A slightly alkaline secretion of the endocervical glands. The consistency and amount are dependent on the physiological hormone changes in the menstrual cycle. It contains the glycoprotein mucin, amino acids, sugar, enzymes, and electrolytes, with a water content up to 90%. The mucus is a useful protection against the ascent of bacteria and sperm into the uterus. (From Dictionary of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1988)
The viscous secretion of mucous membranes. It contains mucin, white blood cells, water, inorganic salts, and exfoliated cells.
The neck portion of the UTERUS between the lower isthmus and the VAGINA forming the cervical canal.
Tumors or cancer of the UTERINE CERVIX.
A change in the CERVIX UTERI with respect to its readiness to relax. The cervix normally becomes softer, more flexible, more distensible, and shorter in the final weeks of PREGNANCY. These cervical changes can also be chemically induced (LABOR, INDUCED).
High molecular weight mucoproteins that protect the surface of EPITHELIAL CELLS by providing a barrier to particulate matter and microorganisms. Membrane-anchored mucins may have additional roles concerned with protein interactions at the cell surface.
Pathological processes of the UTERINE CERVIX.
A non-specific host defense mechanism that removes MUCUS and other material from the LUNGS by ciliary and secretory activity of the tracheobronchial submucosal glands. It is measured in vivo as mucus transfer, ciliary beat frequency, and clearance of radioactive tracers.

Correlation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 RNA levels in blood and the female genital tract. (1/176)

In this study, the correlations of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA levels in blood plasma, vaginal secretions, and cervical mucus of 52 HIV-1-infected women were determined. The amount of cell-free HIV-1 RNA in blood plasma was correlated with that in vaginal secretions (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r) = 0.64, P<.001). In both blood plasma and vaginal secretions, the amounts of cell-free and cell-associated HIV-1 RNA were highly correlated (r=0.76, P<.01 and r=0.85, P<.01, respectively). Cell-free HIV-1 RNA levels in blood plasma and vaginal secretions were negatively correlated with CD4+ T lymphocyte count (r=-0.44, P<.01 and r=-0.40, P<.01, respectively). Similar to the effect observed in blood plasma, initiation of antiretroviral therapy significantly reduced the amount of HIV-1 RNA in vaginal secretions. These findings suggest that factors that lower blood plasma virus load may also reduce the risk of perinatal and female-to-male heterosexual transmission by lowering vaginal virus load.  (+info)

Detection of human herpesvirus 8 in cervicovaginal secretions and seroprevalence in human immunodeficiency virus type 1-seropositive and -seronegative women. (2/176)

Epidemiologic studies suggest that human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) may be sexually transmitted. To study the potential for HHV-8 transmission through cervicovaginal (CV) secretions, the presence of HHV-8 DNA was investigated by nested polymerase chain reaction in the cellular fraction of CV secretions from 36 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-seropositive and 29 HIV-1-seronegative women. The same patients were tested for antibodies to two defined HHV-8 antigens (latency-associated nuclear antigen and open-reading frame 65-encoded structural protein) and for HHV-8 DNA in their peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The findings were compared with the rate of HHV-8 detection in semen samples of 20 HIV-1-infected men. HHV-8 DNA was detected in the CV samples from only 1 HHV-8-seropositive AIDS patient, in 3 PBMC samples (1/29 HIV-1-seronegative patients, 1/3 AIDS patients with Kaposi's sarcoma, and 1/19 AIDS patients), and in 1 of 20 semen samples. HHV-8 infection was more common in HIV-1-infected than uninfected women. Thus HHV-8 DNA is only rarely detectable in CV secretions and semen of HHV-8-infected individuals.  (+info)

The oestrous cycle of the brown lemur, Lemur fulvus. (3/176)

Examination of vaginal smears and observations of the colour and tumescence of the genitalia and discharge of mucus of 9 brown lemurs indicated that the oestrous cycle lasted for 30 days and that cycles occurred between September and July. The timing of cycles of females housed in visual isolation differed from that of females able to see other lemurs, indicating that the oestrous cycle in this species can be influenced by different housing conditions.  (+info)

Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) concentrations in cervical mucus of women with normal menstrual cycle. (4/176)

Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) is a potent inhibitor of human leukocyte elastase. SLPI transcripts in the cervical tissue were detected during the menstrual cycle by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Western blot analysis revealed that the intensity of SLPI protein in cervical tissue in the ovulatory phase was stronger than in other phases. Immunohistochemistry using an anti-SLPI polyclonal antibody revealed positive staining in the epithelial cells of the endocervix. Western blot analysis also revealed that SLPI protein was present in the cervical mucus. Again the intensity of SLPI protein in the ovulatory phase was stronger than that in the follicular phase. The SLPI concentrations and SLPI/elastase ratios in the cervical mucus of women in the ovulatory phase were significantly higher than in the follicular and luteal phases. The SLPI and elastase concentrations in the cervical mucus were positively correlated. No significant difference was found in the SLPI serum concentrations of women during the menstrual cycle. These results suggest that production of SLPI from cervical epithelial cells during the ovulatory phase may be important for protection from the effects of elastase.  (+info)

Comparison of human cervical mucus and artificial sperm penetration media. (5/176)

The cervical mucus penetration tests aid research and determine the clinical importance of positive sperm antibody tests. Limited availability and variability of human cervical mucus have instigated the search for mucus substitutes for these tests. This study compares sperm migration in cervical mucus with that in artificial media including hyaluronate solution, egg white and albumin Tyrode solution. Results were quantified by measuring the migration distance (the maximum distance of capillary migration from a semen reservoir by spermatozoa after 1 h) and the sperm concentration at half the migration distance. The mean of both measures for cervical mucus and hyaluronate solution were equivalent [4.4 +/- 1.1 (SD) versus 4.3 +/- 1.0 cm and 118 +/- 51 versus 111 +/- 44x10(3)/ml], and higher than in egg white and albumin Tyrode solution. Antisperm antibodies impaired sperm penetration in cervical mucus and hyaluronate solution in a similar manner (r = 0.92). These results suggest that hyaluronate solution sufficiently resembles human cervical mucus in terms of penetrability that it may be used as a substitute for mucus in capillary tube tests of sperm function. The higher penetrability of cervical mucus and hyaluronate solution is probably related to a channelling effect due to their polymeric structure.  (+info)

Cytokine profile in genital tract secretions from female adolescents: impact of human immunodeficiency virus, human papillomavirus, and other sexually transmitted pathogens. (6/176)

Quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to measure interleukin (IL)-2, IL-10, and IL-12 in cervical secretions from female adolescents with and without sexually transmitted infections. Compared with human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]-negative patients, HIV-positive patients had higher concentrations of IL-10 (118.2 pg/mL vs. 34.5 pg/mL; P=.002) and IL-12 (175.5 pg/mL vs. 85.1; P=.03). IL-2 concentrations were not statistically different. Furthermore, genital tract infections were predictors of IL-10 and IL-12 concentrations. Coinfection with HIV and human papillomavirus predicted the highest IL-10 concentrations; coinfection with HIV, human papillomavirus, and other sexually transmitted pathogens predicted the highest IL-12 concentrations. The data indicate that concomitant infection of the genital tract with HIV and other viral, bacterial, or protozoan pathogens influences the local concentrations of some immunoregulatory cytokines.  (+info)

Antimicrobial activity of human cervical mucus. (7/176)

The antibacterial activity of human cervical mucus (CM) was examined on standardized microbial colonized agar plates (agar diffusion test). In parallel, the lysozyme content of CM was determined by means of a turbidimetric test system in aliquots of the same CM specimens. Suspensions of living lyophilized Micrococcus lysedeikticus were used as bacterial substrate. Testing was performed in a total of 133 CM samples, obtained at mid-cycle from sexually active women from unselected infertile couples with a median age of 30 (range 21-42) years. All mucus specimens showed considerable antibacterial activity with clearly visible circular inhibition zones around the CM-filled holes in the colonized agar plates. Related to the effect of hen's egg white (HEW)-lysozyme on the same plates, the median activity of the CM specimens in the agar diffusion test was equivalent to 33.0 (range 6.4-391.4) microg/ml HEW-lysozyme. However, there was a wide inter-individual range of antibacterial effects of cervical secretions. The cervical index did not significantly influence the outcome of either test. The pH of the endocervical CM also was not correlated with the antibacterial effect. Sexual activity leading to the presence of spermatozoa in CM considerably increased its antibacterial effect. The activity was markedly higher in samples obtained within hours after intercourse compared with those taken after sexual abstinence of >/=5 days (P < 0.05). In microbially colonized CM specimens compared to sterile CM, all obtained under hormonally standardized conditions, the antibacterial activity in the agar plate test was significantly lower (P < 0.05). The results of this pilot study demonstrate the considerable antibacterial activity of human CM.  (+info)

