Genital Warts:            

Cause and Symptoms: The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmissible infection (STI) in the world. Most people will get HPV at some point in their lives, but most won’t know because they have no symptoms. For most people HPV will usually go away on its own and without the need for any treatment. There are many different types of HPV. Some forms of HPV can cause health problems such as genital warts or changes to your cells that can lead to cancer, such as cancer of the cervix, vulva, penis, anus or throat. You can get HPV or genital warts through close skin to skin contact, usually during sex. Genital warts might take weeks or months to appear after having sex, or they might never appear.

Genital warts look like small skin-coloured lumps on your vulva, vagina, cervix, penis, scrotum or anus. They might be itchy. They may also be very small and hard to see. A nurse or doctor will be able to check more closely for you.

Methods used years ago

Pessaries

A pessary in this context is a way of blocking the cervix. The gap allows a rod to be placed into the cervix to hold the pessary in place. While it could remain in place during intercourse, such intercourse could be painful.

Richard Richter IUD

Dr. Richard Richter of Poland claimed success in preventing conception with an intrauterine ring. He fashioned the flexible ring with suture material and inserted it into the uterus with a notched instrument.

Acacia Paste

Starting around the 16th century BCE, Egyptian and Mesopotamian women enlisted the help of acacia (a type of tree) in their contraception efforts. Women mixed unripe acacia fruit with honey and ground dates. They soaked a piece of cotton or other plant fiber in the paste and inserted it in their vagina, like a tampon. Acacia gum ferments into lactic acid which can act as a spermicide.

Modern Methods

The most common and effective method of preventing pregnancy is condoms.

The condom is commonly made of latex or synthetic substitutes.  It is extremely successful for preventing pregnancy and STIs and is available for both men and women. The male version is wrapped around the penis when erect, and the female version is inserted in the vagina before intercourse.

Another common method is birth control pills. Birth control pills are effective for preventing pregnancy, however offer no protection against STIs. Birth control pills release a mix of hormones that prevent ovulation. A birth control pill can only be taken by women and should be taken for the first time at least 1 week before sex. After 1 week the pills should come into effect. If the pills are discontinued for a long time, this week long process may need to be repeated.

IUD (intrauterine device) is a  small device implanted into the uterus. They are typically made of copper. They work by preventing semen from reaching the eggs. Occasionally, Sperm can pass through to the egg, however the IUD then prevents the egg from moving. The IUD needs to be inserted by a doctor in a quick procedure and can be left up to five years I did the vagina. A woman is capable of being impregnated immediately after it is removed.

Twins (Fraternal) - Task 1 

Twins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy. Fraternal twins mean that each twin develops from a separate egg and each egg is fertilized by its own sperm cell.

2. Each eggs is fertilized by two separate sperm cells therefore giving us a two independent simultaneous fertilisation.

3. Both eggs then travel to the womb and implants separately ready for labour.

Twins (Identical) - Task 1

Twins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy. Identical twins mean that they develop from one sperm cell, which splits and forms two embryos.

2. Forms the embryo then travels to the womb.

3. The embryo splits into two before implanting in the womb therefore making twims

Twin pregnancy is not just risky for the babies but also to Twin pregnancy is not just risky for the babies but also to the mother. Many of the risks to the mother are also risks to the unborn babies, since they can lead to premature labor, complications or even fetal death. Pregnancy induced hypertension or also know as PIH, is high blood pressure during pregnancy. As many as 37% of twin pregnancies involve PIH, it can lead to premature labor or a baby who doesn't grow well. It can also be a serious threat to the mother's health, especially if it develops into preeclampsia, (high blood pressure).

If they wake up during the night feed them, and this is usually every 3 hours.

I think the hardest part about looking after babies is the the fact that we have to constantly have to keep an eye on them. We could be doing something else and all of sudden the baby is crying and needs your attention and needs to get fed and to get it’s diaper changed. Also being like older you could also be very busy with business like work etc and having to keep an eye on them as well will probably get stressful. I have experience of babies though and that I know of is very adorable and cute and love being around them but can understand having one could get hard.
