Molar pregnancy
Molar pregnancy is a premalignant condition that occurs after abnormal fertilization and is characterized by swollen chorionic villi. There are two types: complete and partial hydatidiform moles. Complete moles have no fetal tissue and are diploid, while partial moles may contain nonviable fetal tissue and are usually triploid. Symptoms include vaginal bleeding, uterine enlargement, and hyperemesis gravidarum. Complications can include hemorrhage, sepsis, invasive mole, and choriocarcinoma. Diagnosis is made through hCG levels, ultrasound showing cystic spaces without fetal parts, and pathology. Treatment is suction curettage, with follow up hCG monitoring to
Cervical incompetence
Cervical incompetence, also called cervical insufficiency, is a condition where the cervix begins to dilate and efface before pregnancy has reached term, often resulting in miscarriage. Risk factors include a history of preterm birth, multiple abortions, cervical procedures, or congenital uterine abnormalities. Diagnosis involves a history of second trimester losses and physical exam findings of cervical shortening or dilatation. Treatment options during pregnancy include bed rest, progesterone supplementation, cerclage procedures to reinforce the cervix, and sometimes pessary devices. The goal is to prevent premature dilation and maintain the pregnancy until full term.
Septic Abortion
This document discusses septic abortion, which occurs when an abortion is complicated by infection in the uterus or its contents. It defines septic abortion and outlines its causes, clinical presentation, investigations, management, and complications. Septic abortion is most commonly associated with illegal or unsafe induced abortions where proper aseptic techniques are not followed. Management involves controlling the infection with antibiotics, removing the source of infection, and providing supportive care. Treatment is based on clinical grading of the infection from Grade I (localized) to Grade III (generalized peritonitis or septic shock), with more aggressive management needed for higher grades.
Cervical incompetence
This document discusses cervical incompetence, also known as cervical insufficiency. It defines cervical incompetence as the inability of the uterine cervix to retain a pregnancy in the absence of contractions or labor during the second trimester. The document outlines the causes, diagnosis, and management of cervical incompetence, with a focus on cervical cerclage procedures like the McDonald and Shirodkar techniques. Cervical cerclage involves surgically placing a suture around the cervix to reinforce it and prevent painless dilation during pregnancy.
Forceps delivery and vacuum extraction
Forceps delivery is an operative vaginal delivery procedure that uses obstetric forceps to assist in the extraction of the fetal head. Forceps have curved blades that fit around the fetal head to allow the operator to apply gentle traction. Forceps delivery is indicated when there are signs of fetal distress, prolonged second stage of labor, or maternal medical complications. Risks include laceration, hemorrhage, and injuries to the mother or baby. Proper technique and only performing the procedure when fully trained can help minimize risks.
Vesico vaginal fistula
This document discusses vesicovaginal fistula (VVF), including:
1. VVF is an abnormal opening between the bladder and vagina, causing continuous urinary incontinence.
2. VVF has various classifications based on location, size, and complexity.
3. Treatment involves conservative management or surgical repair, with the surgical approach depending on the fistula characteristics.
Ectopic pregnancy
1) An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. Risk factors include prior pelvic infection, surgery on the fallopian tubes, prior ectopic pregnancy, IUD use, DES exposure, and assisted reproduction.
2) In a tubal pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants and develops in the fallopian tube. This is not viable and can lead to tubal rupture due to the thin tube wall.
3) Without treatment, outcomes of tubal ectopic pregnancy include tubal mole, abortion, or rupture.

Fetal distress
This document discusses fetal distress, also known as nonreassuring fetal status. It can be defined as hypoxia that may result in permanent brain damage or death for the fetus if the cause is not addressed immediately. Some potential causes of fetal distress include maternal hypoxia, placental issues, obstetric complications, and prolonged compression of the fetal head. Effects on the fetus can include growth issues, decreased movement, low amniotic fluid, stillbirth, and effects on the infant like brain injury and meconium aspiration. Assessment methods discussed include monitoring fetal movement, ultrasounds, amniocentesis, biophysical profile testing, and electronic fetal monitoring during labor.
Cord prolapse

