Infertility in Females01:28

Infertility in Females

3.6K
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.

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

753
Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals. George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

989
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from...

Ovarian Cycle01:27

Ovarian Cycle

3.2K
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...

Meiosis vs. Mitosis02:57

Meiosis vs. Mitosis

69.1K
Cell division is necessary for growth and reproduction in organisms. Mitosis aids cell growth and development by dividing somatic cells. In contrast, meiosis causes the division of germ cells and plays an essential role in sexual reproduction. Due to their unique functional requirements, mitosis and meiosis differ from each other in multiple aspects.
Before the start of mitosis and meiosis I, the cell synthesizes DNA, resulting in two homologous copies of each chromosome. DNA synthesis is...

Menses Phase01:18

Menses Phase

922
The uterine cycle begins with the menstrual phase, which is considered day one of the cycle and typically lasts about five days. This phase is characterized by the degeneration and shedding of the stratum functionalis, the functional layer of the endometrium.
When fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum deteriorates, causing a significant drop in the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body. This hormonal decrease triggers the release of prostaglandins, which cause the uterine...

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Sociology
  • Digital Communication

Background:

  • Miscarriage is a common yet often isolating experience.
  • Social media platforms like Instagram offer new avenues for sharing personal health journeys.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To qualitatively analyze Instagram posts to understand shared experiences of miscarriage.
  • To identify common themes and coping mechanisms used by individuals sharing their miscarriage stories online.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative content analysis of 200 Instagram posts using the #ihadamiscarriage hashtag.
  • Directed content analysis with open coding, codebook development, and intercoder reliability testing (kappa=0.95).

Main Results:

  • Identified themes include medical, social, and emotional aspects of miscarriage, family impact, and coping strategies.
  • Miscarriage effects were long-lasting for many users, with social media disclosure acting as a coping mechanism.

Conclusions:

  • Individuals use social media to seek support, community, and to destigmatize miscarriage.
  • Healthcare providers can consider social media platforms as a valuable support and coping resource for patients experiencing pregnancy loss.
