Some Diseases In Human Reproductive System

Reproductive system in humans susceptible to disease , disorder disorders . Symptoms can be caused by various factors . It could be due to tumors , viruses , bacteria , or indeed disebbakan reproductive organ dysfunction by the unexpected things such as food or chemical substances into the human body . In this article will discuss diseases of the human reproductive system and divided into two groups of diseases and disorders of the female reproductive diseases and disorders of the male reproductive organs .

Impaired Female Reproductive Organs

Disease that can affect a woman's reproductive system can include menstrual disorders , cancer in the genital area , vaginal infections and endometriosis .


Menstrual disorders

Disorder or the disease may be primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea . Primary amenorrhea is a symptom in which menstruation does not occur until the age of 17 years and not followed by the development of secondary sexual element .

In disorders of urinary system

Urinal System or usually called the urogenital system is a system in which the blood screening process so that the blood is free from substances which are not used by the body and absorbed substances are still used by the body . Substances which are not used by the body is water soluble and secreted form of urine ( urine) .
The composition of the urinary system ( urinary system ) in the human body are the kidneys , ureters , urinary bladder , and urethra . In the urinary system , there could be disturbances . Detail , the disturbances are as follows .
I. urogenital tract INFECTION
Urogenital tract infections are generally caused by the bacteria Escherichia coli . Can be caused by Proteus , Klebsiella , and Staphylococcus especially when being catheterized . In the urogenital tract , the disease can occur , such as :
1 . Cystitis
Cystitis is an infection of the urinary tract , which is more common in women than men , because the mouth of the urethra and vagina of women close to the anal area . Risk factors cystitis is intercourse , pregnancy , bladder neurogenis , catheter placement , state - objec obstructive and diabetes mellitus . If it continues , will cause the germs up from the bladder to the renal pelvis , which is called pyelonephritis . Patients will feel complaints such as cystitis dysuria ( pain during micturition ) , frequent urination , urination continues to feel wanted , and pain over the suprapubic area .
2 . Pyelonephritis
Pyelonephritis is an inflammation of the renal pelvis . The most common cause of this disease is a bacteria that comes from the bladder that extends up to the renal pelvis . There are acute pyelonephritis and there are chronic . There are two types of chronic pyelonephritis , which is caused by the reflux pyelonephritis vesikouretral which can lead to infection and peripheral papillae compounds in polar renal scarring . And pyelonephritis caused by urinary tract obstruction that causes high pressure behind the flow of urine , which causes infections of all papillae , renal scarring spreading and thinning of the renal cortex layer .

Prostate Cancer

The prostate gland is a gland of the male reproductive system located at the base or neck of the bladder . These glands consist of the testes , scrotum , penis and other accessory sex organs .

The prostate gland is a small, sleek , size of a walnut and is located in the neck of the bladder and in front of the rectum ( anus ) and surrounds the urethra ( urinary tract ) .

The prostate produces a milky fluid that is cement , which will be added to the sperm during ejaculation . The seminal vesicles are located just above the prostate are two small glands that secrete about 60 % of the substances that make up semen . While on the nerves that control the prostate is located erectile function .

Prostate Gland Function

Scientists do not yet know all the functions of the prostate . But as part of the male reproductive system , one of its main roles are :

Pressing whitish fluid ( semen ) into the urethra ( urinary tract ) as the semen during sexual climax .
Prostatic fluid , which helps make semen , sperm of energy , is the largest part of the volume of ejaculate and make the vaginal canal becomes less acidic .

Genital warts are flat or raised with a stalk ( pedunculated ) like cauliflower , usually grow on the genitals and rectal area . Another name for this disease is condyloma , condylomata acuminata , cock 's comb .

Warts found on the genitals of men and women is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the human papillomavirus ( HPV ) . There are more than 40 types of HPV that can infect the genital areas of men and women around .

