Naacog'S Clinical Issues in Perinatal and Women'S Health Nursing
|January 1, 1992
Abstract:
The women's health care nurse practitioner has a unique opportunity to provide care to women in all stages of the reproductive life span. The care and guidance provided can affect general gynecologic health and the patient's ability to conceive. Crucial decisions about contraception and life-style choices have a far-reaching impact on reproductive potential. Women must be made aware of the issues surrounding these topics so they can make appropriate choices. The nurse practitioner, in the role of primary care provider, can assist women in this decision making process.

Male infertility affects millions of couples worldwide, arising from various factors that impact different stages of the reproductive process. An endocrine imbalance resulting from conditions like hypogonadism, Klinefelter syndrome, or pituitary disorders can disrupt hormone levels and reduce sperm production. Testicular defects, such as tumors, cryptorchidism, atrophic testes, abnormal sperm morphology, and low sperm count or motility, may arise due to genetic factors, structural...
01:28Infertility in Females
Female infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse and affects about 10–15% of couples worldwide. The primary cause of female infertility is ovulatory disorders, which hinder the release of eggs. These disorders can be classified as hypothalamic amenorrhea, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, and hyperprolactinemic anovulation disorders.
