1. Psychogenic infertility refers to infertility thought to be caused by psychological or emotional factors, though modern research shows little evidence that personality or mental stress directly cause infertility.
2. Historically, infertility was often attributed to psychological issues, but views have changed with advances in medicine showing that stress likely impacts the hormonal systems involved in fertility rather than being a direct cause.
3. The relationship between stress and infertility is still not fully understood, but stress related to infertility can impact couples and treatment, so psychological support is recommended regardless of medical factors.

This document discusses several health issues that disproportionately affect women globally. It notes that while women live longer on average, factors like unequal access to healthcare and discrimination lead to lower quality of life and increased health risks. Violence against women is common in many parts of the world and increases risks of injury, disease, and mental health issues. Early marriage before age 18 also affects many girls in developing countries and increases risks during pregnancy and childbirth. Maternal mortality during or after childbirth remains high in developing nations. The document encourages raising awareness of these issues and supporting efforts against violence towards women internationally.
This document discusses common false beliefs about sexuality among older adults and the impact of ageism on their sexual and reproductive health and rights. It outlines four key false beliefs: 1) older people can't have sex, 2) they don't want to have sex, 3) they shouldn't have sex, and 4) they don't have sex. It argues that ability and desire to be sexually active depends more on health issues than age alone. Ageism creates societal norms that ignore older adults' sexuality and excludes them from sexual health programs, research, and international development goals. Combating ageist views is essential to promoting sexual health and rights for all ages.

This document discusses key health issues faced by women globally. It outlines biological and social determinants of women's health, including conditions like iron deficiency anemia and complications of pregnancy. Socially, it notes how factors like gender inequality, low education, and poverty can negatively impact access to healthcare. Maternal mortality, racial disparities in pregnancy outcomes in the US, sex-selective abortion, unsafe abortion, obstetric fistula, and violence against women are some major health problems also summarized.
Gender issues can impact health in several ways. Biologically, men and women have differences in chromosomes, hormones, physiology and risk factors for certain diseases. Socially, gender roles and inequalities influence access to resources and health outcomes. For many diseases like heart disease, stroke and tuberculosis, prevalence and mortality rates differ between men and women. Gender also affects exposure and vulnerability to conditions like malaria, HIV and road traffic accidents. Addressing gender in health policies, programs and research is crucial to promote equality and improve health for all.
1) Gender issues in health include biological, physical and social differences between males and females that can impact health outcomes.
2) Key statistics provided on population and vital statistics for India show males outnumber females and females have lower sex ratios and higher mortality rates.
3) Many health conditions like heart disease, stroke, malaria and tuberculosis disproportionately impact males and females due to differences in risk factors, social roles and access to care.
Gender perspectives of reproductive healthvishal soyam
Gender is a social construct that defines the roles and behaviors of men and women within a society. It influences reproductive health through gender differences, inequalities, and inequities in health status and access to care between men and women. Addressing gender is important for designing reproductive health programs and achieving goals like reducing maternal mortality. India has implemented initiatives like the Reproductive and Child Health Program to promote gender mainstreaming and male participation in reproductive health. The program aims to empower women, provide a holistic health approach, and enhance men's responsibilities to help address issues like maternal mortality, family planning, and gender discrimination.

