Infertility is a main issue in today’s era. Many couples go for IVF, surrogacy and many more with very less benefits. Nearly 10 14 of individuals are belonging to the reproductive age group are affected by infertility. it’s rate is constantly increasing due to change in lifestyle, high pollution, socio economic causes and enormous amount of stress. The problem of infertility has been on a constant rise and affects people of various age group, fertility problems are prevalent in women, which restrict their ability to conceive. The most of the infertility problems, almost 35 are caused by tubal blockage. The tubal blockage causes due to, A. pelvic infections causing 1 Peritubal adhesions 2. Endosalpingeal damage, B. previous tubal surgery or sterilization, C. salpingitis isthemicamodosa, D. Tubal endometriosis and others, E. Polyps or mucous debris within the tubal lumen or tubal spasm. Laparoscopic chrompertubation had limited results in correcting blocks but most of cases refer for Artificial reproductive techniques. Uttarbasti is a special procedure found to act very nicely on tubal blockage if performed cautiously in a sterile environment. Arbudaharalepa told in Sahasrayogam was selected and formulated into Taila to observe the results on Tubal factors of Infertility. In present study, kaphavata hara, Lekhana, Chedana and Bhedana properties of drugs acted to clear the tubal block.

Week Two Assignment Two: Tympanic Membrane and Thyroid Gland
Conducting a thorough examination of the tympanic membrane and thyroid gland can identify the cause of presenting symptoms. When a patient reports ear pain, blockage, loss of hearing, and/or ear ringing the nurse will need to perform a thorough assessment to identify the cause. Tympanic ear perforation is one issue that may be identified. Additionally, when a patient reports recent weight loss, weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, irritability, and sensitivity to heat or cold, the nurse may suspect thyroid problems and will examine the thyroid. Dysfunction of the thyroid can lead to many problems, hypothyroidism is one such issue, caused by the thyroid not producing the thyroid hormone (Jarvis, 2016). An overview of the tympanic membrane and thyroid gland will be discussed to further detail the associated assessments.
Health History One
A 19-year-old Hispanic male presents to the primary care office with a constant earache lasting three days. He describes the dulling pain as deep in his left ear. He rates the pain as a 10 out of 10. He has a temperature of 101.1. It is suspected the patient may have an ear infection. The patient reports a history of ear infections. Patient denies hearing loss, discharge, ringing or buzzing, and/or ear injury.
Findings for Tympanic Membrane
Examination of the ear are mainly performed using inspection and palpation (Jarvis, 2016). The client was seated on the exam table, with the examiner’s head at the same level as the client’s. The examiner begins by inspecting both auricles for abnormalities. No abnormalities were noted, but the left ear is red in color. The auricles and mastoid areas were palpated to check for swelling, tenderness, or nodules. The left ear was tender to touch. When using an otoscope, the provider is examining the external auditory canal and tympanic membrane. When inspecting the pinna, it is important to look for lesions (Kalyanakrishnan, Sparks, & Berryhill, 2007). Inspecting the canal, the examiner is looking f ...
Treatment of Uthiravatha Suronitham (Rheumatoid Arthritis) with a Siddha Comp...iosrphr_editor
Uthiravathasuronitham, a vatha disease described by Sage Yugi can be correlated to Rheumatoid arthritis. A 53 year old lady diagnosed as Uthiravathasuronitham was treated with Siddha medicines Karpoora Chindhamani Mathirai and MannennaiKalavaiThylam. A single case study of Uthiravathasuronitham is detailed in this article.The patient presented with pain and swelling in minor joints of hand, wrist, ankle, shoulder joints and morning stiffness. The RA factor, CRP was positive at the time of enrollment. She was admitted in the IPD of Sirappu Maruthuvam Department of National Institute of Siddha for 45 days. The treatment outcome was encouraging. Hence further clinical studies can be carried out.
This clinical case presentation discusses a 37-year-old pregnant woman with antepartum haemorrhage (APH) due to central placenta previa. Her medical history and examination findings are presented. Investigations confirm central placenta previa and placenta accrete is found during her lower uterine segment caesarean section (LUCS). She receives postoperative management and care. The discussion covers definitions of APH and its causes, differences between placenta previa and abruptio placenta, risk factors, complications, prevention of APH, and use of condom catheters for haemorrhage control in Bangladesh.
This document discusses a review of the clinical efficacy of Ayurvedic treatment for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, causing irregular periods, excess hair growth, and fertility issues. The review studied 40 patients treated with Ayurvedic herbs and therapies over 6 months. Treatment involved purification, hormone regulation, and reducing symptoms in stages. Results showed reduced weight, normal menstrual cycles and hormone levels, fewer skin issues, and 85% of subfertility cases cured for PCOS patients. The review concludes Ayurvedic treatment can cure subfertility caused by PCOS.
OVARIAN REJUVENATION - ROLE OF PLATELET RICH PLASMA THERAPY BY DR SHASHWAT JANIDR SHASHWAT JANI
The document discusses ovarian rejuvenation using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. PRP is extracted from a patient's own blood and contains growth factors that may reawaken dormant follicles in the ovaries. The procedure involves extracting blood, centrifuging it to separate PRP from other blood components, and injecting the PRP into the ovaries under ultrasound guidance, usually once a month for three months. The goal is to stimulate egg maturation and development, helping patients conceive. Side effects are minimal and may include pain, fever, or internal bleeding. Follow-up monitors hormone levels to check for signs of improved ovarian function.

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.

Also, since the patient had been advised hystetectomy,
but being unwilling to undetgo surgery, had ptefetted

4. Shivanandaiah and lndudhar: Lajjalu treatment of uterine prolapse
genetal pubJic. Many patients come ftom diffetent parts
of the country, among them, cases of 2"d and 3'd degtee
ptolapse as diagnosed by Gynecologists. Many such utetine
ptolapse cases have come to me with scan reports and othet
details. This atticle reports a very recent case.
Fot the entitety of my 50 yeats medical ptactice, I have
onlyused Ay;tvedic dtugs to treat, usually fotmulated and
ptesented in capsule fotm fot incteased convenience over
chwrna fotm. Fot extetnal appJication on affected parts, I
glve Swarau exttact, which patients take fot lengthy petiods,
dosage depending on the degtee of ptolapse.
In addition to utetine ptolapse (Gar"bha Bhrawsha),Lajjaluis
used fot ptolapsed tectum (Gwda Bhrawsha), vaginal-utetine
disotdets (Yoni Vlapar), dysfunctional utetine bleeding
(Raktaynl, ptles (Arsha),anal fistula (Bh agandar"),extetnal &
intetnal bleeding & non-bleeding dysmenotthoea (Rqoh),
leucotthoea (Suet Pradar"a), & utinaty infections.
0vERAtt c0Nctusl0N
Miwosa Pwdica was found to be vety useful in this case
of utetine ptolapse with bleeding, consistent with my
expetience of wotking with the condition fot mote than
45 yeats, and tteating hundteds of such cases of thitd
degtee utetine ptolapse. Hystetectomy was avoided up to
this date, and is not now expected to be tecommended.
Editotial Comment: As a fitst single case study by the
authots, this was accepted because of its wide potential
intetest and implications. Today's high ptevalence of
Utetine Ptolapse, and the nature of biomedical treatments,
mean that the possibility of wide scale adoption of Lajjalu
treatment fot that and telated ptoblems metits futthet
evaluation.
