their
lives, and for those who have been injured in attacks all across our country.
(Silence)
Help us, Gracious God, to stand together with these courageous and caring
people who continue to do your holy work.
Amen.
2. Poem for Reproductive Health
Epididymitis, Orchitis,
Endometriosis,
Fibroid Tumors, Vaginitis,
Prostate Cancer;
And like babies born to teenage mothers!
But with your mind and your body to the muse of the world.
Pain and blood,
Larger and stronger!
And the universal law is always around us;
But the respect for others is what we need.
I am your soul brother and you are my soul sister,
But we have to watch out carefully for these diseases!
Because the universal law is always around us.
4. Epididymitis
• Epididymitis is most common between the ages of 18
and 40, but children can get it, too. Boys who
experience painful urination, have a history of urinary
tract infections, abnormal bladder function, or
abnormalities of the genitals and urinary structures are
more inclined to get epididymitis. It is seldom found in
adolescents who aren't sexually active.
• In adults, epididymitis is the most common cause of
pain in the scrotum, and in adolescents, the second
most common cause. The acute form is usually
associated with the most severe pain and swelling. If
symptoms last for more than six weeks after treatment
begins, the condition is considered chronic.
• The infection is especially common among members of
the military who exercise for extended periods without
emptying their bladders.
6. Symptoms of Epididymitis
• Blood in the semen
• Discharge from the urethra (the opening at
the end of the penis)
• Discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvis
• Fever
• Groin pain
• Lump in the testicle
• Pain during ejaculation
• Pain or burning during urination
• Painful scrotal swelling (epididymis is
enlarged)
• Tender, swollen groin area on affected side
• Testicle pain that gets worse during a bowel
movement.
7. Treatment:
• You may need pain medications and
anti-inflammatory medications.
• Bed rest, while elevating the
scrotum and applying ice packs to
the area, is recommended. It is very
important to have a follow-up visit
with your health care provider to
find out whether the infection has
gone away completely.
8. Orchitis
• Viral mumps is the most common cause of
orchitis. Bacterial infections associated with
the disorder are tuberculosis, syphilis,
gonorrhea, and chlamydia. A mechanical
injury to the groin area may also cause
orchitis. Fifteen to twenty-five percent of
males past the age of puberty with mumps
develop orchitis. Epididymo-orchitis
(inflammation of both testis and part of the
spermatic duct) is the most common
bacterial type of Orchitis. This form of the
condition occurs most often in sexually
active males fifteen years and older, and in
men over 45 with enlarged prostates.
10. Symptoms of Orchitis
• Blood in the semen
• Discharge from penis
• Fever
• Groin pain
• Pain with intercourse or ejaculation
• Pain with urination (dysuria)
• Scrotal swelling
• Tender, swollen groin area on affected side
• Tender, swollen, heavy feeling in the testicle
• Testicle pain that is made worse by a bowel
movement or straining.
11. Treatments:
Treatments may include:
• Antibiotics -- if the infection is
caused by bacteria (in the case of
gonorrhea or chlamydia, sexual
partners must also be treated)
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Pain medications
• Bed rest with the scrotum elevated
and ice packs applied to the area.
12. Fibroid Tumors or
Fibromyomas
Uterine fibroid tumors are almost always benign. These
benign (non-cancerous) tumors are found in most
cases, in the uterus of women in their 30's and 40's.
Fibroid tumors are solid tumors which are made of
fibrous tissue, hence the name 'fibroid' tumor. Most
often fibroids occur as multiple tumor masses which are
slow-growing and often cause no symptoms.
The size of fibroids varies immensely among women
and some are so small that a microscope is required to
see them. However some women experience a single
large fibroid tumor the size of a grapefruit or a fibroid
which is so large it encompasses the entire abdominal
area. Such large tumors can weigh as much as 50
pounds; the largest, reported, fibroid ever recorded
weighed in at 140 pounds.
13. Types Of Fibroid Tumors
• Submucous Fibroids
These fibroids occur just below the lining
of the uterus and can cause menstrual
problems, including pain as they grow and
move around the pelvic area.
• Intramural Fibroids
A round fibroid most often within
the uterine wall which can cause
enlargement of the uterus as they grow.
• Subserous Fibroids
This fibroid grows on the outer wall
of the uterus and usually causes no
symptoms until it grows large enough to
interfere with other organs.
14. •Pedunculated Fibroids
These fibroids develop when a
subserous fibroid grows a peduncle (stalk), as
they grow larger they may become twisted and
cause severe pain.
Interligamentous Fibroid
A fibroid which grows sideways
between the ligaments which support the
uterus in the abdominal region. This type of
fibroid is especially difficult to remove without
the possibility of interfering with the blood
supply or other organs.
Parasitic Fibroid
The rarest form of fibroid
tumor occurs when a fibroid attaches itself to
another organ.
17. Treatments: Traditional Fibroid
Tumor Treatments
Alternative Fibroid Tumor Treatments
Traditional Fibroid Tumor Treatments
• Watchful waiting, often no treatment is necessary
• Hysterectomy
– is the surgical removal of the uterus, usually performed by
a gynecologist. Hysterectomy may be total (removing the
body, fundus, and cervix of the uterus; often called
"complete") or partial (removal of the uterine body while
leaving the cervix intact; also called "supracervical").
18. Alternative Fibroid Tumor
Treatments
• Uterine fibroid embolization
– In a UFE procedure, physicians use an x-ray camera
called a fluoroscope to guide the delivery of small
particles to the uterus and fibroids. The small particles
are injected through a thin, flexible tube called a
catheter. These block the arteries that provide blood
flow, causing the fibroids to shrink. Nearly 90 percent
of women with fibroids experience relief of their
symptoms.