That attacks of genital HPV types can also infect other parts of the body such as the mouth and throat . Most people with HPV do not even know they have the virus in his body . Different HPV symptoms and consequently with the herpes virus or HIV that causes AIDS

Candidiasis

Candidiasis is an opportunistic infection ( OI ) is very common in people with HIV infection . The infection is caused by a common fungus called candida . This fungus , a kind of yeast , is found in most people's bodies . A healthy immune system keeps it under control . Candida usually infects the mouth , throat and vagina . The IO may occur months or years before other, more serious IO . See Fact Sheet ( LI ) 500 for more information on IO .
In the mouth , the infection is called thrush . When the infection spreads deeper into the throat , it is called esophagitis . Small white patches like foam , or red spots . This disease can cause sore throat , difficulty swallowing , nausea , and loss of appetite .
Candidiasis is different from the sprue , although the cloud is often referred to it as thrush . See Fact Sheet 624 for information about the correct sprue .
Candidiasis of the vagina is called vaginitis . This disease is common . Symptoms include itching , burning, and a thick white liquid . Candida can also spread and cause infection in the brain , heart , joints , and eyes .
prevention
There is no way to prevent exposure to candida . Generally , the drug used to prevent candidiasis . There are several reasons :

Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis , a type of vaginitis , generally is a sexually transmitted disease ( STD ) . Because of the habit of determining the type of disease and treatment by the clients themselves and diagnosis by health professionals without using adequate checks , some people with undiagnosed trichomoniasis . Determination of the type of disease might occur because of the presence of the drugs are sold freely . Symptoms and signs of trichomoniasis are not very specific , and diagnosis memebutuhkan simple laboratory tests such as wet preparations (wet mount ) .
Trichomoniasis can cause a person to lose his day because of the bad taste that it causes , so this infection should not be ignored. The presence of the combined incidence of infection with other STDs is important to consider when making a diagnosis of trichomoniasis . Trichomoniasis is a problem for the sufferer because the symptoms and possible complications it causes.
In the girls before the age of puberty , healthy vaginal walls thin and hypoestrogenic , with a pH greater than 4.7 , the examination with culture ( culture ) will show some microorganisms . After she became an adult , the vaginal walls become thickened and lactobacilli are the dominant microorganisms , decreased vaginal pH to less than 4.5 .
Lactobacillus is important to protect the vagina from infection , and the flora of the vaginal lactobacilli are dominant ( although not the only vaginal flora stau ) . The incubation period before the onset of symptoms after the infection varies between 3-28 days . During the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis infection , trichomonas are moving ( motile trichomonads jerky ) can be seen from examination of the wet mount . Vaginal pH rises, as well as the number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes ( PMN ) . PMN leukocytes is the primary defense mechanism of the host ( host / manuasia ) , and they respond to the presence of chemical substances released trichomonas . T vaginalis damage epithelial cells by means of direct contact and by releasing cytotoxic substances . T vaginalis is also attached to the host plasma proteins , thus preventing recognition by alternative mechanisms that exist in the host and host proteinases against the entry of T vaginalis .

Syphilis ( syphilis )

