The demarcation between the upper, contracting portion of the uterus in labor and the
lower, dilating part. - answers - physiologic retraction ring
Placenta that has one or more accessory lobes connected to the main placenta by
blood vessels • no fetal abnormality is associated with this type. However, it is important
it be recognized because the small lobes may be retained in the uterus after birth,
leading to severe maternal hemorrhage - answers - placenta succenturiata
Breakdown of rbc - answers - hemolysis
Components of the blood that help with clotting - answers - platelets
A rare birth defect located at the opening of the urethra - answers - epispadiasis
O formerly called impotence or the inability to achieve an erection
Opsychological problems like stress
Odiseases such as:
Cerebrovascular accident
Diabetes
Parkinson's disease
Some medications (e.g., certain antihypertensive agents) may result in erectile
dysfunction. - answers - ejaculation problems:
Is another factor that may interfere with the proper deposition of sperm. - answers -
premature ejaculation (ejaculation before penetration)
The most common cause of subfertility in women
Hormonal imbalance caused by a condition such as hypothyroidism that interferes with
hypothalamus pituitaryovarian interaction - answers - anovulation:
(absence of ovulation)
May occur from a genetic abnormality such as turner's syndrome (___________) in
which there are no ovaries to produce ova. - answers - hypogonadism
Infection of the pelvic organs: the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and their supporting
structures. - answers - pelvic inflammatory disease (pid)

, Is defined as a cumulative blood loss greater than or equal to 1,000 ml of blood loss
accompanied by signs or symptoms of hypovolemia within 24 hours after the birth

Delivery. - answers - late postpartal hemorrhage
Difference between early & late pph
Primary or early pph refers to pph occurring in the first _________ and is the subject of

answers - subinvolution
A. General information:
_______ refers to the changes that the reproductive organs, particularly the uterus,
undergo after childbirth as they return to their nonpregnant size and condition. -
answers - involution
• uterine involution begins 3 processes: contraction of muscle fibers; - answers -
catabolism and regeneration of uterine epithelium.
Uterine involution begins immediately after delivery of placenta, when uterine
Muscles fibers contract firmly around maternal blood vessels at the area where thee
placenta was attached.
• this contraction controls bleeding from the area left denuded when the placenta
separated.
Postpartal peurperal infections - answers - endometritis
Wound infection
Uti
An incision and drainage of the affected area may be necessary. Infection of the
endometrium affecting the lining of the uterus.
Bacteria may gain access to the uterus through the vagina at the time of birth or
postpartal period.
It may associate with chorioamnionitis and caesarean birth - answers - endometritis
