Understanding the Impact of Cervical Intraepithelial Carcinoma: Insights

JiangRuoan

– The main cause of Cervical Intraepithelial Carcinoma (CIN) is an infection called the human papilloma virus (HPV).
– There are over 100 types of HPV, some of which can affect the cervix.
– Types of HPV that cause abnormal cell changes in the cervix are called high-risk HPV.
– The body’s immune system usually gets rid of the HPV infection naturally and there are often no symptoms.
– In some cases, the immune system does not clear the infection and the virus can stay in the body for a longer time.
– If the cervix is affected by HPV for a prolonged period, it can cause damage that may eventually develop into CIN.
– HPV is very common and most people are infected with it at some point, regardless of sexual orientation or relationship status.
– HPV can still affect individuals who have not been sexually active for years.
– The virus can live on the skin around the whole genital area and can easily be transmitted through any type of sexual contact, including skin-to-skin genital contact or sharing sex toys.
– Using a condom or other barrier contraception may reduce the risk of HPV infection, but it does not provide complete protection.

Simple Flat Pelvis Alignment Techniques for Improved Posture

JiangRuoan

– A contracted pelvis is established when the pelvic inlet at the interaxial dimension is less than 10 cm, with less than 8 cm being considered a contracted pelvis
– The shape, type, and diameter of the female pelvis determine the course and outcome of labor
– The pelvis is made up of the sacrum, coccyx, and two os coxae (each os coxae is made up of the ischium, ilium, and pubis)
– The pelvis is divided into the true pelvis and false pelvis by the pelvic inlet
– The pelvic inlet is the doorway to the birth canal and involves three of the four units of the bone pelvis
– The shape of the pelvic inlet depends on the general shape of the pelvis, which can be classified into 4 basic types: gynaecoid (most suitable for vaginal birth), android, anthropoid, and platypelloid
– The diameters of the pelvic inlet are defined as anteroposterior (conjugate), obstetric conjugate, and diagonal conjugate
– Possible causes of contracted pelvis include developmental metabolic factors (rickets, osteomalacia), traumatic factors (fractures), neoplastic factors (osteoma), and lumbar kyphosis
– Contraction of the pelvis can be caused by various conditions such as scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, dislocation of the femurs, and atrophy of the lower limbs.
– Diagnosis of contracted pelvis can be done through abdominal examination, pelvimetry (assessment of pelvic diameters and capacity), and imaging pelvimetry (X-ray, CT, MRI).
– There are different degrees of contracted pelvis: minor, moderate, severe, and extreme, based on the measurement of the true conjugate.
– Complications of contracted pelvis can occur for both the mother and the fetus, including pendulous abdomen, pyelonephritis, slow cervical dilation, obstructed labor, birth asphyxia, nerve injuries, and postpartum hemorrhage.
– Management of contracted pelvis during labor depends on the degree of contraction. Vaginal delivery is recommended for minor degree, trial of labor or caesarean section for moderate degree, and caesarean section for severe or extreme degree.
– Physiotherapy interventions can be beneficial for contracted pelvis, particularly in minor and moderate cases.

Contraceptive Methods: Empowering Women with Safe and Effective Protection

JiangRuoan

List:

1. The article discusses two intrauterine devices (IUDs) used as contraceptive methods: the Levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG IUD) and the Copper T intrauterine device.
2. The LNG IUD is a small T-shaped device inserted into the uterus by a doctor.
3. It releases a small amount of progestin daily to prevent pregnancy.
4. The device can stay in the uterus for 3 to 8 years, depending on the specific device.
5. The typical use failure rate of the LNG IUD is between 0.1% and 0.4%.
6. The Copper T IUD is also shaped like a “T” and is placed inside the uterus by a doctor to prevent pregnancy.
7. It can be left in the uterus for up to 10 years.
8. The typical use failure rate of the Copper T IUD is 0.8%.
9. Family planning allows people to achieve their desired number of children and space out their pregnancies.
10. It involves the use of contraceptive methods and infertility treatment.
11. Access to contraceptive information and services is essential for the health and human rights of individuals.
12. Preventing unintended pregnancies helps lower maternal ill-health and pregnancy-related deaths.
13. Family planning benefits young girls by delaying pregnancies and reducing health risks associated with early childbearing.
14. It also benefits older women by preventing pregnancies and reducing their increased health risks.
15. Contraception helps reduce the need for unsafe abortions and HIV transmission from mothers to newborns.
16. It can improve education for girls and create more opportunities for women in society.
17. In developing regions, an estimated 214 million women of reproductive age have an unmet need for contraception.