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the spirochete bacterium , Treponema pallidum .
Transmission is usually through sexual contact , but there are several other examples of such direct contact and congenital syphilis ( transmission through mother to child in the uterus ) .
Symptoms and signs of syphilis many and different ; before development serologikal tests , diagnosis is difficult and the disease is often called " the Great Imitators " because it is often mistaken for other diseases .
In the United States , approximately 36,000 cases of syphilis are reported each year , and the actual figure is higher diperkiran . Approximately three-fifths of cases happen to him .
If untreated , syphilis can cause serious effects such as damage to the nervous system , heart , or brain . Untreated syphilis can be fatal . People are more likely to get syphilis or find a sexual partner who may be exposed to syphilis is recommended to immediately see a doctor as soon as possible .
Syphilis can be treated with penicillin or other antibiotics . According to statistics , treatment with the pill less effective than other treatments , because patients usually do not complete treatment. How effective is the oldest and still with procaine penicillin injections in each buttock ( procaine opted to reduce pain ) ; dose should be given half in each buttock because when used as a single dose will cause pain . Another way is to give azithromycin capsules by mouth (it has a long duration ) and must be observed . This method may fail because there are several types of syphilis resistant to azithromycin and approximately 10 % of cases occurred in 2004 . Additional treatments are less effective because patients are required to take pills several times per day .
Health care professionals suggest safer sex by using a condom when performed sexual activity , but can not guarantee a definite keeper . The best suggestion is the prevention of sexual activity with a person who has a sexually transmitted disease and the disease status of the negative .
This disease in men more visible symptoms compared with women perempuan.Biasanya gejalanya.Gejala not know that there is such a red rash in the genital area , and are usually very gatal.Meski women will not know whether he was suffering from syphilis , should guard against contracting the disease and transmit the disease to people else.And for men should also keep yourself from getting infected or pass it to the lain.Cara only to prevent this from happening is loyal to her partner and also routinely checked by a physician in order not to be too severe .

HIV/AIDS

understanding HIV
HIV ( human immunodeficiency virus ) is a retrovirus that infects cells of the human body 's immune system - especially CD4 + T cells and macrophages , a vital component of the immune system system " host " - and destroy or impair their function . HIV infection causes a rapid reduction of the immune system , which causes immune deficiency . HIV is the basic cause of AIDS .
From the results of the study , all patients with HIV / AIDS who have entered into the phase seropositive , asymptomatic hypothyroidism .
introduction
The term has been used since 1986 HIV ( Coffin et al . , 1986) as the name for the retrovirus that was first proposed as the cause of AIDS by Luc Montagnier of France , which was originally named it LAV ( lymphadenopathy - associated virus ) ( Barre - Sinoussi et al . , 1983 ) and by Robert Gallo of the United States , which was originally named HTLV - III (human T lymphotropic virus type III ) ( Popovic et al . , 1984) . The phylogenetic tree of the SIV and HIV viruses .
HIV is a member of the lentivirus genus , part of the family Retroviridae are characterized by a long latency period and a cover of lipids from host cells surrounding a central initial protein / RNA . Two species of HIV infect humans : HIV - 1 and HIV - 2 . HIV - 1 is more " virulent " and more easily transmitted , and is the source of most HIV infections throughout the world ; HIV - 2 is still mostly confined to west Africa ( Reeves and Doms , 2002) . Both species originated in west and central Africa , jumping from primates to humans in a process known as zoonosis .
HIV - 1 has evolved from a simian immunodeficiency virus ( SIVcpz ) found in the chimpanzee subspecies , Pan troglodytes . HIV - 2 is a species of a different strain of SIV , sooty mangabeys are found in , Old World monkey of Guinea - Bissau ( Reeves and Doms , 2002) .
Three groups of HIV - 1 has been identified by the expression of the viral genome called env , namely : M , N and O. Group M env is the most common genome with 8 subtype differences influenced the geographical factors , among others : B ( in the United States and Europe ) , A and D ( in Africa ) , C ( in Africa and Asia ) . subsequent infection by a different subtype , raises circulating recombinant forms [ 2 ] (English : circulating recombinant forms, CRF ) .
Recombinant form of the first to be discovered was the recombinant AG of central and western Africa , then recombinant AGI of Greece and Cyprus , recombinant AE AB from Russia and southeast Asia . Nevertheless , CRF AE precursor form of type E still missing . 47 % of infections occur in all parts of the world is subtype C , 27 % in the form CRF02_AG , 12.3 % in subtype B , 4 % were subtype D , and 4 % is an AE CRF , the remaining 5.7 % composed of other subtypes and CRFs . The last 95 % of HIV research is focused on subtype B , sedangkn several laboratories using subtype C.
structure of HIV
HIV is different in structure to retroviruses described previously . The magnitude of about 120 nm in diameter ( trillionth 120 billion meters , approximately 60 times smaller than a red blood cell ) and roughly " spherical "
            Here are some important points in the case with HIV / AIDS :
a) The means Penularanya
Ø Alternate sexual partners , or sexual intercourse with a person infected with HIV virus
Ø Put used needles and HIV-infected individuals
Ø Receiving a blood transfusion with HIV -tainted blood
Ø Pregnant women infected with HIV will transmit to the baby in kandunganya



