Infertility strikes both men and women. Describe in a summary the biological causes that impair the process of conception in both males and females. Besides mentioning specific reasons of infertility in males and females, you need to include in your answer other cause(s) that might be the result of a combination of factors originating from both men and women.

A young lady requesting abortion since she isn't prepared for a child and has no work. Identify and explain the following: - Act or the object of the act: - Intention: (good or bad? Why?) - Circumstances: (increase the good, decrease the good, increase the malice, decrease the malice, choose and why?) - Is the act good or bad? Justify answer using the different bioethical theories
When investigating fertility concerns, a common course of action is to rule out sperm cell-related causes of infertility first since obtaining the relevant specimens is generally less invasive. Sperm number and motility are typically the first parameters assessed in a semen sample. Vitality is another commonly assessed parameter, particularly when motility is deemed poor since it allows physicians to differentiate between live non-motile sperm and dead sperm cells. The procedure for determining vitality is to place sperm in a hypotonic solution and observe the specimen under the microscope after a 5-minute incubation. This short incubation time allows for observable cellular changes without causing cell death. What type of microscope would you recommend using to observe sperm cells for this laboratory test and why?

Conditions that cause the fallopian tubes to be narrower than normal may result in: Implantation of a fertilized ovum within the tube. More rapid propulsion of the ovum through the tube. Increased likelihood of pregnancy during each cycle. Excessive cramping and bleeding during menstruation .

The following clinical scenario contains (4) choose-between-two options: A 28-year-old mother arrives to your OB/GYN clinic to follow-up on her early trimester pregnancy. She has a history of one full term pregnancy, which resulted in the delivery of a boy born with a neural tube defect known as meningocele. Prior to her first pregnancy, the patient had a personal history of anorexia. Given this clinical picture, the patient’s first son likely had a condition known as (SCID / spina bifida). This condition likely resulted from a (folate / purine) deficiency in the patient’s diet. One clinical finding that can confirm your diagnosis is if the patient displays (megaloblastic anemia / Heinz bodies). To decrease the likelihood that her second child develops a similar condition, you should prescribe this patient a (pyrimidine replacement therapy / folate supplement).
The following are factors that contributes to infertility EXCEPT: professional hazard poor sperm production age exercise
KW. is 16 years old and has experienced oligomenorrhea (infrequent menstruation) for several years. Endocrine screening shows she has high levels of free testosterone and a LH.FSH ratio of 3:1. a) Is KW. ovulating? How do you know? b) Why is she not menstruating normally? How does her LH FSH levels affect follicle development and menstruation.
A patient presents requesting hormonal contraception . She has been researching her options on the Web and has become confused by the large variety of OC pills available , including monophasic, multiphasic , and progesterone only . She asks how the pill prevents pregnancy and why the variety of preparations . Which of the following is the primary mechanism by which OCs prevent pregnancy ? Increasing cervical mucus viscosity Inhibiting serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels Inducing lymphocytic endometritis Inhibiting serum luteinizing hormone (LH ) levels
Jack and Gill are married couples with three children . The couple consulted a family planning clinic . As the nurse manning the clinic you counselled the couple regarding family planning . Jack asks the nurse about vasectomy . He understands that this is a minor operation and asks if he'll become sterile immediately . The nurse's best response is: “No you'll remain fertile ." It may takes several weeks and as many as 30 to 40 ejaculations to remove all the live sperm." You'll be sterile in 2 to 3 days ." If the procedure is done correctly you'll be sterile immediately
Mumps is a viral infection. The primary symptom of mumps is visible swelling of the parotid gland on either side of the face. However, the virus can also infiltrate the male reproductive system, causing the testes to atrophy. Some effects include oligospermia (low sperm count), azoospermia (no sperm in semen), and asthenospermia (reduced sperm movement). Describe how intrauterine insemination can be used to aid successful fertilization and explain why it helps. Make sure that the treatment process AND how the process helps to improve fertility are clearly explained.
