Ferlitility and Infertility :


The Purpose of Reproduction
Introduction
One organ system by which humans reproduce and bear live offspring is human
reproductive system. Humans continue their futue generation life allowing delivere of
hereditary traits from one generation to the next through mechanism called reproduction. This
process requires a mutual interdependent cooperation between male and female reproductive
system to be fertile. Conversely, any problems occur during the process may cause inability to
produce offspring. Talking about human growth population, human reproduction concern to
two disticnt condition leading to (very active) fertile or infertile states. Both sides have crucial
implication in a human life personally or in a public area. Hence, a doctor should be able to
identify various clinical conditions underlying problems of being infertile and is required to
promote management of family planning. Emphasis would be placed on covering problems of
infertility and family planning management. Some other materials relevant to the concern are
invited to build comprehensive understanding of the issue. It is recommended that students
revisite material available on blocks of Life Cycle and Endocrine System.
Learning objectives
- Identify problems of (very active) fertility and infertility viewed in biological and social
aspects
- Understand various clinical problems as the pathophysiology of being infertile for both male
and female reproductive system
- Identify the social factors influencing health reproduction
- Promote family planning management
Level of competency : 1, 2, 3B
Conceptual Framework
Human reproductive system works on some requirements and mechanisms. Provided
that the organ system of male and female are present and normally structured with functions
properly, to be fertile subsequent process must occur, including (1) the release of ovum or egg
at a specific time in the reproductive cycle in a process called ovulation, (2) an
internal fertilization of the ovum by spermatozoa, or sperm cells, (3) transport of the fertilized
ovum to the uterus, or womb, (4) implantation of the blastocyst, the early embryo developed
from the fertilized ovum, in the wall of the uterus, (5) formation of a placenta and maintenance
of the unborn child during the entire period of pregnancy. Any problems occur on both
structure and function of the reproductive system from both female and male may result in fail
to conceive a baby, a condition called infertility. The underlying mechanism disturbing the
reproduction process may come from various clinical problems such as endometriosis,
policystic ovary, infection, smoking etc. Students are recommended to identify many diseases
of reproductive system with condition leading to infertility problems by applying SKDI list of
reproductive diseases according to level of mastery to be a general practitioner.