A new visual indicator of chlamydial cervicitis? (8/176)

OBJECTIVES: To determine the usefulness of endocervical discharge opacity as a risk indicator for chlamydial infection in relation to two acknowledged visual indicators--yellow endocervical discharge and easily induced mucosal bleeding of the cervix. METHODS: Women from two family planning clinics, a therapeutic abortion clinic, and a university student health clinic (n = 1418 total) consented to a pelvic examination and chlamydia testing, and completed a questionnaire on socio-demographics, sexual behaviour, medical history, and symptoms. A case of chlamydia was defined as positive by culture or blocked enzyme immunoassay in an endocervical swab. RESULTS: The prevalence of chlamydial infection in the clinics was 6.3%. All three of the visual indicators--yellow endocervical discharge, easily induced bleeding, and opaque cervical discharge--were statistically significantly and independently associated with chlamydial infection (odds ratios 2.8, 2.3, and 2.9 respectively), independent of clinic type. Adjustment for the other visual indicators made little difference to the odds ratios. CONCLUSION: Opacity of endocervical discharge was at least as important as the other two commonly acknowledged indicators of chlamydial cervicitis--yellow endocervical discharge and easily induced mucosal bleeding of the cervix.  (+info)

CORTES, Manuel E.; GONZALEZ, Fernando and VIGIL, Pilar. Crystallization of Bovine Cervical Mucus at Oestrus: An Update. Rev. Med. Vet. [online]. 2014, n.28, pp.103-116. ISSN 0122-9354.. Bovine cervical mucus changes its biochemical composition and biophysical properties due to the variations in sex steroid levels during the oestrous cycle. As a consequence of oestrogen rise, cervical mucus is produced in larger amounts at oestrus-a stage also characterized by an increase in mucus crystallization when observed under light microscopy. The objective of this article is to provide an updated review of the main aspects regarding crystallization of bovine cervical mucus. First, it makes reference to the composition of cervical mucus and the critical functions that this secretion exerts on bovine reproductive physiology, as well as in other species. Then, the article deals with the phenomenon of crystallization observed in cervical mucus, describing the main models used to classify the crystalline ...
Methods Cervical mucus samples were collected from 120 normal healthy volunteers using a Catamenial cup placed over the cervix for 30 min. Aliquots were stored at -80oC. The six groups (20 participants per group) were: healthy asymptomatic post-menopausal women (PM), women in the proliferative or follicular phase, and women using levonogerestrol IUDs, DMPA or combined oral contraceptives.. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE using both 12% Bis Tris and 3-8% Tris acetate acrylamide gels. The gels were stained with Coomassie blue (CM) for (12%gels) or silver stain for (3-8%). Albumin concentrations were measured using ELISA. Western blots were prepared in an iBlot system.. ...

