In this section of female
reproductive pathology,
we’ll take a look at
pregnancy-induced disorders.
00:06
Let’s begin.
00:09
It’s important that you know the
definition of spontaneous abortion.
00:14
10 to 15% of recognized
pregnancy,
that’s a huge number,
meaning to say that you
want to keep in mind
that your female at this
point, who’s losing her baby,
is psychologically affected –
terminate in
spontaneous abortion.
00:29
Even more unrecognized pregnancies
end in spontaneous abortion.
00:33
So it is a big deal.
00:35
What may then cause this
spontaneous abortion?
Chromosomal abnormalities,
Trauma (over-emphasized)
Infections, meaning to
say that maybe perhaps
there is chorioamnionitis,
which has kicked in.
00:48
Now the trauma, you also
want to keep in mind,
oftentimes, you’ll have
a female pregnant lady
come in and she’s ashamed
that such an event has
taken place at home.
00:58
So therefore once again,
it is psychologically --
that you want to keep in mind as to
how you wish to explore your patient.
01:04
You’ll be getting such patients
not only for your boards
but on your boards as
well, but in all boards,
Step 1, Step 2, CK,
CS, and Step 3.
