Uterus and Cervix01:18

Uterus and Cervix

6.2K
The uterus, commonly called the womb, is a vital reproductive organ in females designed to provide a nurturing environment for the implantation and growth of an embryo. It is shaped like a hollow pear and positioned between the urinary bladder and the rectum. The uterus's structure allows it to support and protect a developing fetus throughout pregnancy.
The uterus is securely anchored within the pelvic cavity by paired broad ligaments on either side. It is further stabilized by three pairs...

Uterine Tubes01:16

Uterine Tubes

3.0K
The uterine or fallopian tubes function as the conduit through which oocytes travel from the ovaries to the uterus. Each fallopian tube measures approximately 10 to 13 cm long and is anatomically divided into the infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, and interstitial part (or intramural segment). The infundibulum is characterized by its funnel shape and features extensions called fimbriae which reach towards the peritoneal cavity. These fimbriae play a critical role during ovulation as they extend...

In Vitro Fertilization01:24

In Vitro Fertilization

1.1K
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...

Histology of the Uterus01:19

Histology of the Uterus

4.0K
The uterine wall consists of three histological layers: the perimetrium, myometrium, and endometrium. The outermost perimetrium is a thin, serous membrane connected with the broad ligament on the sides, which helps anchor the uterus in the pelvic cavity. The thickest layer, myometrium, is mainly made up of smooth muscle tissue bundles. Its contractions are vital in facilitating the expulsion of the uterine lining, fetus, and placenta during menstruation and childbirth.
The endometrium is the...

Ovarian Cycle01:27

Ovarian Cycle

4.7K
The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase is variable and averaging around 14 days. Ovulation, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), marks the transition between the two phases. The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle...

    Summary

    Uterine inversion is a rare but serious obstetric complication. Prompt diagnosis and management, including repositioning, are crucial to prevent life-threatening hemorrhage and shock.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Uterine inversion is a rare obstetric emergency.
    • It can occur during the third stage of labor or in non-puerperal women.
    • Associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the existing literature on uterine inversion.
    • To review its incidence, classification, and management.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature review of English-language articles published since 1980.
    • Data extraction on incidence, risk factors, and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Incidence varies geographically (1:27,000 UK to 1:1739 US).
    • Most common in women over 45, often linked to benign pathology (85%).

  • Treatment involves non-invasive or invasive uterine repositioning.

    • Conclusions:

    • Uterine inversion is a severe complication with high risks of hemorrhage and shock.
    • Early recognition and intervention are vital.
    • Often occurs without identifiable risk factors.