Symptoms of the homeopathic remedy Silicea Terra from the Guiding Symptoms of our Materia Medica by Constantine Hering, a ten volumes comprehensive record of confirmed symptoms, published in 1879. It is very fertile and will help sperm reach the egg. Fertile cervical mucus develops as a co-efficient of the increase in the estrogen hormones during the first half of your menstrual cycle. Under the influence of estrogens, cervical mucus becomes abundant, clear, and stretchable, and somewhat like egg white. It contributes to fertilization. While egg white cervical mucus is the best for fertility, sperm are able to swim through clear and watery cervical mucus without much resistance. This egg white cervical mucus is the most fertile, as it allows sperm to swim easily into the cervix. What Is Cervical Mucus? A womans cervix has tiny glands that produce mucus every day. Gradually, as you approach ovulation, the cervical mucus will increase, though the consistency will be sticky and the color will ...
Incubation of cervical mucus with the proteolytic enzyme bromelin is known to result in complete liquefaction of the gel. This effect has been used in the detection spermagglutinating antibodies in cervical mucus. However, the well-known papain-like effect of bromelin on human immunoglobulin G (IgG) might be expected to lead to an underestimation of the sperm antibody activity in cervical mucus. This possibility was investigated by studying the effect of bromelin on known amounts of purified IgG from four spermagglutinating sera. Serologic testing of bromelin-treated samples of cervical mucus mixed with purified IgG revealed no effect on spermagglutinin titers, whereas a significant effect was observed on purified IgG alone. Inert proteins in cervical mucus seem to protect the antibodies against degradation, apparently by substrate competition. Liquefaction of cervical mucus by bromelin seems to be a better basis for the assessment of the sperm antibody content of the mucus than extraction ...
Cervical mucus has a very important role in the conception phase. It is vital that you improve the quantity of your cervical mucus as it aids the sperm in its journey to locate the egg. Therefore, the mucus must be prevalent enough to keep the sperm flowing in the direction of the egg.. One way to improve your cervical mucus quantity is to cut back on certain substances. Items such as caffeine and tobacco will hinder the production of cervical mucus and make it more difficult for the sperm to reach the egg. Eliminating or decreasing the intake of these items will help the process greatly.. Another way to improve your cervical mucus quantity is to drink enough fluids each day. Water is the best type of fluid to drink and you should drink approximately 10-6 oz. glasses of water per day. Besides drinking water each day, you should also drink grapefruit juice. The components of the grapefruit juice will aid in helping to produce extra cervical mucus which will in turn help you in your conception ...
Trying to conceive can suddenly make everything feel more like a science lab rather than the often typical, sweaty thing that happens between two people. With all of the ovulation tracking, questions, and data mapping, it can all get confusing, so its crucial to be able to suss out whats important - you know, like the whole egg meeting the sperm shenanigans - and whats not. Like, whats all this talk about cervical mucus? Wondering, Can I improve my cervical mucus to get pregnant? Its a pretty big deal for trying to conceive, so it makes sense that you want your cervical mucus to be as beneficial to the process as possible.. First of all, why is cervical mucus so important? According to the American Pregnancy Association, cervical mucus plays a key role in the trying to conceive process by nourishing and protecting sperm as it makes the long journey to meet your eggs. The amount and quality of cervical mucus will vary throughout your menstrual cycle, making certain days better options for ...
1. I had an unprotected sex recently. How will my cervical mucus look like after ovulation if I am pregnant?. During the implantation, you may observe pink or brown discharge. However, for some women they may experience milky white and thin discharge. As pregnancy progresses, you will be observing an increase in the amount of white discharge.. 2. What does thick white cervical mucus mean after ovulation?. The thick cervical mucus after ovulation states that your fertile days are completed. If the discharge is excessive and white in color then it can indicate a conception. If the discharge is itchy, smelly, yellow or green in color then it indicates an infection. It is better to consult a doctor of you are observing any unusual changes in the cervical mucus.. 3. How does cervical mucus look like in early weeks of pregnancy?. Most of the women get confused between PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome) discharge and early pregnancy discharge. Usually, during early pregnancy the discharge will be milky white ...

Answer: As part of your daily fertility chart, monitoring changes in cervical mucus (CM, cervical fluids) is pivotal in determining the best time to make procreative love. During your menstrual cycle, youll likely experience a number of fluctuations in both the amount of cervical mucus present and in the quality of that those fluids: By quality, I am referring to the fertile or infertile quality of cervical fluids, their changing textures, colors, ph levels. As you near your ovulation day, cervical mucus will begin to become fertile and the amount of fluid present will likely increase daily as you near midcycle. Non-fertile CM is characterized by a thickness and sticky texture. It will hold its shape and wont stretch between fingertips, but rather disconnect or break. The color of this non-fertile mucus is going to be white or yellowish and it will be opaque (cant see light through it).Fertile cervical mucus (which enters the scene as you enter your fertile window) is going to be stretchy, ...

