Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle01:22

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle

2.4K
The ovarian cycle regulates endometrial changes throughout a single menstrual cycle via the coordinated action of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotrophins.
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...

External Female Genitals01:15

External Female Genitals

50.8K
The vulva encompasses the external structures of the female reproductive system. At the forefront is the monpubis, a cushion of fatty tissue atop the pubic bone. Once puberty sets in, this area typically grows hair. Extending from just behind the mons pubis are the labia majora (labia = 'lips'; majora = 'larger'), which are larger skin fs olds coated with hair. Nestled within are the labia minora (labia = 'lips'; minora = 'smaller'), which are thinner, more...

Menopause01:28

Menopause

5.2K
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...

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances01:29

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances

287
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Gender-Affirming Care

Background:

  • Lip feminization is a vital procedure for transgender women undergoing facial feminization.
  • Despite its importance, dedicated research on lip feminization techniques and outcomes is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on surgical and nonsurgical lip feminization techniques.
  • To assess outcomes and patient satisfaction in lip feminization for transgender women.
  • To highlight the role of lip feminization in gender affirmation.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of PubMed, MedLine, and Embase databases.
  • Inclusion of studies on lip feminization techniques and outcomes.
  • Data extraction on techniques, outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • 21 articles were included in the review.
  • Surgical and nonsurgical techniques for lip feminization are discussed.
  • High patient satisfaction rates were reported, often extrapolated from broader facial feminization studies.

Conclusions:

  • Lip feminization is an essential but under-researched component of gender-affirming care.
  • Further procedure-specific research is needed to optimize outcomes for transgender women.
