Avatar f tn The fetal heart undergoes a considerable amount of growth very early in pregnancy. The most critical period of its development is between three and seven weeks after fertilization, when a simple heart tube assumes the shape of a four-chambered heart. In fact, the heart actually begins beating by the 22nd day of life.
935426 tn?1244779980 Hello, I am wondering if anyone has heard of a fetal heart "pointing in the wrong direction." Well, those are the words our OB/GYN used. He said that all aspects of the heart seem to be fine -- though it appeared to be that the heart was pointing to the right . . . I think that's what he said. He said he "just wanted to be sure" and has set an appointment up for us with another physician to get a second opinion. I am quite perplexed by this.
Avatar f tn No its not especially in the first trimester. Rapid development of babies major organs, brain and spinal cord happen in the first trimester. I hear some women have a small glass while pregnant personally I wouldnt but if you were to you should wait at least until the middle of the second trimester. Ask your doctor. It is currently not recommended that any alcohol be taken in while pregnant since FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome) is not completely understood on when and how it all happens.
Avatar f tn If you fractured or someone had fractured your pelvis in any way is it possible for your reproductive organs to be damaged? l know it is a silly question but like if someone was squishing you in the pelvic region really hard for a prolonged period of time could it affect your reproductive organs in any way?

Avatar f tn If she was very young at the time it occurred and the amount of force he used could have damaged her reproductive organs. Now if she still has all of her reproductive organs and she is having unprotected sex and thinking there is no way she can get pregnant just off of thought she can't get pregnant may be risky as she still has her reproductive organs and anything is possible.
Avatar m tn If you have had long-standing hemorrhoids, you will need to rule out the possibility that an older infection could have caused alterations in blood supply to the reproductive organs. Men with hemorrhoids can develop conditions called the levator ani syndrome or proctalgia fugax. Either condition can cause alterations in the function of the perineal muscles.

Avatar f tn What are the symptoms of damage to the female reproductive organs that has nothing to do with an std, more like physical damage from the outside? is that possible?
Avatar n tn I can understand your concern because x-rays are known to cause effect on ovaries and your reproductive organs. But at the same time, I would like to assure you that the current technology has reduced radiation exposure significantly and the beam is limited only to the area of interest. X-rays with the highest exposure of the reproductive organs include: abdominal x-rays, arteriograms, barium enemas, body CAT scans and x-rays of the genitourinary organs.

Avatar f tn if someone was to apply large amounts of pressure on your hips on both sides and in the front and back could that squish your pelvic bone and damage a females reproductive organs. Over the last 8 months or so I've been around some people that have been hitting me in the hip area and squeezing me in my hip bone.
Avatar f tn During development of the male reproductive organs the testes descend from the abdomen into the scrotum just before birth and the tract is closed thus preventing the testes to ascend back into the abdomen. But at times this tract does not close or approximate well which can lead to the condition described by you. This condition is known as ascended testis. Some patients have a patent fold of peritoneum through which the testis goes up. The condition is rare and very few cases are reported.
Avatar f tn I have had a few Pap smears since and they have been normal. I am scared that I could have got a std that ruined my reproductive organs without me knowing it. If I did get a std I did not know about years ago and it turned into a terrible disease that wrecked my reproductive organs would my doctor be able to see signs of this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Avatar f tn I also would like to know if the size and development of the clit and labia will have something to do with developed sexuality, does it depend on how open sexualy she is and the frequency that she orgasms?