This time is the most likely time to find what is commonly known as EWCM (egg-white cervical mucus) or spinn (short for spinnbarkeit which is German for spider-web). EWCM is stringy hence coming from the word spider-web. It may appear as a glob, or in smaller amounts amongst more watery mucus. Not all women have egg-white cervical mucus, so dont be alarmed if you dont notice any. If you were to stretch EWCM between your thumb and index finger, you may notice it stretches, unlike the infertile mucus that keeps its shape. You can see why this form of mucus favours sperm - it has a consistency similar to sperm and creates an ideal environment for them to reach the egg.. ...
This method depends on the observation of changes in the consistency and the volume of cervical mucus in relation to the ovulation. On feeling the cervical mucus in the vagina by fingers the dry days and the wet days are recognized by the women. The wet days are the fertile days.. The number of wet days are about 10 days in 28 day cycle. Wet days start with sticky white mucus for 2-3 days following 2-3 days dry days after menses. Sticky white mucus days is followed by clear slippery profuse mucus for 3-5 days (this slippery mucus is capable of being stretched between two fingers) . The last day is called the peak day. Following peak day there is sticky mucus for 3 days. This the end of fertile period.. Many women are unable to observe these symptoms and thus the Pregnancy failure rate is as high as 22 per 100 women year.. ...
I keep talking about cervical mucus, so I want to make sure that its clear what Im referring to.. Cervical mucus is a type of fluid that your body makes when you are fertile (close to ovulation). This is a magical fluid because it allows sperm to live up to five whole days inside the womans reproductive tract. This is why its so important to know what it is and how to interpret it, because knowing this will allow you to know when you can (or cannot) get pregnant in each menstrual cycle.. The vagina is a naturally wet environment, and youll usually have some kind of dampness or moisture down there (called vaginal cell slough), so thats not what Im talking about.. Mucus is what is often referred to as discharge and the key difference is that it has staying power. What I mean is that you can pick it up and play with it between your fingers and it wont go anywhere. You can stretchy out multiple times and it wont go anywhere. This is in contrast to the normal cell slough that may be damp or ...

Oral contraceptives (OCs) remain among the most effective reversible methods of birth control available today, providing almost 100% effectiveness with an impressively high margin of safety and other important health benefits. However, concerns have been raised about the role that the hormones in OCs might play in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer. Evidence shows that long-term use of OCs (five or more years) may be associated with an increased risk of cancer of the cervix. The mechanism of increased risk of cervical cancer in OCs users has long been debated, and remains uncertain. Our hypothesis is that scanty, thick, and highly viscous cervical mucus obtained in OCs users intimately involved in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer. Possibly, this architecture of cervical mucus may modulate and prolong the effect of carcinogenic agents, which have been carried by coitus and stored in posterior vaginal fornix, on squamocolumnar junction of cervix by not permitting them to be removed because of ...
It will be around five days (approximately) before your period that youll notice the biggest of changes in your cervical mucus, and this is when you will produce the most. Especially the cervical fluid as it shows up before ovulation and will give a couple a chance to abstain until after ovulation. Well, its true there is an increase In CM before you find out got are pregnant. Read reports about cancer symptoms by our users with Cervical Cancer, which involve terms such as abnormal, back, bleeding, discharge, fatigue, heavy, intercourse, irregular, pain, pap, pelvic, periods, sex, time, vaginal. To sum it up, CM (cervical mucus) is one of the best ways to gauge where you are in your menstrual cycle (one cycle is the time from the start of one period to the start of the next one, roughly a month) and changes based on estrogen levels. If you are seeing a cottage discharge then it can indicate a yeast infection. If there isnt enough or its too thick, the sperm will get beached and never make ...