b ) How to Overcome / Pengobatanya
     Until now have not found a way of treatment of HIV / AIDS finished . Currently , there is only helping the patient to maintain his health .
c ) How to Safely Avoid
Ø Not changing partners , and avoiding sexual relations outside of marriage
Ø As far as possible avoid blood transfusion unclear origin
Ø Using tools of medical and nonmedical guaranteed sterile
d ) The characteristics of people infected with HIV / AIDS
Ø flu and diarrhea after a few weeks the patient is infected
Ø After 5-6 years infected patient will experience :
· Arise recurrent diarrhea
· Sudden weight loss
· Frequent canker sores in the mouth
· There was crusting in the lymph nodes

Description of the Smallpox Disease Similar But Not The Same

Smallpox is a contagious disease and can sometimes be fatal caused by the variola virus . The variola virus will cause a red rash contains fluid around the surface of the skin on the patient .

Most people never heard of smallpox . But the reality is , not everyone knows exactly what the disease is . Not to mention there is a term that is increasingly mixed , between smallpox , chicken pox , smallpox snake , and monkey pox .

smallpox

Smallpox in medical language called variola , it is in English called small pox . Diseases caused by viruses poks ( pox virus ) has existed since centuries ago and is highly contagious .

Symptoms that occur to those who are infected with the fever , and bubbles appear simultaneously pus in the skin areas of the face, hands , feet , and finally the whole body . The disease is often fatal, especially if the infant or elderly . For those who can heal too, will give a mark on the skin in the form of pockmarks .

Fortunately , this disease is no longer the world . In the 19th century , all over the world to get rid of this disease by immunization . In parts of Indonesia , measles immunization has been carried out since 1856, by the Dutch Government .

URETEROLITHIASIS (BATU URETER)

A.    PENGERTIAN
                  Ureterolithiasis adalah suatu keadaan terjadinya penumpukan oksalat, calculi (batu ginjal) pada ureter atau pada daerah ginjal. Ureterolithiasis terjadi bila batu ada di dalam saluran perkemihan.  Batu itu sendiri disebut calculi. Pembentukan batu mulai dengan kristal yang terperangkap di suatu tempat sepanjang saluran perkemihan yang tumbuh sebagai pencetus larutan urin. Calculi bervariasi dalam ukuran dan dari fokus mikroskopik sampai beberapa centimeter dalam diameter cukup besar untuk masuk dalam pelvis ginjal. Gejala rasa sakit yang berlebihan pada pinggang, nausea, muntah, demam, hematuria. Urine berwarna keruh seperti teh atau merah. (Brunner and Suddarth, 2002: 1460).
Batu ureter pada umumnya berasal dari batu ginjal yang turun ke ureter. Batu ureter mungkin dapat lewat sampai ke kandung kemih dan kemudian keluar bersama kemih. Batu ureter juga bisa sampai ke kandung kemih dan kemudian berupa nidus menjadi batu kandung kemih yang besar. Batu juga bisa tetap tinggal di ureter sambil menyumbat dan menyebabkan obstruksi kronik dengan hidroureter yang mungkin asimtomatik. Tidak jarang terjadi hematuria yang didahului oleh serangan kolik. (R. Sjamsuhidajat, 1998 Hal. 1027).
 Urolithiasis adalah kalsifikasi dengan sistem urinari kalkuli, seringkali disebut batu ginjal. Batu dapat berpindah ke ureter dan kandung kemih (Black, Joyce, 1997, hal. 1595).
Urolithiasis adalah benda zat padat yang dibentuk oleh presipitasi berbagai zat terlarut dalam urine pada saluran kemih. Batu dapat berasal dari kalsium oksalat (60%), fosfat sebagai campuran kalsium, amonium, dan magnesium fosfat (batu tripel fosfat akibat infeksi) (30%), asam urat (5%), dan sistin (1%).( Pierce A. Grace & Neil R. Borley 2006, ILMU BEDAH, hal. 171).
Urolithiasis adalah penyakit diamana didapatkan batu di dalam saluran air kemih, yang dimulai dari kaliks sampai dengan uretra anterior.(DR. Nursalam, M. Nurs & Fransica B.B, Sistem Perkemihan, hal. 76).

