Summary
Repeat abortion is a significant public health concern in Nepal, affecting over 32% of women. Key risk factors include advanced age, higher parity, and lower educational attainment.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive health
- Public health
- Medical sociology
Background:
- Repeat abortion is a growing concern globally.
- Understanding its incidence and risk factors is crucial for targeted interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the incidence of repeat abortions in Nepal.
- To identify associated risk factors for repeat abortions.
Main Methods:
- A survey of 1172 women undergoing surgical abortions in Kathmandu, Nepal.
- Data collected between December 2009 and March 2010.
- Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used.
Main Results:
- The incidence of repeat abortion was 32.3%.
- Risk factors included advanced age, higher parity, no intention for future children, primary/secondary education, and attending non-governmental clinics.
- Contraceptive practices and acceptance post-procedure were similar between women with repeat and single abortions.
Conclusions:
- Repeat abortion is a significant public health issue in Nepal.
- Findings highlight the need for improved counseling and family planning services.
- Interventions should address identified risk factors to reduce repeat abortion rates.

01:24Disorders of the Female Reproductive System
The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...
01:22Birth Control Methods
Vasectomy is a surgical form of male sterilization that involves severing and sealing the vasa deferentia, preventing sperm from mixing with semen during ejaculation. Because a vasectomy does not impact the testes' ability to produce testosterone, hormone levels, libido, and sexual function generally remain unchanged. While vasectomy is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, with a success rate near 99.85%, rare cases of recanalization (spontaneous reconnection) can occur. Although vasectomy...
01:21Nondisjunction
Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate correctly and move to the opposite poles of the cells. This produces daughter cells with abnormal chromosome numbers. Nondisjunction is common during anaphase I or anaphase II of meiosis. Mutations in synaptonemal complex proteins that attach homologous chromosomes increase the chances of nondisjunction in anaphase I of meiosis I. In contrast, mutations in topoisomerases and condensins that hold sister...
01:21Intrauterine Drug Delivery Systems
Controlled-release systems for intravaginal and intrauterine drug delivery have been developed primarily for the administration of contraceptive steroid hormones. These delivery routes circumvent first-pass hepatic metabolism, thereby enhancing bioavailability and allowing for reduced systemic dosages compared to oral administration. Such approaches contribute to improved therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance, particularly in long-term contraceptive regimens.Intravaginal Drug Delivery...
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.

The nursing management of Mitral Valve Prolapse, or MVP, centers around patient education, symptom monitoring, and lifestyle modifications.Patient Education on MVP Diagnosis and Heredity: Nurses should provide comprehensive education about MVP, a condition where the mitral valve does not close appropriately during heartbeats. This education often includes the condition's pathophysiology, symptoms, and potential complications, like arrhythmias or mitral regurgitation. Though not fully...