BACKGROUND. The link between mucus plugs and airflow obstruction has not been established in chronic severe asthma, and the role of eosinophils and their products in mucus plug formation is unknown. METHODS. In clinical studies, we developed and applied a bronchopulmonary segment-based scoring system to quantify mucus plugs on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) lung scans from 146 subjects with asthma and 22 controls, and analyzed relationships among mucus plug scores, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and airway eosinophils. Additionally, we used airway mucus gel models to explore whether oxidants generated by eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) oxidize cysteine thiol groups to promote mucus plug formation. RESULTS. Mucus plugs occurred in at least 1 of 20 lung segments in 58% of subjects with asthma and in only 4.5% of controls, and the plugs in subjects with asthma persisted in the same segment for years. A high mucus score (plugs in ≥ 4 segments) occurred in 67% of subjects with ...

Ovulation kits are great, but theres one easy way to check out if youre fertile - your cervical mucus. The changes in those secretions in your cervix play a huge role in your fertility and ovulation. During your fertile time, cervical mucus aids and helps sperm swim through the cervix to reach their final destination.. When youre fertile, you will be moist and sticky. Your cervical mucus will be white or creamy, and it breaks easily when you stretch it between your fingers. When your cervical mucus is thin, watery, transparent and has a similar consistency as an egg white, thats when you are at your most fertile and most likely to conceive if you have unprotected sex.. During the parts of the month when youre feeling dry down there, you arent fertile. Not having much cervical mucus may also be a sign of a fertility problem. It could mean that youre not ovulating, and this is especially true if you are missing periods or your cycle is irregular.. There are many reasons why you not be ...

BACKGROUND. The link between mucus plugs and airflow obstruction has not been established in chronic severe asthma, and the role of eosinophils and their products in mucus plug formation is unknown. METHODS. In clinical studies, we developed and applied a bronchopulmonary segment-based scoring system to quantify mucus plugs on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) lung scans from 146 subjects with asthma and 22 controls, and analyzed relationships among mucus plug scores, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and airway eosinophils. Additionally, we used airway mucus gel models to explore whether oxidants generated by eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) oxidize cysteine thiol groups to promote mucus plug formation. RESULTS. Mucus plugs occurred in at least 1 of 20 lung segments in 58% of subjects with asthma and in only 4.5% of controls, and the plugs in subjects with asthma persisted in the same segment for years. A high mucus score (plugs in ≥ 4 segments) occurred in 67% of subjects with ...

Birth control pills are made of hormones that prevent ovulation. The hormones in the pill also cause changes in the cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus. The cervical mucus thickens, which blocks the sperm from entering the cervix. The lining of the uterus thins, making it less likely that a fertilized egg can attach to it. Together, these events make it very unlikely that someone taking the pill will become pregnant.. The pill is a very effective form of birth control. When women use the pill correctly, fewer than 1 in 100 will get pregnant over 1 year. But, about 8 in 100 typical users (8%) will become pregnant. This is because one or more pills may be missed or are not absorbed (due to vomiting for instance). If this occurs, a backup method of birth control, such as a condom or spermicides, should be used. If pills are missed and a backup method is not used, emergency contraception can be used to prevent pregnancy.. The birth control pill is easy to use and convenient. But it does not ...
Doctors give trusted, helpful answers on causes, diagnosis, symptoms, treatment, and more: Dr. Fowler on mucolite cough syrup infant: It has been thought that it may thin the cervical mucus but there is no scientific evidence that it helps increase fertility. Cervical mucus problems are a rare cause of not getting pregnant (unless taking clomid, (clomiphene) or some women with previous leep or cone biopsy of the cervix).

Studies have found cervical secretion characteristics to be highly predictive of ovulation and can therefore be used to avoid pregnancy.64,65 Studies conducted by the World Health Organization indicate that 93% of women, regardless of their education level, are capable of identifying and distinguishing fertile and infertile cervical secretions.66. Three main cervical secretion methods exist and are described below. All the methods involve noting the presence or absence of cervical secretions, usually recommended to be checked both at midday and early evening when women are less likely to have sex. Women are further asked to characterize the secretions as to color, texture, and stretch, the detail depending on the method of instruction. Fertile cervical secretions are clear, wet, slippery, stretching and changing in quality. They are often compared with egg whites. Infertile secretions are unchanging and generally dry, sticky, cloudy, and do not stretch. Menstruation is considered fertile because ...

