A medical abortion, also known as medication abortion, is a type of non-surgical abortion in which medication is used to bring about abortion. This inflammation is shared with the client in our Clinic.
A partogram is a graphical chart used to monitor and record the progress of labor. It allows healthcare providers to monitor factors like cervical dilation, fetal descent, fetal heart rate, uterine contractions and maternal vital signs over time. Recording this information on a partogram helps providers identify delays in labor progression early. It is recommended that a partogram be used to record the progress of all women in labor, whether low or high risk. Proper documentation on the partogram is important for continuity of care, decision making, research, review and defending medical actions if needed.
A missed abortion, or silent miscarriage, occurs when an embryo or fetus dies but is not expelled from the uterus. The placenta continues to release hormones, so pregnancy symptoms may persist despite no fetal heartbeat. Causes include chromosomal abnormalities, infections, or uterine defects. Diagnosis involves ultrasound, hCG monitoring, or cervical examination. Treatment options are medical management with misoprostol or surgical dilation and curettage. Complications may include infection or hemorrhage. Prevention focuses on modifiable risk factors like smoking, nutrition, and environmental exposures.
The document outlines the management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). It discusses forming a multidisciplinary team and performing general resuscitative measures like fluid replacement, blood transfusion, and monitoring vital signs. It also describes evaluating for causes of PPH and various medical, mechanical, surgical, and radiological methods to control bleeding, such as uterine massage, uterine packing, sutures, and arterial embolization. The principles of evaluating and treating secondary PPH related to infection are also covered.
Breech presentation refers to when the fetus is in a longitudinal lie with its buttocks as the lowest part. The document discusses the different types of breech presentations as well as their incidence, classifications, positions, etiology, diagnosis, and management both during pregnancy and delivery. Management during pregnancy includes attempting external cephalic version after 36 weeks to convert the fetus to head-first position. Management during delivery depends on factors such as gestational age and fetal/maternal conditions, and may involve vaginal delivery with assistance, total breech extraction, or cesarean section to avoid risks to the mother and fetus.
This document provides information on fibroids including their incidence, etiology, risk factors, symptoms, natural history, degenerative changes, diagnosis, effects on fertility and pregnancy, differential diagnosis, and treatment options. It notes that fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus that affect 5-20% of women during their reproductive years and discusses genetic, hormonal, and growth factors that contribute to their development. Common symptoms include abnormal uterine bleeding and pain. Treatment options include watchful waiting, medical therapy such as NSAIDs and GnRH agonists, and surgical options like myomectomy and uterine artery embolization.
This document describes the instruments and procedures involved in dilation and curettage (D&C). It explains that D&C involves dilating the cervix and then scraping the uterine lining using curettes. It provides details on the specific instruments in a D&C tray, including speculums, retractors, forceps, dilators, curettes, sounds, and spatulas. Each tool is defined and its uses in procedures like D&C, IUD insertion and removal, and examining the cervix and vagina are outlined.
The document discusses lower segment cesarean section (LSCS), including its indications, timing, surgical steps, and postoperative care. It describes the procedure in detail from preoperative preparation through incision, delivery of the fetus and placenta, suturing of the uterine wound, and postoperative monitoring over the first few days. Complications of LSCS and different types of cesarean sections are also briefly covered.

