6 Flashcards
inability to conceive after at least 1 year of sexual intercourse at least four times
per week without contraception.
infertility
no previous history of either partner conceiving or impregnating
Primary infertility
inability to conceive after a previous successful pregnancy
Secondary infertility
inability to conceive because of a known condition, such as the absence of a
uterus.
Sterility
inability to achieve or maintain an erection
sufficient for sexual satisfaction for oneself or partner.
Erectile dysfunction/impotence
man is unable to delay ejaculation long enough to satisfy his
partner.
rapid ejaculation
inability to ejaculate into the vagina or delayed
ejaculation. Male difficulty to reach orgasm.
Retarded ejaculation
a persistent or recurring absence of sexual thoughts or
disinterest in sexual activity.
hypoactive sexual desire
woman is unable to attain or maintain adequate vaginal
lubrication/decreased clitoral or labial sensation.
Sexual arousal disorder
difficulty/inability to achieve orgasm in spite of stimulation
and arousal.
orgasmic disorder
A leading cause of infertility in both men and
women is?
sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
during intercourse due to inadequate lubrication, infection or hormonal
imbalance.
Dyspareunia
involuntary spasm of lower third of vagina which makes insertion of penis
painful or impossible.
vaginismus
pain with any type of sexual stimulation other than sexual intercourse
genital pain
the cervical opening is narrower than it should be and, in severe cases, may
be completed closed.
cervical stenosis
are non-cancerous tumors that grow in
the uterus.
Uterine myoma Uterine fibroids
is infection of the pelvic organs: the uterus,
fallopian tubes, ovaries, and their supporting structures.
PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease)
refers to the implantation of uterine endometrium, or nodules, that
have spread from the interior of the uterus to locations outside the uterus
endometriosis
absence of ovulation
anovulation
one of the most common, but treatable, causes
of infertility in women.
Polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS
can
cause sperm to be deposited too far from the sexual partner’s cervix to allow optimal
cervical penetration.
hypospadias
is a synthetic form of the
female hormone estrogen. It was prescribed to pregnant women between 1940 and
1971 to prevent miscarriage, premature labor, and related complications of
pregnancy.
Diethylstilbestrol
occurs when semen enters the bladder instead of emerging
through the penis during orgasm. Although you still reach sexual climax, you
might ejaculate very little or no semen.
Retrogade ejaculation
The minimum sperm
count considered normal is?
20 million per milliliter of seminal fluid, or 50 million per
ejaculation
occurs when veins inside
the scrotum become enlarged
varicocele
is an inflammation of one or both testicles. Bacterial or viral infections can
cause this
orchitis
Men can test their sperm motility at home using what self-test kit
fertell
The least costly way to determine a woman’s
ovulation pattern
Basal temperature recordings
If the endometrium removed by biopsy resembles a corkscrew (a
typical progesterone-dominated endometrium) in the second half of a menstrual
cycle, this suggests what?
ovulation has occurred
radiologic examination of the fallopian tubes using a
radiopaque medium, is a second frequently used technique.
Hysterosalpingography
is visual inspection of the uterus through the insertion of a
hysteroscope, a thin hollow tube, through the vagina, cervix, and into the uterus.
Hysteroscopy
a
laboratory test to predict the capacity of a man’s sperm to fertilize a
woman’s egg.
Sperm penetration assay
most often used for couples who have not been able to conceive
because a woman has blocked or damaged fallopian tubes.
In vitro fertilization
is an assisted reproductive technique for a woman who does
not ovulate. The process involves use of an oocyte that has been donated by a friend or
relative or provided by an anonymous donor
surrogate embryo transfers
said to exist when a pregnancy has not occurred after at least 1 year of
engaging in unprotected coitus
subfertility