fluid produced by mucous membranes (mucosa), lining various cavities in the body, moistening and protecting the lining of the digestive, reproductive (like cervical mucus), respiratory, and urinary tracts, and other body systems. Mucus can be thin or thick, clear, green, yellow or white. Mucus found on stool is usually white. In small amounts it is usually normal. Increased amounts of mucus in the stool can occur in Irritable Bowel Syndrome, allergies/celiac disease, with constipation or diarrhea, or more serious conditions such as bowel obstruction, cancers of the colon or rectum. Green or yellow mucus in stool could be caused by a parasitic infection or yeast overgrowth. ...
Mucus is a slippery, viscous, water-based fluid produced by specialized mucous membranes. Mucous membranes line the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive tracts. Mucus contains hydrophilic proteins, immunoglobulins, enzymes, and shed cells, and serves a variety of functions in different circumstances. For example, mucus in the nose and respiratory tract serves to trap dust and other contaminants before they reach the lungs; in the gut it lubricates the lining; in the female reproductive tract, cervical mucus changes its properties during the menstrual cycle so as to promote or retard the passage of sperm. ...

Natural family planning is a method of contraception teaching women how to recognise on which days of the month they are fertile and on which days of the month they are not fertile in order to avoid pregnancy. There are clear physical signs which one can learn to recognise which tell you when you are ovulating. When the woman is not fertile, there is a firm plug of mucus in the neck of the cervix, which means that no sperm can enter the womb. This is the main way in which the progesterone only mini pill works. It is obvious when menstruation takes place - the first day of menstruation is called Day 1 of the cycle. The most usual pattern is for women to ovulate on day 14 of their cycle. They are generally fertile for about 5 days before ovulation and two days afterwards. During this period of time the cervical mucus changes from a thick, slightly sticky clouded mucus to a thin, clear, stringy and slippery quality. During this time also the cervix descends partially down the vagina and the neck ...

Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from an ovary during the menstrual cycle.. Ovulation dates vary widely from woman to woman and from month to month. Many women need to use one or more methods to pinpoint their ovulation day. This can be done by checking for several days of stringy cervical mucus, charting basal body temperature changes, and checking luteinizing hormone changes with urine test kits.. Some women feel a brief period of sharp pain on one side of the lower abdomen (the side where the egg was released) when they ovulate. This pain is called mittelschmerz. An increase in vaginal discharge or slight spotting may also occur near the time of ovulation. ...

Lets start at the beginning.. Of the tens of millions of human sperm ejected during intercourse, millions are destroyed by the acid environment (pH 3.8) of the vagina or trapped by gluey cervical mucus. Thousands more are killed by uterine leukocytes.[ref]Only strong sperm will make it. Force of numbers helps, too.[/ref] The sperm follow the gradient of the chemical progesterone, which is released by the oocyte (egg). The surviving sperm usually meet the oocyte in the uterine (fallopian) tubes between the ovary and the uterus, since an unfertilized egg cannot live long enough to make the three-day journey along the tube. It is a question of force of numbers, as hundreds of sperm burrow through the oocytes outer protective cover, the corona radiata. Together, they release digestive enzymes from their tips to degrade both this layer and the inner layer, the zona pellucida. Finally, one sperm may manage to fuse its cell membrane with that of the oocyte so that it can release its DNA-containing ...
There are two main theories on whether a womans orgasm can increase her odds in becoming pregnant.. The poleaxe hypothesis states that the purpose of having an orgasm is to relax the woman and make her feel sleepy so that she will want to lie down after sex. The upsuck theory is a hypothesis that the contractions caused by an orgasm makes the cervix contract into the vagina and suck up the semen. This mechanism is believed to help propel the sperm into the uterus and towards the fallopian tube to find the egg.. Unfortunately there isnt a study that ties female orgasm to conception. What some studies have shown though, is that the longer time is spent on foreplay and the more sexually aroused a man is before ejaculation, the greater his sperm count.. Increased estrogen levels in the days leading up to ovulation will also increase the cervical mucus and make it more likely for a woman to orgasm.. Research has also shown that female orgasms can be felt more intensely during ovulation and in ...

