The document discusses reproductive health topics including medical termination of pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and infertility. It provides details on various methods of abortion and sexually transmitted diseases like their symptoms, causes, and treatments. For infertility, it describes causes in males like low sperm count and in females like issues with ovulation. It also explains assisted reproductive technologies used to treat infertility such as IVF, ZIFT, GIFT, and ICSI. These techniques help infertile couples have children but are expensive and not available to all.

2. MEDICAL TERMINATION OFPREGNANCY(MTP)
Intentional or voluntary termination of pregnancy is called medical
termination of pregnancy (MTP)orinduced abortion.
45 to 50 million MTPs/ year-world
Decreases population- not meant for thatpurpose
Accept/ legalise is debated due toemotional, ethical, religious &
social issues
Government of India legalized- 1971, with strict restrictions to check
indiscriminate & illegal femalefoeticide
MTP-rid of unwanted pregnancy due to unprotected intercourse,
failure of contraceptive, rapes, pregnancy which may fatal to mother
or foetus
Thismethod is safewithin 1st trimester (12 weeks), 2ndtrimester
abortions areriskier
Illegal- unqualified quacks, unsafe & fatal- avoided bycounselling
Misuse of amniocentesis, followed by MTP-avoided
3. SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STDs)
Diseasesor infections which are transmitted through sexual
intercourse are called Sexually transmitted diseases(STDs)/Venereal
diseases(VD)/ Reproductive tract infections(RTI)
Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Genital herpes, Chlamydiasis, genitalwarts,
Trichomoniasis, hepatitis-B andHIV.
Mode of transmission- Hepatitis- B & HIV
1. Sexualcontact with infectedperson
2. Sharing of injectionneedles
3. Sharing the unsterilized surgical instruments
4. Transfusion of blood from infected person to healthy person
5. Infected mother to foetus
Except hepatitis-B, genital herpes and HIVinfections, othersare
curable.

5. KNOWTHE SYMPTOMS OF STDs
Men
Swelling or tenderness in genital area.
Blisters ,sores or bumps around the mouth or genitals.
Fever, chills and aches.
Unusual itching.
Burning sensation when you pass urine or move your bowels.
White, watery or yellow discharge from the penis.
Women
Have fewer symptoms than men, often none at all. STDs can lead to cancer. Women should
watch for-
Bleeding that is not part of their period.
Pelvic or vaginal pain.
Discharge from the vagina.
Painful urination.
Unusual rash, sore or growth in the genital area.
6. Symptoms are minor- early stages:
1. Itching, fluid discharge, slight pain, swelling in the genital region.
2. STDsremain asymptomatic in female and remain undetectedfor
long.
3. In the later stage it may leads to Pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID),
abortion, still birth, ectopic pregnancy, infertility or even cancer in
reproductive tract.
Preventions:
1. Avoiding sexwith unknown partners or multiplepartners.
2. Always using condoms during coitus.
3. In caseof doubt, consult adoctor forearly detection.
4. Getting complete treatment for diagnoseddisease.
7. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Overview
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is infection of a woman's reproductive organs. Infection
spreads upward from the cervix to the uterus, Fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding
structures
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) Symptoms: -
If a woman has PID, she may have any of these symptoms:
Abdominal pain (especially lower abdominal pain) or tenderness
Back pain
Abnormal uterine bleeding
Unusual or heavy vaginal discharge
Painful urination
Painful sexual intercourse
Symptoms not related to the female reproductive organs include fever, nausea, and
vomiting. PID symptoms may be worse at the end of a menstrual period and during the
first several days following a period.
8. INFERTILITY
Thecouple unable to produce children in spite of unprotected
sexis due to Infertility. Problems of infertility may be in male or
female.
Thereason of infertility may be:- physical, congenial,diseases,
drugs, immunological or evenpsychological.
Female are blamed often in India
Specialized Health care units like Infertility clinics-diagnose,
corrective treatments to havechild
When treatments are not enough, couple are assisted with
techniques called assisted reproductive technologies
(ART)
9. Methods of infertility control:
1. IVF- ET (In Vitro Fertilization- Embryo Transfer)
Testtube baby, fertilization takes place outside & embryois
transferred
Female is induced to produce multiple egg/ova
Eggis then collected from wife/ donor & sperm collected from
husband/ donor
Incubated in culture medium- fertilization & form zygote
It is then transferred to the uterus of wife, implants & pregnancy
continues
Two types
a. ZIFT (Zygote Intra fallopian Transfer)- Zygote/ Embryo
with 8 blastomeres transferred to fallopian tube
b. IUT (Intra- Uterine Transfer)- Embryo transferred at 32
celled stage to uterus
10. IN MALES IN FEMALES
Oligospermia: Low sperm count Anovulation:Absence of ovulation.
Azoospermia: Absence of sperm. Oligoovulation: Deficient ovulation.
Asthenospermia: Low sperm motility.
Hyperprolactinemia: excess of prolactin
can lead to anovulation.
Teratozoospermia: Defective sperm
morphology.
Idiopathic Infertility: Failure or abnormal
fertilization.
Cryptorchidism: Failure ofTestes to
descend in the scrotal sac.
Tubal Infertility: Damaged/ligated
fallopian
tube
INFERTILITY IN HUMAN: -
Causes & Consequences
11. Significance:
a. Boon to infertile mother
b. Men with Oligospermia (low sperm
count)
c. Embryos canbe frozen & used forfuture
12. 2. GIFT (Gamete Intra Fallopian transfer)
Ovum collected from donor & transferred to female who cannot
produce one but provide suitable environment forfertilization
Washedsperms & ova are transferred to the ampulla of fallopian
tube with the help of laparoscope- fertilization & cleavage
Useful when fimbriae fail to capture ovum & females having sperm
antibodies in their cervicalsecretion
13. 3. Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Sperm is directly injected into the ovum in culture medium
Zygote or Embryo- transferred to fallopian tube or uterus
14. 4. Artificial insemination (AI)
It is useful in cases either the male partner unable to inseminate
the female or very lowsperm counts (oligospermia)
Semenof male partner/ donor is collected, concentrated&
introduced into vagina or uterus of female- intra -uterine
insemination (IUI)
Drawbacks:
1. Thesetechniques are not possible with female withdamaged
uterine wall.
2. Require high precision, specialized professional & expensive
instrumentation & so available in few centers & available to few
people only.
3. Raisedseveral ethical, emotional, religious & moral issues inthe
society.