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. Risk factors include age over 35, previous pelvic or abdominal surgeries, STDs, and fertility treatments. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and shoulder pain. Diagnosis involves testing hCG levels in blood and transvaginal ultrasound. Treatment options are medication with methotrexate or laparoscopic surgery to remove the embryo and repair any damage, as rupture can cause life-threatening bleeding.
Medical termination of pregnancy can be performed using medical or surgical methods. Medical methods involve using medications like mifepristone and misoprostol to induce abortion. Surgical methods involve emptying the uterus using instruments. The MTP Act of 1971 legalized abortion in India and established conditions for when it can be performed and who is qualified to perform it. Common methods include mifepristone followed by misoprostol up to 9 weeks, and dilation and evacuation or prostaglandin administration in the second trimester. Effectiveness depends on gestational age and regimen used.
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, accounting for over 100,000 deaths per year. Active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL) involving prophylactic oxytocin, controlled cord traction, and uterine massage can prevent 60% of PPH cases. For women without risk factors, oxytocin is the recommended agent for AMTSL, while carboprost is effective for treatment of PPH. Clinical evidence shows carboprost provides powerful uterine contraction with fewer side effects compared to other uterotonics like methylergometrine. Proper identification of risk factors and preparedness are important for reducing the burden of PPH.
Shoulder dystocia occurs when the baby's shoulders become stuck after delivery of the head. It has a low incidence rate of 0.2-1% and risk factors include fetal macrosomia, obesity, diabetes and others. Diagnosis is made when normal maneuvers by the midwife fail to deliver the baby. Management involves calling for help, clearing the baby's airways, and performing maneuvers like McRoberts and Rubin's to rotate the shoulders and decrease their diameter in order to allow delivery. More invasive maneuvers like cleidotomy may be needed if these fail to deliver the anterior shoulder.
This document provides information on female sterilization as a method of contraception. It discusses the surgical procedure of cutting or blocking the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy permanently. Some key points covered include that sterilization is a very effective method with a low failure rate but is also a surgical procedure that carries risks of pain, infection and other complications. The document outlines when sterilization can be performed and considerations around a client's health and ability to provide informed consent. Steps of the procedure and post-operative care are described.
Normal labour is defined as spontaneous onset at term, with a single vertex fetus and no complications. Labour progresses through three stages: cervical dilation, birth of fetus, and delivery of placenta. Cervical dilation occurs in latent and active phases, with the active phase involving accelerated, maximum, and decelerated dilation. Uterine contractions and retraction of the upper uterine segment apply force to dilate the cervix around the presenting fetal part. Moulding of the fetal skull allows adaptation to the pelvis during birth.
The document discusses Caesarean section, including indications, types, procedure, complications, and mode of delivery in subsequent pregnancies. A Caesarean section is a surgical procedure to deliver one or more babies through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. The rate of Caesarean sections has increased from 5% in 1970 to 25% in 1990 due to factors such as abandoning difficult procedures in favor of C-sections and increased use for breech births. Complications can include hemorrhage, infections, and injuries to the mother or baby.
The document discusses active management of the third stage of labor to minimize complications. It outlines the key components of active management, which include the use of oxytocics like oxytocin, controlled cord traction to deliver the placenta, uterine massage after delivery, and examination of the birth canal and placenta. The benefits of active management are highlighted as enhancing placental separation, safe placental delivery, and minimizing bleeding to reduce risks like postpartum hemorrhage.
This case report describes a 20-year-old woman who experienced a third degree perineal tear and cervical tear during her vaginal delivery. She underwent repair of the tears which involved suturing the anal mucosa, external and internal sphincters, and left side of the cervix. Her post-operative recovery included antibiotics, sitz baths, and pelvic floor exercises. Perineal tears can occur due to obstetric factors like prolonged labor or operative delivery, and non-obstetric injuries. They are classified based on the extent of tissue involvement and proper identification and repair is important for recovery.
This document discusses emergency contraception (EC), including its history, methods, mechanisms of action, indications, and recommendations. EC aims to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse by disrupting ovulation or fertilization. The two main methods are hormonal EC using combined or progestin-only pills, and mechanical EC using a copper IUD. Hormonal EC is most effective when used as soon as possible within 5 days of intercourse. The document recommends making EC widely available without a prescription to help prevent unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions.
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. If not treated promptly through medication or surgery, it can cause the tube to rupture and result in life-threatening bleeding. Diagnosis is usually based on symptoms of abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy, along with transvaginal ultrasound and beta-hCG blood tests. While ectopic pregnancies were once fatal, modern medical techniques have reduced the mortality rate by 90% through early detection and treatment to remove or destroy the growing pregnancy.
1. Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus and sometimes other reproductive organs. It can be performed abdominally through an incision in the abdomen, vaginally through the vagina, or laparoscopically through small incisions using specialized instruments.
2. Over 600,000 hysterectomies are performed annually in the US, most commonly to treat benign conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or uterine prolapse. The preferred method is vaginal hysterectomy when possible due to faster recovery.
3. Risks of hysterectomy include earlier menopause, increased risks of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis, as well as potential short-term risks like infection,

What is Mifeprex and why is this pill prescribed?IrinaWeindorf
Mifeprex is a brand version of Mifepristone. It is also recognized as Generic RU486. It is a synthetic steroid and is mostly instructed for termination of early phase pregnancy i.e within 63 days of gestation. This medicine is essentially taken in combination with Misoprostol.
Abortion can be spontaneous (miscarriage) or induced (therapeutic) and occurs before 20 weeks of pregnancy. The most common causes of miscarriage are fetal abnormalities, placental issues, and maternal health factors. Therapeutic abortions in the first trimester include medical abortions using drugs like mifepristone and misoprostol or surgical abortions using vacuum aspiration. Risks increase in the second trimester where induced labor or other procedures are used. Complications, while rare, can include infection, bleeding and injury.