• Myomectomy
– Myomectomy, sometimes also fibroidectomy, refers
to the surgical removal of uterine leiomyomas, also
known as fibroids. In contrast to a hysterectomy the
uterus remains preserved and the woman retains her
reproductive potential.
19. Endometriosis
• Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that
behaves like the cells lining the uterus (endometrium)
grows in other areas of the body, causing pain, irregular
bleeding, and possible infertility.
• The tissue growth (implant) typically occurs in the pelvic
area, outside of the uterus, on the ovaries, bowel,
rectum, bladder, and the delicate lining of the pelvis.
However, the implants can occur in other areas of the
body, too.
• a condition in which bits of tissue similar to the lining of
the uterus (endometrium) grow in other parts of the
body (and within the uterus). Like the uterine lining, this
tissue builds up and sheds in response to monthly
hormonal cycles. The blood discarded from these
implants falls onto surrounding organs, causing swelling
and inflammation. This repeated irritation leads to the
development of scar tissue and adhesions.
20.
21. Symptoms of Endometriosis
• Painful periods
• Pain in the lower abdomen or pelvic cramps that can
be felt for a week or two before menstruation
• Pain in the lower abdomen felt during menstruation
(the pain and cramps may be steady and dull or
severe)
• Pain during or following sexual intercourse
• Pain with bowel movements
• Pelvic or low back pain that may occur at any time
during the menstrual cycle.
22. Treatments:
»Treatment options include:
• Medications to control pain
• Medications to stop the endometriosis from
getting worse
• Surgery to remove the areas of endometriosis
• Hysterectomy with removal of both ovaries
23. Vaginitis
• Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina.It can
result in discharge, itching and pain, and is often
associated with an irritation or infection of the
vulva. It is usually due to infection.The three main
kinds of vaginitis are bacterial vaginosis
(BV), vaginal candidiasis, and trichomoniasis.
• A woman may have any combination of vaginal
infections at one time. The symptoms that arise
vary with the infection, although there are general
symptoms that all vaginitis infections have and
infected women may also be asymptomatic.
• Testing for vaginal infections is not a part of routine
pelvic exams; therefore, women should neither
assume their health care providers will know of the
infection, nor that they will provide appropriate
treatment without their input.
24. Types of Vaginitis
• There are a several different kinds of vaginitis, each
with their own causes and symptoms:
• Yeast infections
– Candida or "yeast" infections - Yeast infections
of the vagina are probably the most familiar
form of vaginitis. They occur when too much of
the fungus Candida grows in the vagina.
– Yeast infections produce a thick, white
discharge from the vagina that can look like
cottage cheese. The discharge can be watery
and often has no smell. Yeast infections usually
cause the vagina and vulva (the area outside
the vagina) to become itchy and red.
25. • Bacterial Infections
– Bacterial vaginosis - Bacterial vaginosis is the most
common vaginal infection in women of reproductive
age. It is caused by an overgrowth of bacteria that are
usually present in the vagina.
– Bacterial vaginosis will often cause a thin, milky
vaginal discharge that may have a "fishy" odor. Many
women with bacterial vaginosis have no symptoms and
only discover they have it during a routine gynecologic
exam.
• Trichomoniasis - Trichomoniasis is a sexually
transmitted disease that is caused by a single-cell
parasite. It can cause vaginal itching, burning, and
soreness of the vagina and vulva, as well as burning
during urination. Many women with trichomoniasis do not
develop any symptoms.
27. Symptoms of Vaginitis
• Vaginal discharge
• Vaginal odor
• Foul-smelling vaginal discharge
• Watery vaginal discharge - for allergic vaginitis
• Vaginal irritation
• Vaginal itching
• Itching vulva
• Red vulva
• Vaginal discomfort
• Urination discomfort
• Sexual intercourse discomfort
• No symptoms - not all cases of vaginitis have
symptoms
28. Treatments:
• Antibiotic medications are used to treat vaginitis
due to sexually transmitted diseases caused by
bacteria, such as chlamydia, or by the parasite
trichomoniasis.
• Antifungal creams or pills are used to treat vaginitis
caused by a yeast infection.
• Antiviral medications are used to treat vaginitis due
to genital herpes. These medications can help to
minimize the irritation and pain caused by herpes
in the vaginal area.
• Treatment of a noninfectious vaginitis caused by a
sensitivity or allergy to a certain substance includes
avoiding exposure to the substance. Topical creams
may be prescribed to ease the discomfort of itching
and burning.
29. Prostate Cancer
• Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that develops
in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive
system. Most prostate cancers are slow growing;
however, there are cases of aggressive prostate
cancers. The cancer cells may metastasize
(spread) from the prostate to other parts of the
body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes.
Prostate cancer may cause pain, difficulty in
urinating, problems during sexual intercourse, or
erectile dysfunction. Other symptoms can
potentially develop during later stages of the
disease.
31. Symtoms of Prostate
Cancer
• Urinary hesitancy (delayed or slowed start of urinary
stream)
• Pain with urination
• Pain with ejaculation
• Lower back pain
• Pain with bowel movement
• Excessive urination at night
• Urinary leakage (incontinence)
• Bone pain or tenderness
• Blood in the urine (hematuria)
• Abdominal pain
• Low red blood cell count (anemia)
• Unintentional weight loss
32. Treatments:
• The appropriate treatment for prostate cancer is not
clear. Treatment options vary based on the stage of the
tumor. In the early stages, talk to your doctor about
several options including surgery, radiation
therapy, or, in older patients, monitoring the cancer
without active treatment.
• Prostate cancer that has spread may be treated with
drugs to reduce testosterone levels, surgery to remove
the testes, or chemotherapy.
• Surgery, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy can
interfere with sexual desire or performance on either a
temporary or permanent basis. Discuss your concerns
with your health care provider.
