not a reliable methodRhythm methodRequires abstinence around time of ovulation; not a reliable methodMechanical barriersPrevent sperm from entering female reproductive tractChemical barriersDestroy sperm in the female reproductive tract; primarily spermicides; often used with mechanical barriers27-*Contraception (cont.)MethodDescriptionOral contraceptivesBirth control pills; prevent ovulation by preventing LH surgeInjectable contraceptivesPrevent ovulation and alter lining of uterus to prevent implantation of blastocystInsertable contraceptivesRing inserted vaginally and removed at the beginning of the 4th week to allow menstruationContraceptive implantsSmall rods of progesterone implanted beneath skin; prevent ovulation27-*Contraception (cont.)MethodDescriptionTransdermal contraceptivesContraceptives in the form of a patch; applied weekly for 3 weeks; not used the 4th week to allow menstruationIntrauterine device (IUD)Small, solid devices placed into uterus by MD; prevents implantation of blastocystSurgical methodsTubal ligation – fallopian tube fulgurated to prevent sperm from reaching oocyteVasectomy – vas deferens is fulgurated to prevent ejaculation of sperm27-*Apply Your KnowledgeANSWER: The rhythm method is not as effective as other birth control, because it is sometimes difficult to tell when ovulation occurs.Your patient has just been told that she is pregnant, but she does not understand why she could get pregnant. She states, “ I have been using the rhythm method of birth control very carefully.” What patient teaching would you do to assist her to understand?Good Answer!27-*InfertilityInability to conceive a childPrimary – no prior pregnancy, unable to achieve pregnancy in 12 monthsSecondary – at least one prior pregnancy, unable to achieve pregnancy after one yearCauses 15% unknown35% male-related problems50% female-related problems27-*Infertility (cont.)Male-relatedImpotenceRetrograde ejaculationLow or absent sperm countMedications/drugsDecreased testosteroneScarring from STDsPrior mumps infection Inflammation of epididymis or testesFemale-relatedScarring from STDsPelvic inflammatory diseaseInadequate dietNo ovulation or menstrual cycleEndometriosisAbnormal shape of uterus or cervixHormonal imbalancesCysts in ovariesOlder than 40 years 27-*Infertility (cont.)Tests Semen analysisMonitoring of morning body temperatureBlood hormone measurementsEndometrial biopsyUrine analysis for LHHysterosalpingogram LaparoscopyTreatmentsSurgical repair of abnormalitiesFertility drugsHormone therapiesArtificial inseminationIn vitro fertilization Use of surrogate27-*Apply Your Knowledge___ Retrograde ejaculation___ Mumps infection___ Inadequate diet___ Scarring from STDs___ Pelvic inflammatory  disease___ Hormone imbalances___ Use of some medications ___ Being over 40 years oldIndicate whether each cause of infertility is male-related (M), female-related (F), or both (B).BFFFFMMMANSWER:Very good!27-*Sexually Transmitted DiseasesSTDCause AIDSHIV virus causes AIDS; described in Chapter 21ChlamydiaCaused by bacterium; most commonly reported; often no symptoms in female Genital wartsCaused by HPV; not everyone infected has symptomsGonorrhea Bacterial cause27-*Sexually Transmitted Diseases (cont.)STDCause Herpes simplexCaused by viruses; type I causes cold sores; type II commonly known as genital herpes; may be passed from mother to child during childbirthPubic liceParasitic infestation; commonly called crabsSyphilisCaused by bacteria; decreasing in women but increasing in males who have sex with other malesTrichomoniasisCaused by protozoan parasite; also called trichomonas infection or “trich”27-*Apply Your KnowledgeMatch:___ Most commonly reported STD in the U.S. A.