Um Rahmah Nzingha I married in July of 1996 after looking for a husband for three years. One of my main drives to marry was to have children, and my husband was also very eager to have children. I figured we would be blessed with a pregnancy shortly after we married, that is what everyone thought. It was a year and a half later, still no pregnancy, that we finally had insurance to go see a doctor to find out what was wrong. By this time I knew something was definitely wrong, and I knew I had to get something done. I had already checked out books, was able to chart my basal body temperature, I knew there were times when I ovulated properly and some times I didnt, I learned how to check my cervix position as well as cervical mucus. I also read up on common infertility problems and diagnosed myself with endometriosis, signs such as painful relations and painful menstrual cycles gave it away. My doctor was extremely happy that I was reading on the topic, it made things easier for both of us, the ...
Birth control pills are made of artificially manufactured hormones which prevent conception by creating conditions within a womans body similar to those present during actual pregnancy. Since ovulation does not occur during pregnancy, it does not occur if a woman takes her prescribed dosage of pills. Furthermore, oral contraceptives change the nature of cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus, thus preventing pregnancy. There are different types of birth control pills: Combination pills contain both estrogen and progestin in each pill. Sequential pills contain estrogen only in each pill taken during most of the pill-taking cycle and a combination of estrogen and progesterone in each pill taken the last few days. Two or three days after taking the last pill - combination or sequential - you begin to menstruate. Sequential pills are considered more of a health risk because the estrogen content is high and not balanced with progesterone in most of the pills taken during the cycle. The higher ...

Hormonal contraceptives use laboratory-produced hormones to mimic the actions of naturally produced progesterone and estrogen. The pills can contain both progestin and estrogen or can have progesterone alone. The hormones are made in a way that mimics the normal menstruation cycle in the body.. The hormones prevent pregnancy through many ways like thickening the cervical mucus so that the sperm is unable to reach the fallopian tubes for fertilization. The hormones can also thin the endometrial lining of the uterus which is the area where the zygote implants and therefore this layer becomes unable to support pregnancy. The hormonal pills can also prevent the release of the ovum from the ovary and therefore fertilization is impossible and this helps to prevent pregnancy.. How well the pill works in preventing pregnancy depends on a couple of factors like whether the pill is taken appropriately, vomiting and diarrhea reduce the effectiveness of the pill and other medications like antihypertensive, ...

I started using the Creighton Model because my husband and I had been struggling with infertility for 2.5 years. I was always familiar with my cycles and thought I knew them very well but I ended up learning so much through the Creighton Model. After looking at my chart, Kristin discovered my chart indicated that I had low progesterone. Kristin immediately referred me to the NaPro Technology doctor and I was prescribed progesterone. Kristin also suggested I take vitamin B6 to help increase my fertile cervical mucus. After 2 months of taking progesterone and 1 month of taking vitamin B6 I became pregnant! Kristin is very knowledgeable about the Creighton Model and was extremely helpful in helping us learn the charting process which ultimately led to my pregnancy after just 3 months of charting. I will definitely be using the Creighton Model to chart my cycles again!. ...

The human body produces the mucus at all times, but you dont usually take much notice of it.

With exposure to triggers, the following changes occur: The lining of the airways becomes swollen and inflamed. The muscles that surround the airways tighten. More mucus is produced, leading to mucus plugs. All of these factors cause the airways to narrow. This makes it hard for air to go in and out of the lungs. What causes asthma? The exact cause of asthm...

Her lungs always sound clear at the docs, even in the hospital. When she has an asthmatic reaction, mucus plugs her tiniest lung parts so her lungs cannot exchange oxygen with her blood. Indeed, the first time they have an incident, it is often diagnosed as pneumonia. Dave and I both sighed with relief at that news: this asthma may be weird, but its absolutely the textbook case. The doctor also said an underlying bacterial infection or autoimmune issue is unlikely because generally Bridget is a very strong, healthy little girl who all of a sudden gets very, very sick ...