Cervical ripening is the preparation of the cervix for labour and delivery. The Bishop score is the commonest used methodology to assess it. For more like this visit my page on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@mudiagaakpoghene2243
Premature rupture of membranes (prom)
Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) refers to rupture of membranes before the onset of labor. It occurs in 10% of term pregnancies and more commonly in preterm labor. PROM can be diagnosed through various tests including a nitrazine paper test, fern test, sterile speculum exam, or ultrasound. Complications of PROM include preterm labor, infection, and fetal deformities or distress. Management depends on gestational age - expectant management is common above 34 weeks while induction or C-section may be recommended below 36 weeks to prevent complications.
Hysteroscopy
This document provides information about hysteroscopy, including:
- A hysteroscope is an endoscope used to visualize the uterine cavity and perform procedures.
- It describes the historical development of hysteroscopy from the 19th century to modern techniques.
- The types of hysteroscopes and instrumentation used are outlined, including distention media, electrodes, sheaths, and cameras.
- The document discusses the procedures, indications, contraindications and complications of diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy.
Antepartum hemorrhage
APH affects 3-5% of pregnancies and is a leading cause of preterm birth. Clinical assessment of APH involves history, examination, and ultrasound to determine the cause and severity of bleeding and risk to the mother and fetus. Management priorities are resuscitation of the mother, monitoring the fetus, restricting activity and delivery depending on gestational age and severity of the condition.
Post Menopausal Bleeding
This document discusses menopause and postmenopausal bleeding. It defines menopause as the permanent cessation of menstruation from loss of ovarian activity, which can only be determined after 12 months of amenorrhea. Postmenopausal bleeding occurs in 4-11% of menopausal women and requires evaluation. Causes include atrophic changes, polyps, hormonal therapy, and malignancy such as endometrial cancer. Evaluation involves history, exam, ultrasound, and endometrial biopsy to diagnose and treat any identified issues.
Malposition
This document provides information about occipito-posterior (OP) position during labor and delivery. It defines OP as the vertex position where the occiput is placed posteriorly. It discusses causes of OP position, abdominal and vaginal examination findings, the mechanism of labor including internal rotation and arrest issues. It also outlines diagnosis, management including care of the mother, complications, and references several textbooks on obstetrics.
Inversion of the uterus
Uterine inversion is a rare complication where the uterus turns inside out, and can be partial or complete. It occurs in around 1 in 20,000 deliveries and is usually acute and complete. There are three degrees - first involves dimpling of the fundus, second passes through the cervix into the vagina, and third is complete outside the vulva. Treatment involves urgent manual replacement or hydrostatic replacement under anesthesia to prevent shock, hemorrhage, infection and other complications. Proper management of the third stage of labor can prevent induced inversions.
Shoulder dystocia
Shoulder dystocia is when the fetal shoulders become lodged at the maternal pelvis after delivery of the head, occurring in 0.2-2% of births. Risk factors include maternal diabetes, obesity, macrosomia, and prior shoulder dystocia. Management involves calling for help, applying suprapubic pressure and the McRoberts maneuver to widen the pelvis, and rotating the shoulders using maneuvers like Woods screw or Rubin. If unsuccessful, procedures include delivering the posterior arm or rarely symphysiotomy. Fetal risks are brachial plexus injury, fractures, and hypoxic brain injury. Maternal risks include perineal tears and postpartum hemorrhage. Prevention focuses
Precipitate labour
Precipitate labor is defined as labor with a combined duration of the first and second stages of less than two hours. It is more common in multiparous women and occurs due to hyperactive uterine contractions and diminished soft tissue resistance, allowing a dilation rate of 5 cm per hour or more. Risks for both mother and baby include lacerations, postpartum hemorrhage, uterine inversion or rupture, intracranial hemorrhage in the baby from rapid delivery without time for molding. Treatment involves hospitalizing women with a history of precipitate labor prior to delivery, suppressing contractions during labor, controlling delivery of the head, liberal episiotomy use, and inducing labor through membrane rupture and controlled delivery
Obstructed Labour ppt
This document provides information on obstructed labor, including its causes, clinical features, and management. It discusses how obstructed labor can be caused by disproportion between the fetal size and the birth canal size due to factors like contracted pelvis, large fetus, or fetal anomalies. In obstructed labor, strong uterine contractions are not effective in advancing labor due to the obstruction. This puts both mother and fetus at risk of complications like sepsis if not properly managed. Clinical features in the mother include exhaustion, pain, changes in vital signs, and specific findings on abdominal and vaginal exams. Risks to the fetus include asphyxia, bleeding in the brain, and pneumonia. The document outlines initial management steps and ultimately indicates that caesare

Cord Prolapse
Cord prolapse is a frightening and life-threatening event that occurs in labor. Rapid identification and immediate appropriate response may well save the life of a neonate. Therefore, clinicians should be knowledgeable in its recognition and management.
Torch infection in pregnancy
The TORCH complex refers to a group of perinatal infections - Toxoplasmosis, Other (syphilis, varicella, parvo virus), Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes simplex virus type 2. These infections can cross the placenta and infect the fetus, potentially causing severe anomalies or death. Toxoplasmosis is caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii which can infect fetuses during acute maternal infection via the placenta. Rubella virus infection during pregnancy increases risks of fetal anomalies, especially in the first trimester. Cytomegalovirus is a herpes virus that commonly infects fetuses, with 30
Recurrent vulvovaginal Candidiasis
There are around 150 Candida species but C. albicans causes 80-90% of infections. C. glabrata is the second most common cause, accounting for 5-15% of cases. Infections can be uncomplicated, involving mild symptoms, or complicated, with recurrent or severe infections often associated with underlying conditions like diabetes. Treatment depends on the severity but usually involves topical or oral antifungals for uncomplicated cases and longer courses or maintenance therapy for complicated cases. Non-albicans species often require different treatments.
Vaginal discharge

Infection in pregnancy
This document summarizes various viral and protozoal infections that can occur during pregnancy including rubella, measles, influenza, chickenpox, cytomegalovirus, parvovirus, mumps, herpes simplex virus, and HIV. For each infection, the document discusses the causative virus, clinical features, effects on pregnancy, methods of diagnosis, and management approaches. Complications of congenital infections are also outlined. The management of HIV positive pregnancies including antiretroviral therapy and approaches to reduce mother-to-child transmission are described in detail.
Recurrent abortion ppt
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.
Molar pregnancy
This document discusses molar pregnancy, also known as hydatidiform mole. It begins by classifying gestational trophoblastic disease as either benign, premalignant, or malignant. It then discusses the characteristics of complete and partial moles. Complete moles have no fetal tissue and are caused by fertilization of an empty ovum, while partial moles contain some fetal tissue and are usually triploid. Symptoms of a complete mole include vaginal bleeding, hyperemesis gravidarum, and a uterus larger than dates. Diagnosis involves ultrasound showing a "snowstorm" pattern, elevated hCG levels, and pathological examination of tissue. Complications can include theca-lutein cysts, pre
