Vasectomy Case Study

1581 Words7 Pages

b- Vasectomy: Vasectomy involves incision of the scrotal sac, transection of the vas deferens, and occlusion of both ends by fulguration or suture ligation. The procedure is usually performed with the patient under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. Complications include hematoma formation and sperm granulomas. Spontaneous resolution is rare. After sterilization, remnant sperm remains in the ejaculatory ducts. The man is not considered sterile until he has produced sperm-free ejaculates as documented by semen analysis.

For ten mg of mifepristone taken up to 120 hours (five days) after intercourse, the combined estimate from three trials was an effectiveness of 83% found that many trials found a regimen of 25–50 mg of mifepristone to have higher effectiveness. However, when reviewers looked at only high-quality trials, the difference in effectiveness was not statistically significant. HRA Pharma changed its packaging information for Norlevo (which has dosage and chemical makeup identical to many other EHCs) in November 2013 warning that the drug loses effectiveness in women who weigh more than 165 pounds and is completely ineffective for women who weigh over 176 pounds Women with irregular cycles for any reason (including recent hormone use such as oral contraceptives and breastfeeding) must be excluded from such calculations. Even for women included in the calculation, the limitations of calendar methods of fertility determination have long been

  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Essay

Although the etiology of this complex condition is unclear, the prevalence is about 20-40% in women who have mothers and sisters with PCOS, strongly suggesting a genetic association (Azziz, 2015).

These methods are used to help infertile couples have children. IVM significantly reduces the time needed to mature an egg from 30 days to just 2 days.

  • Case Study John's Sexual Russignment

    702 Words  | 3 Pages

    The biggest takeaway from John’s sexual reassignment is that the care-provider should try to nurture what comes naturally. Of course, there are going to be instances in life that cause you to think differently about your child, and the primary reason for thinking that there was something wrong with John was simply because he was no longer going to be a seen as a fully-functional male, at least from the opinions of specialists who came to see John after the botched circumcision. The belief was that he would think differently of himself because of the fact that he was ever so slightly different from other males, but this change was only physical and could have potentially had minimal, negative, long-term side effects in terms of emotional capacity. It is difficult to place blame on the parents, as they seemed to have great intentions behind their misconstrued agenda to re-gender their other son. What happened to John is closer to an anomaly than typical.

Plasma samples were collected at different time intervals following drug administration, and analyzed for Tamoxifen concentration by HPLC method. The mean ± SE (mean ± standard deviation) of Tamoxifen at 0.5 hour was calculated as 4.87 ± 0.82 ng/ml which shows drugs penetration in the blood immediately after oral dose. The minimum effective concentration of Tamoxifen is 30 ng/ml, that is 40ng/mL in another study (Santana et al., 2008).