What is Cytolog and why is this pill prescribed?IrinaWeindorf
Cytolog is one of the medications involved in the process of medical pregnancy termination. Healthcare providers prescribe this pill along with one more drug, i.e. Mifepristone/Mifeprex/Generic RU 486. Depending on your pregnancy case and health condition, the medicine is prescribed by the doctor.
Oral contraceptives contain hormones that prevent pregnancy through blocking ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and changing the uterine lining. They are available as pills, implants, patches, or IUDs. Combination pills containing estrogen and progesterone are most effective except for sterilization. They come in monophasic, biphasic, and triphasic forms. Progesterone-only pills are an option for those who cannot take estrogen. Injectables, patches, rings, and IUDs provide alternatives. Side effects can include nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, and potential serious issues like blood clots. Risks increase with age, smoking, and some health conditions or other drug interactions.

The female reproductive system is a very complex system. And as with any system, occasionally, things go wrong. When treatments and therapies can't fix an issue, sometimes surgery is required. Surgery to remove a woman's uterus or womb, a major component of this system, is called hysterectomy
An abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy. It's also sometimes known as a termination of pregnancy. The pregnancy is ended either by taking medicines or having a surgical procedure. The decision to have an abortion is yours alone.
Some women may be certain they want to have an abortion, while others may find it more difficult to make a decision.
All women requesting an abortion can discuss their options with, and receive support from their care provider, if they wish.
Vaccines help prepare the body to fight foreign invaders (pathogens such as bacteria or viruses), to prevent infection. All vaccines introduce into the body a harmless piece of a particular bacteria or virus, triggering an immune response. Most vaccines contain a weakened or killed bacteria or virus. However, scientists have developed a new type of vaccine that uses a molecule called messenger RNA (or mRNA for short) rather than part of an actual bacteria or virus. Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that is necessary for protein production. In cells, mRNA uses the information in genes to create a blueprint for making proteins. Once cells finish making a protein, they quickly break down the mRNA. mRNA from vaccines does not enter the nucleus and does not alter DNA.
Pregnancy is a period that places great physiological stress on both the mother and the fetus. When pregnancy is compounded by endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism, the potential for maternal and fetal adverse outcomes can be immense. While a lot of attention has been focused on the adverse fetal outcomes consequent to hypothyroidism, attention is also being gradually directed towards the adverse maternal outcomes of this disorder. Role of antibody positivity in influencing outcomes in a euthyroid woman, also needs further clarification. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism in pregnancy is very essential. Subclinical hypothyroidism also needs to be detected and treated to prevent adverse outcomes, especially maternal. Since women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy, especially of the autoimmune variety might have a flare up of the disorder post-partum, or might continue to require thyroxine replacement post-partum, adequate follow-up is mandatory. While targeted case finding is generally practised, recent evidence seems to indicate that universal screening might be a better option. In conclusion, routine screening, early confirmation of diagnosis and prompt treatment. Allied with regular post-partum follow up, is required to ensure favourable maternal and fetal outcomes.
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder affecting red blood cells. Normal red blood cells contain hemoglobin A. People with sickle cell disease have red blood cells containing mostly hemoglobin S, an abnormal type of hemoglobin. These red blood cells become sickle-shaped (crescent-shaped), and have difficulty passing through small blood vessels. There are several different types of sickle cell disease; the most common types are homozygous sickle cell disease (SS disease), and sickle-cell beta thalassemia (Sß+ or Sß0 disease).
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) forms a group of disorders spanning the conditions of complete andpartial molar pregnancies through to the malignant conditions of invasive mole, choriocarcinoma and the veryrare placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT). There are reports of neoplastic transformation of atypicalplacental site nodules to placental site trophoblastic tumour.If there is any evidence of persistence of GTD, most commonly defined as a persistent elevation of beta humanchorionic gonadotrophin (βhCG), the condition is referred to as gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN).
This section introduces menstrual health and hygiene as a global opportunity to advance gender equality and human rights. Menstruation affects 1.8 billion girls, women and transgender persons globally each month, yet many lack dignified and healthy ways to manage their periods due to gender inequality, poverty and lack of basic services. This negatively impacts lives and restricts opportunities. Investing in menstrual health and hygiene yields benefits for individuals, future generations and society. UNICEF is committed to supporting countries to address menstrual health and hygiene through development and humanitarian programming.

