Objectives: To evaluate sexual function in Iranian pregnant women in different trimesters. Materials and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in a women's hospital between August 2013 and August 2014. Four hundred pregnant women were asked to answer the valid and reliable Persian version of Beck depression inventory (BDI) and valid FSFI (Female sexual function index) questionnaires. Results: Forty five subjects were in the first trimester of pregnancy, 170 in the second trimester and 185 in the third trimester. Except BDI and desire subscale of FSFI, all scores were significantly different between the three groups. By considering 26.55 as the cut off point for FSFI, 38 (84.4%) women in the first trimester, 138 (81.2%) in the second trimester, and 156 (84.3%) in the third trimester had sexual dysfunction. Logistic regression analysis showed that BDI was an independent predictor of sexual dysfunction among participants. Conclusions: As sexual life is an important aspect of marital life, physicians should pay more attention to it in pregnant women.

Oogenesis02:07

Oogenesis

In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...

Menopause01:28

Menopause

Menopause, a natural biological process marking the end of a woman's fertility, typically occurs between the fifth and sixth decade of life. This phase is characterized by the exhaustion of the ovarian follicle pool, leading to less responsive ovaries despite the high levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). The consequential decrease in estrogen production results in symptoms like hot flashes, heavy sweating, headaches, hair loss, muscle pains, vaginal...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Development of the Sexual Organs in the Embryo and Fetus01:15

Development of the Sexual Organs in the Embryo and Fetus

Development of the reproductive organs in an embryo starts from a bipotential state. This means the early embryo can develop either male or female reproductive organs. The formation of these organs begins with the growth of gonadal ridges that arise from the intermediate mesoderm during the fifth week of development.
Near the gonadal ridges, two duct systems are present: the mesonephric ducts (Wolffian ducts) and paramesonephric ducts (Müllerian ducts). These ducts form the basis for the...