Fetal Breath Movement: Understanding Its Significance During Development

JiangRuoan

Here is the updated list of pertinent information related to the keyword “fetal breath movement” without any duplication:

– Babies don’t breathe in the womb in the traditional sense as they don’t have access to air.
– They practice breathing movements called fetal breathing movements.
– Fetal breathing movements help strengthen the muscles involved in breathing and may support the development of air sacs in the lungs.
– These movements start around week 10 of pregnancy but become more frequent after week 20.
– Fetal breathing movements are not necessary for survival and may not happen constantly.
– Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the womb occurs through the umbilical cord and placenta.
– After birth, babies initially rely on the umbilical cord and placenta for oxygen.
– Within about 10 seconds of delivery, babies take their first breath as they respond to the change in environment.
– By week 28 of pregnancy, the lungs of babies are fully developed enough that premature babies can breathe on their own.
– The lungs and circulatory system still need more time to mature.
– By week 37, the lungs have developed more fully and continue to grow and fine-tune until the child is at least 8 years old.
– The lungs begin producing surfactant at around month 6 of pregnancy, which allows them to inflate and deflate.
– Artificial surfactant can be used for babies born extremely preterm, along with breathing assistance from a ventilator, CPAP machine, or small breathing tubes.
– Babies born before week 36 and most born before week 32 may also need breathing support.
– A healthy pregnancy, quitting smoking, following a nutritious diet, avoiding smoke after birth, and encouraging regular exercise can support a baby’s lung development.
– Contractions during delivery squeeze the baby and force amniotic fluid out of the lungs, making it easier for them to breathe.
– As long as the baby is attached to the mother through the placenta and umbilical cord, it is not necessary for them to breathe.
– The baby will take their first breath a few seconds after delivery, without the support of the mother.
– The respiratory system is still growing after birth.
– Alveoli, small air sacs in the lungs, allow the body to transfer oxygen.
– Most newborns have between 20 and 50 million alveoli when born, which can increase to 300 million by the age of eight.
– The ribs surrounding the critical organs will get tougher as the baby develops, making the lungs more secure.
– Newborns may accidentally ingest meconium (first bowel movement) during birth, which can contaminate the lungs if not eliminated promptly.

– corpus luteum
– temporary endocrine structure
– female ovaries
– produces progesterone, estradiol, and inhibin A
– remains of ovarian follicle after ovulation
– inhibits release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and luteinizing hormone
– new corpus luteum forms with each menstrual cycle
– size ranges from under 2 cm to 5 cm in diameter

Endometroid Cysts: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention Strategies

JiangRuoan

– Endometriosis is the growth of endometrium tissue in other areas of the body, such as the fallopian tubes, bladder, or peritoneum.
– Endometrioid cysts, also known as endometriomas, are a type of cyst that can form on the ovaries.
– These cysts can range in size from small (less than 2 inches) to large (up to 8 inches across).
– Endometriomas can cause chronic pelvic pain, make it harder to get pregnant, interfere with fertility treatments, and affect ovary function.
– The most common symptom of endometriosis is persistent lower belly pain, which can worsen before and during periods.
– Other symptoms may include heavy bleeding, pain during sex, soreness, pressure, or no symptoms at all.
– A doctor may discover an endometrioid cyst during a pelvic exam or through ultrasound.
– Ovarian endometrioma is a cyst filled with fluid that resembles chocolate syrup and is found in the ovaries.
– It is a sign of endometriosis, a condition where endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus.
– About 10% of people who menstruate have endometriosis.
– Ovarian endometriomas can cause pelvic pain, increase the risk of ovarian cancer, and make it more difficult to become pregnant.
– While ovarian cancer is rare among those with ovarian endometriomas, monitoring and discussing treatment options is necessary if there is concern about potential cancerous growth.