Social changes due to women empowerment (2)Priyanka Gupta
The document discusses the social changes that have occurred due to women's empowerment over the last century. It outlines that countries with greater gender equality experience better economic growth and more stable peace agreements. While progress has been made in education and labor force participation, challenges still remain in ensuring equal access and opportunities for women globally. The introduction of contraception and medical technologies have revolutionized women's health, but lack of access and cultural barriers still exist in some areas. Overall, efforts over the past 100 years have helped improve women's rights, health outcomes, and role in decision making processes.
This document outlines a framework for measuring women's access to quality, gender-sensitive health services. The framework includes 5 components: 1) Comprehensiveness of information, 2) Comprehensiveness of women's health services, 3) Respect for women's human rights, 4) Technical competence of providers, and 5) Infrastructure and facilities. Each component contains several indicators to assess gender equality and women's human rights in health services, such as availability of women providers, informed consent practices, integration of related services, and infrastructure meeting gender needs. The framework aims to evaluate health services based on women's experiences and promote equitable, rights-based care for women.
This document discusses gender issues in health. It defines key terms like sex, gender, and transgender. It provides India's current population statistics by gender. It then examines differences in physical, emotional, and sexual health between males and females. Various health disparities are explored by gender, such as higher rates of heart disease and stroke in females and road traffic accidents in males. The document also looks at transgender health disparities and policies to promote gender equality in India.
Women face unique health challenges compared to men. Key factors that influence women's health include insufficient attention to sex differences in disease, greater burden from conditions like COPD and HIV/AIDS, and higher risk of visual impairment and difficulties quitting smoking. Women also face greater risks of early marriage, adolescent motherhood, pregnancy complications, and violence. Improving women's health requires addressing gaps in medical training, lack of primary care access, sex-based bias, inadequate clinical guidelines, focus on social determinants, and shortages in women's health specialists. Economic inequities also profoundly impact women's health outcomes.
The document provides an introduction to reproductive health. It defines reproductive health as complete physical, mental and social well-being in all matters related to the reproductive system. The objectives are to define key terms and understand the historical development and relationship between gender and reproductive health. The components of reproductive health are outlined, including maternal and child health. Factors like gender, empowerment, and gender analysis that influence reproductive health are also discussed.
Reproductive Health,the topic is mainly about what is an reproductive health and what is aids what are the symptoms of aids and what are its diagnosis. in this presentation you will have census on the growth of population and the growth of aids in the countries.
The document discusses the various determinants of health, which are factors that influence health outcomes. It identifies biological, environmental, socio-economic, socio-cultural, health care system, individual behavioral, and age and gender-related determinants. Biological determinants include genetics and internal/external environments. Environmental determinants comprise physical, biological, and psychosocial environments as well as domestic living conditions. Socio-economic determinants such as income, education, employment, and housing impact health. A person's culture, customs, and community also shape their health. Access to health services, immunizations, and primary care further determine health status. Individual lifestyle choices concerning nutrition, physical activity, hygiene, and substance use also affect health

Vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children and increases the risk of disease and death from infections. It affects about one-third of children under five globally, with the highest rates in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Each year, vitamin A deficiency claims the lives of around 670,000 children under five worldwide. Coverage of vitamin A supplementation has increased in Nepal, with 86% of children aged 6-59 months receiving capsules, though only 51% of postpartum mothers receive supplementation. Efforts are needed to strengthen vitamin A treatment protocols and ensure availability and consumption of vitamin A rich foods.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, with nearly 1.7 million new cases diagnosed in 2012. It occurs when cancer cells form in the tissues of the breast and can spread to other parts of the body if not properly treated. Some key signs and symptoms include a breast lump, skin changes, nipple discharge or inversion. Risk factors include age, family history, obesity, alcohol use and hormone treatments. Treatment options depend on cancer stage but may involve surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or hormone therapy. Regular self-exams and mammograms are important for early detection and improved outcomes.
Spots and Announcement in Health EducationGovinda Rokka
This document discusses spots and announcements as important audio media for health education. Spots are short sections used for advertising on radio or TV, while announcements contain information about upcoming events. Such media can effectively provide immediate information to targeted populations on topics like emergency preparedness and health issues. Preparing spots and announcements involves considering the target audience and planning message content and appropriate dissemination methods. They have benefits like low cost and quick results but also limitations like being a one-way information flow and not reaching illiterate groups. Overall, these audio media are seen as a vital tool for public awareness campaigns to promote health knowledge and behaviors.
Child rearing practices in Nepal typically follow an authoritarian style, where children are expected to respect elders without question. Parents believe they know what is best for their children and use strict discipline. Children contribute to household labor from a young age, and sons are usually prioritized for education. Cultural practices include carrying babies on mothers' backs, breastfeeding, and seclusion for girls during puberty. Physical and psychological punishment is commonly used to enforce obedience.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
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).

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.

