Study Notes
Effects of Aging on the Reproductive System
- Female Reproductive System:
- Decreased egg quality and quantity with age
- Increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., Down syndrome) with advanced maternal age
- Decreased ovarian reserve and follicle count with age
- Menopause: cessation of menstruation, typically around 50-55 years old
- Male Reproductive System:
- Decreased sperm quality and quantity with age
- Decreased testosterone levels with age
- Increased risk of erectile dysfunction with age
- Prostate gland enlargement with age, potentially leading to urinary issues
Family Planning
- Types of Family Planning Methods:
- Hormonal Methods:
- Oral contraceptives (birth control pills)
- Contraceptive patches
- Intrauterine devices (IUDs)
- Injectables
- Barrier Methods:
- Condoms
- Diaphragms
- Spermicides
- Intrauterine Devices (IUDs):
- Copper IUDs
- Hormonal IUDs
- Surgical Methods:
- Vasectomy (male sterilization)
- Tubal ligation (female sterilization)
- Natural Methods:
- Rhythm method
- Basal body temperature method
- Cervical mucus method
- Hormonal Methods:
- Effectiveness:
- Hormonal methods: 91-99% effective
- Barrier methods: 80-95% effective
- IUDs: 99% effective
- Surgical methods: 99% effective
- Natural methods: 75-90% effective
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
- Types of STDs:
- Bacterial STDs:
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Syphilis
- Viral STDs:
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
- Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
- Parasitic STDs:
- Pubic lice (crabs)
- Scabies
- Bacterial STDs:
- Transmission and Prevention:
- Transmission: sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex
- Prevention: condoms, abstinence, monogamy, and getting tested regularly
- Symptoms and Diagnosis:
- Varying symptoms, including genital lesions, discharge, and pain
- Diagnosis: physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies
- Treatment and Management:
- Antibiotics for bacterial STDs
- Antiviral medications for viral STDs
- Topical treatments for parasitic STDs
- Behavioral changes to prevent transmission
