Contraception. The vaginal ring (Nuvaring) is a hormonal estroprogestative contraceptive. Inserted into the vagina, it slowly releases estrogen and progestin hormones into the body. These hormones stop ovulation and thicken the cervical mucus, creating a barrier to prevent sperm from fertilizing an egg.

TRIPTORELIN. Photo essay in a medically assisted procreation centre at the Pierre Rouques hospital ´Les Bluets´, Paris, France. Decapeptyl active principle : Triptoreline, pharmacological class : GnRH analog. This drug is used in the treatment of feminine infertility to induce an ovulation before an in vitro fertilization, in association with gonadotropins. It is also used in treatment of hormono_dependant cancer prostate with metastases hormonotherapy.

MENOPAUSE, ILLUSTRATION. MENOPAUSE, ILLUSTRATION Representation of hormonal disruption during menopause leading to the lack of ovulation and the halt of periods. The woman is no longer fertile. The ovary reponds less and less to FSH and LH secreted by the pituitary gland, the ovulation is then occuring less often. The rate of inhibine, estrogen and progesterone secreted by the ovary decreases, reducing the negative feedback of FSH and LH, of which the secretion then increases, which provokes hot

IUD. IUD An intrauterine device (IUD) is inserted into the uterus to prevent conception. The device can be withdrawn by pulling on the thread which extends to the vagina. “Active” devices contain copper or progesterone, which changes the uterine mucosa and prevents implantation of the fertilized egg. Complications include infection of the uterine tube (salpingitis). Intrauterine devices are not recommended for women who have not had children. Here the IUD is shown in yellow with the threads u

GYNECOLOGY, ILLUSTRATION. GYNECOLOGY, ILLUSTRATION The female genital system includes all the organs involved in reproduction. The ovaries secrete female hormones and release ova or eggs. After their release from the ovary, ova enter the Fallopian tubes where fertilization takes place. The fertilized egg then migrates to the uterus, a hollow cone-shaped organ lying between the urinary bladder and the rectum. The lower part of the uterus is continuous with the cervix which opens into the vagin

It is fertilized in vitro with spermatozoids from a male donor monkey. After three days, the egg has divided into eight identical cells from which the nuclei, containing the genetic code of the two donors, is removed and implanted into the cytoplasm of receiving ovules from other female monkeys. These new ovules are transferred to surrogate mother monkeys who wi

INSEMINATION. INSEMINATION At fertilization, several thousand spermatozoids surround the ovum, but only one will enter the ovum and fertilize it. The spermatozoid penetrates the ovum by secreting enzymes which open the cell layers enveloping the ovum. Once the spermatozoid has entered the ovum, the genetic material contained in the nucleus of the ovum and the spermatozoid fusion. The tail of the spermatozoid falls off and the fertilized egg becomes impermeable to other spermatozoids.