Reproductive Health
Problems
Presentedby

BPH 5th Batch, MMIHS
2. • Reproductive health refers to a state of physical,
mental and social wellbeing and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity in all matters
relating to the reproductive system and to its
functions and processes, and across all stages of
life.
3. The affected groups includes:
i)Women
ii)Young people
iii)People with disability
iv)LGBTI
v)Sex Workers
vi) People from refugee and culturally diverse group
vii)Older People
viii)Prisoners

5. Common Reproductive Health Concerns
for Women
• Endometriosis
• Uterine fibroids
• Gynecologic cancer
• STDs and HIV/AIDS
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and infertility
• Sexual violence including female genital mutilation
• Menopausal syndrome
6. Young People
• It is a critical time for the development of sexual identity and
interpersonal relationships, and the onset of sexual attraction
and related behaviors.
• RH problems are shaped by a range of social determinants and
behavioral risk factors, including homelessness, substance
use, and mental disorder,etc.
• Reproductive health problems includes STIs,HIV &
AIDS,cervical cancer,breast cancer,unsafe abortion,teenage
pregnancy,etc
7. People with disability
• An estimated 10%of the world’s population live with a
disability. These people have the same sexual and
reproductive health needs as other people.(UNFPA,2009)
• Sexual and reproductive needs of persons with disabilities
are often overlooked or neglected.
• People with disabilities are also more likely to be victims
of physical and sexual abuse and rape.
8. LGBTI
• Sexual and reproductive ill health disproportionately affects
gay, lesbian,bisexual,transgender and intersex (GLBTI) people.
Experiences of discrimination can impact negatively on sexual
health and wellbeing, contributing to the underutilization of
health services.
• Common problems experienced by them by STIs,HIV & AIDS,
under utilization of health services,etc.
9. Sex workers
• Sexual and reproductive health needs of sex workers have
been neglected both in research and public health
interventions, which have almost exclusively focused on
STI/HIV prevention.
• Frequent unsafe sex with multiple partners also places female
sex workers at elevated risk of HIV and sexually transmitted
infections (STIs).
• Vulnerable young women—most of whom retire by age 30—
are typically of reproductive age and extremely vulnerable to
unintended pregnancy.
10. People from refugee and culturally and
linguistically diverse backgrounds
• There is significant variation in the sexual and reproductive
health outcomes among people from culturally and
linguistically diverse backgrounds.
• Many experience poor sexual and reproductive health
outcomes due to the underutilization of sexual health
services, lack of knowledge, and social stigma associated with
discussions of sexuality.
• Research has suggested that HIV-related stigma and
discrimination is common among many CALD communities
11. • Immigrant and refugee women are also at a greater risk of
suffering poorer maternal and child health outcomes; are less
likely to have adequate information about modern contraceptive
methods; are at greater risk of contracting STIs; and are less likely
to use primary health services.
• Young women from refugee backgrounds experience elevated
rates of teenage pregnancy relative to other young women.
12. Older people
• Many older adults remain sexually active, yet most
educational campaigns designed to prevent sexually
transmitted diseases target younger generations.
• Women may experience gynecological problems throughout
their reproductive years and beyond, and are at risk from
symptoms associated with hormonal changes, heart disease
and stroke, gynecological malignancies, osteoporosis, and
various genitourinary conditions.
• Post-menopausal changes to the lining of the vagina may
also increase susceptibility to STIs.
• Most reproductive and sexual health disorders are more
common as men age, and many of these conditions are linked
with chronic health conditions.
13. Prisoners
• Prisoners are a high-risk group in terms of their sexual health,
exposure to STIs, and engagement in risky sexual behaviors.
• Intersex, trans and gender diverse prisoners are frequent and
visible targets for discrimination, violence, and sexual assault.
Endometriosis is a problem affecting a woman's uterus—the place where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant. Endometriosis is when the kind of tissue that normally lines the uterus grows somewhere else. It can grow on the ovaries, behind the uterus, on the bowels, or on the bladder. Rarely, it grows in other parts of the body.
Uterine fibroids are the most common noncancerous tumors in women of childbearing age
PCOS is a leading cause of infertility in women (for a detailed discussion, see our Polycystic Ovary Syndrome overview). Although not all women with PCOS have all these features, common signs and symptoms include
irregular menstrual cycles excess hair growth on the face and body
infertility (due primarily to lack of ovulation)
overweight or obesity (especially at the waist)