B.     ETIOLOGI
                  Sampai saat sekarang penyebab terbentuknya batu belum diketahui secara pasti. Beberapa faktor predisposisi terjadinya batu :
    1.    Ginjal
Tubular rusak pada nefron, mayoritas terbentuknya batu
    2.     Immobilisasi
Kurang gerakan tulang dan muskuloskeletal menyebabkan penimbunan kalsium. Peningkatan kalsium di plasma akan meningkatkan pembentukan batu.
   3.    Infeksi : infeksi saluran kemih dapat menyebabkan nekrosis jaringan ginjal dan menjadi inti pembentukan batu.
   4.    Kurang minum : sangat potensial terjadi timbulnya pembentukan batu.
   5.    Pekerjaan : dengan banyak duduk lebih memungkinkan terjadinya pembentukan batu dibandingkan pekerjaan seorang buruh atau petani.
   6.    Iklim : tempat yang bersuhu dingin (ruang AC) menyebabkan kulit kering dan pemasukan cairan kurang. Tempat yang bersuhu panas misalnya di daerah tropis, di ruang mesin menyebabkan banyak keluar keringat, akan mengurangi produksi urin.

FIMOSIS

A. Pengertian
Fimosis adalah keadaan di mana kulit penis (preputium) melekat pada bagian kepala penis (glans) dan mengakibatkan tersumbatnya lubang saluran air seni, sehingga bayi dan anak jadi kesulitan dan kesakitan saat kencing.

B. Patofisiologi
Fimosis dialami oleh sebagian besar bayi baru lahir karena terdapat adesi alamiah antara prepusium dengan glans penis. Hingga usia 3-4 tahun penis tumbuh dan berkembang dan debris yang dihasilkan oleh epitel prepusium (smegma) mengumpul didalam prepusium dan perlahan-lahan memisahkan prepusium dari glans penis. Ereksi penis yang terjadi secara berkala membuat prepusium terdilatasi perlahan-lahan sehingga prepusium menjadi retraktil dan dapat ditarik ke proksimal. Pada usia 3 tahun, 90 % prepusium sudah dapat diretraksi.

Tapi pada sebagian anak, prepusium tetap lengket pada glans penis, sehingga ujung preputium mengalami penyempitan dan akhirnya dapat mengganggu fungsi miksi / berkemih. Smegma terjadi dari sel-sel mukosa prepusium dan glans penis yang mengalami deskuamasi oleh bakteri yang ada didalamnya.

C. Tanda dan gejala
Tanda dan gejala fimosis diantaranya :
1. Penis membesar dan menggelembung akibat tumpukan urin
2. Kadang-kadang keluhan dapat berupa ujung kemaluan menggembung saat mulai miksi yang kemudian menghilang setelah berkemih. Hal tersebut disebabkan oleh karena urin yang keluar terlebih dahulu tertahan dalam ruangan yang dibatasi oleh kulit pada ujung penis sebelum keluar melalui muaranya yang sempit.
3. Biasanya bayi menangis dan mengejan saat BAK karena timbul rasa sakit.
4. Kulit penis tak bias ditarik kea rah pangkal ketika akan dibersihkan
5. Air seni keluar tidak lancer. Kadang-kadang menetes dan kadang-kadang memancar dengan arah yang tidak dapat diduga
6. Bisa juga disertai demam
7. Iritasi pada penis.