Labour and childbirth are the most challenging and painful phases of pregnancy. Most mothers-to-be dread facing it and hope it gets over quickly. When labour starts, there is usually a gap between each stage of labour, but when it comes to women going through precipitate labour, everything happens very quickly. Though in some cases it comes as a blessed relief, in others it can be a bit more complicated than that.
There is general inconsistency in the nomenclature used to describe abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) classification system for AUB, which has been approved by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Executive Board as a FIGO PALM-COEIN classification system.
Placenta previa is a condition that may happen during the second or third trimester of pregnancy. It's one of the most common causes of vaginal bleeding during these trimesters. It happens when the placenta implants in the lower part of the uterus. This causes the placenta to block part or all of the opening of the cervix to the vagina (birth canal). It can lead to problems for both the mother and baby. This can include blood loss and premature labor. EVERY PREGNANT WOMEN MUST KNOW ABOUT IT.
Molar pregnancy is one of a group of uncommonly occurring conditions called gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) that occurs when a pregnancy does not develop properly. There are two types of gestational trophoblastic disease:
Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy commonly occurs between 5 and 18 weeks of pregnancy. Between 50 and 90 percent of women with normal pregnancies have some degree of nausea, with or without vomiting. The severity of these symptoms can vary and can last for various periods of time.
"Morning sickness" is the term often used to describe mild nausea and vomiting that occur due to pregnancy (and not due to other illness), even though symptoms may occur at any time of day. "Hyperemesis gravidarum" is the term used to describe a more severe condition. Hyperemesis may cause you to vomit multiple times throughout the day, lose weight, be unable to consume food and liquids, and typically requires evaluation in the hospital and treatment with medication(s).

A miscarriage, or spontaneous abortion, is an event that results in the loss of a fetus before 20 weeks of pregnancy. It typically happens during the first trimester, or first three months, of the pregnancy.
Every woman should be thinking about her health whether or not she is planning pregnancy. One reason is that about half of all pregnancies are not planned. Unplanned pregnancies are at greater risk of preterm birth and low birth weight babies. Another reason is that, despite important advances in medicine and prenatal care, about 1 in 8 babies is born too early. Researchers are trying to find out why and how to prevent preterm birth. But experts agree that women need to be healthier before becoming pregnant. By taking action on health issues and risks before pregnancy, you can prevent problems that might affect you or your baby later.

1. Information on Early Medical Abortion
You have decided to terminate your pregnancy medically. The medical method is carried out in 3
steps and consists of taking 2 drugs:
• Mifepristone interrupts the pregnancy by blocking the hormone needed to maintain the
pregnancy (progesterone).
• Prostaglandin (Misoprostol) induces contractions and expulsion of the pregnancy.
Mifepristone and misoprostol work together to induce a miscarriage.
THE PROCESS ( Before providing such service, we need to confirm that it is an intrauterine
pregnancy of within 9 weeks duration)
In most cases, one can perform your usual activities.
• If you vomit within 1,5 hours following drug intake, contact us in order to determine whether
another drug dose is necessary.
rare occasions, there is heavy bleeding with blood clots and cramping.
• It is possible to expel the pregnancy at this stage (happens in 3% of the cases). Bleeding does not
indicate that the pregnancy has been terminated, regardless of how heavy it may be. So, it is
essential to take the prostaglandin 36 to 48 hours later as per the schedule.
Step II) Prostaglandin to be used on …………………………………………………………at bedtime.
What can happen after prostaglandin intake?
o After prostaglandin intake, you should do everything you like to do. If you have the
procedure at home, it is preferable to remain comfortable and to have somebody with
you.
o The prostaglandin induces uterine contractions and pain similar to or stronger than
menstrual pain. Do not hesitate to take the pain killers that were prescribed to you.
o You may experience nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
o Expulsion of the pregnancy is usually associated with bleeding that is often heavier than
menstrual bleeding. The gestational sac is sometimes visible in the form of a 1 to 3 cm
gelatinous white ball. Bleeding can happen quickly after prostaglandin intake, but it may also
happen later, sometimes only the next day: In 60% of cases, expulsion will occur within 4
hours of prostaglandin intake. – In other cases, expulsion will happen within 24 hours to 72
hours of prostaglandin intake. Bleeding lasts about 2 weeks and is generally less abundant
than during your period. If you are still bleeding 3 weeks after prostaglandin intake, you
should contact your physician.
IF AT ANY TIME you are worriedor if the following occurs: fever (lasting longer than 24 hours), pain
that persists despite taking analgesics, significant and persistent blood loss (use of more than 2
sanitary pads per hour for 2 hours) or faintness, please contact your nearby health facility or us.
Step I) Mifepristone tablets taken on ………….………………………………………. at ……….…………….

Step III) Follow up examination on ………………………………………………at ………………………..……… The follow
up examination must take place Day 15 after mifepristone intake. We will verify that the pregnancy

in urine or blood (β-hCG).

you decide to continue, there is higher risk of baby born being malformed.
