Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle01:22

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle

725
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...

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

The Menstrual Cycle01:19

The Menstrual Cycle

1.4K
The menstrual cycle is a recurrent sequence of changes in the uterine endometrium, specifically its functional layer, the stratum functionalis. This cycle prepares the uterus for potential pregnancy. This cycle typically spans 21–35 days, averaging 28 days, and aligns with the ovarian cycle, regulated by fluctuating levels of ovarian hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone.
The menstrual phase occurs from days 1 to 5 and involves the shedding of the stratum functionalis, as a...

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.
Endometriosis, a condition characterized by abnormal growth of...

Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

4.5K
When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Human Rights
  • Gender Studies

Background:

  • Period poverty is a significant global issue disproportionately affecting individuals in socioeconomic vulnerability.
  • Menstrual health is integral to public health and human rights, yet often lacks adequate attention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively map existing evidence on period poverty.
  • To identify diverse perspectives and critical knowledge gaps related to period poverty.
  • To synthesize findings on factors, impacts, management, and coping strategies for period poverty.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic scoping review was conducted in May 2022.
  • Searches were performed across major databases: MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus, LILACS, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Web of Science.
  • The review adhered to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) recommendations for scoping reviews.

Main Results:

  • The review analyzed 23 studies on period poverty.
  • Four key themes emerged: factors associated with period poverty, its impacts, menstrual hygiene management, and coping strategies.
  • These findings highlight the multifaceted nature of period poverty.

Conclusions:

  • Period poverty is recognized as a critical public health and human rights concern, particularly for socioeconomically vulnerable groups.
  • Despite global efforts towards menstrual health, period poverty remains underemphasized.
  • Implementing targeted strategies is essential to overcome period poverty, promote menstrual health, and advance gender equality.
